This procurement falls under the services industry category and focuses on evaluation consultancy services, specifically targeting Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud policies. The procurement proceeded under an open procedure, a method allowing unrestricted competition, and was recently awarded on 29th September 2025. The contract, valued at £459,683 with a period from 19th September 2025 to 31st May 2026, was awarded to Frontier Economics Limited, based in London. This tender specifically supported services related to business and management consultancy, and economic impact assessments, offering opportunities for firms specialising in these areas. This procurement presents significant growth prospects for large enterprises and SMEs proficient in economic research and consultancy services. By encouraging participation through an open process, the FCA has offered a platform for companies adept at delivering impactful, independent evaluations to make meaningful contributions to governmental policy assessments. Businesses, especially those with established expertise in evaluation consultancy and economic impact assessments, can leverage such contracts to enhance their portfolios, drive industry recognition, and establish long-term governmental partnerships. The involvement of firms like Frontier Economics in such high-profile evaluations affirms the substantial business potential and credence this procurement scope holds within the UK market. ## Notice The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is establishing a contractual mechanism for the Payments Systems Regulator (PSR), who have procured a supplier to deliver an independently conducted evaluation of its key policies on Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud - particularly focusing on the reimbursement requirement. This is principally an impact evaluation, though in addition to the analysis of the policies' impacts we require the chosen supplier to provide an independent view on the effectiveness of the policies at achieving their target outcomes. The final analysis and independent view of the policies' effectiveness will be published in the form of a report. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060377-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Sep 2025 | | Contract period | 18 Sep 2025 - 31 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £458,333 | | Lots value | £458,333 | | Awards value | £459,683 | | Contracts value | £459,683 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E20 1JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Stratford Olympic Park | | Westminster constituency | Stratford and Bow | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | FRONTIER ECONOMICS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 66171000 - Financial consultancy services - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79311410 - Economic impact assessment - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 29 Sep 2025 at 09:10 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060377-2025 - 2 Sep 2025 at 16:13 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053326-2025 - 17 Jun 2025 at 08:06 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032792-2025 - 13 Jun 2025 at 15:12 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032384-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060377-2025 29th September 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053326-2025 2nd September 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032792-2025 17th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032384-2025 13th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.fca.org.uk - https://atamis-fca.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://services.atamis.co.uk/docs/Supplier_User_Guide.pdf - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
