The procurement is in the planning stage, with key dates including a future notice date of 13th January 2025. FSCS aims to create a framework that will enable quick access to specialist expertise, notably in areas such as actuarial knowledge, insolvency, and recoveries assistance. The location for this procurement is the United Kingdom, and it will primarily utilise a services procurement method. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial and insurance consultancy services. Companies with capabilities in financial management, insurance consultancy, and financial transaction processing will find this tender particularly advantageous for fostering business growth. The flexible nature of the framework will allow businesses to provide on-demand expertise, aligning with FSCS's need for quick and sometimes instantaneous technical and policy support in emerging and new areas. This can be a notable pathway for firms aiming to expand their portfolio and establish long-term engagements with a prominent public sector body like FSCS. ## Notice FSCS is seeking to create a 'Specialist Services' framework to provide quick access to specialist expertise and support on an as-needed basis, with services including, but not limited to, specialist technical knowledge and advice, operationalising new rules, and resource augmentation - including in emerging and new areas of work not currently covered by FSCS. FSCS is undertaking an RFI to receive feedback and information from the market for provision of the services sought that will assist FSCS in its options analysis. The objectives for FSCS are to: *Gauge interest from the market to an FSCS framework *Understand market capability across the areas identified as being within scope. *Understand the expectations on FSCS in respect of ongoing engagement during the framework term. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The purpose of the 'Specialist Services' framework is to provide FSCS with quick access to expertise, support or resource where the knowledge/skills are not readily available in-house. Examples of knowledge/skills that may be required are actuarial expertise, insolvency, recoveries assistance, insurance failures, loss adjusters, run-off processing capability such as Employers' Liability, complex products, RECAL/Pension calculation expertise, fast response for large deposits failure, and forecasting and planning expertise. The framework needs to be flexible and able to provide quick, sometimes instant, access to technical and policy/regulatory expertise in new or emerging areas, or in products that may be covered by FSCS in the future. It should also be able to provide additional overflow for volumes that FSCS is unable to process through its 'business as usual' resourcing model. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033929-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Jan 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPENSATION SCHEME | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC3A 7QU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Portsoken | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services - 66170000 - Financial consultancy, financial transaction processing and clearing-house services - 66171000 - Financial consultancy services - 66519310 - Insurance consultancy services - 79412000 - Financial management consultancy services ## Release History - 21 Oct 2024 at 11:05 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033929-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.fscs.org.uk - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/Y8FQHN8N49 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Financial-and-insurance-services./Y8FQHN8N49 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
