The procurement, located in London, United Kingdom, falls under the services category and targets the financial and evaluation consultancy services industry. The milestone for the expression of interest is due by 19th May 2025, with planned discussions to take place shortly thereafter. Suppliers interested should submit their expressions of interest through the FCA's Procurement portal. The anticipated analysis will last approximately seven months, beginning on the 25th of August 2025 and concluding by the end of May 2026. The procurement is significant in scope with a projected value of £600,000, and it's open to SMEs. This tender presents a strategic opportunity for consultancy firms, especially those specialised in economic evaluations, financial consultancy, and economic impact assessments, to expand their business reach. Companies with expertise in evaluating economic impacts, particularly within the payments sector or fraud prevention, are well-positioned to compete. Participation in this procurement could lead to valuable collaborations, insights into industry benchmarks, and potential future engagements with influential financial entities like the Financial Conduct Authority and His Majesty's Treasury. Firms can leverage this opportunity to showcase their capabilities and establish a presence in a high-profile sector with significant economic oversight responsibilities. ## Notice We are engaging the market to make providers aware of upcoming economist consultancy opportunity for the PSR. ### Planning Information The Payments Systems Regulator (PSR) would like to engage with prospective suppliers ahead of our planned procurement, which seeks a consultancy to deliver an independent review to assess the impacts of our key APP scams policies.
