The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), based in London, has completed the procurement process for expert witness services, classified under CPV code 71319000. The contract, valued at £180,000, was awarded to MAZARS LLP. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was finalised on 30th January 2025, with the contract set to start on 3rd March 2025 and end on 30th November 2026.
