## Summary

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme Limited (FSCS), a sub-central government public authority based in London, has completed a procurement process for an "Independent Board Evaluation". This procurement, associated with FSCS555, was conducted under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The buyer employed a direct procurement method below threshold, without competition, primarily for services related to business and management consultancy. The award was made to Manchester Square Partners LLP, a London-based SME. The contract, valued at £72,000, covers the period from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026, reinforcing compliance with the Corporate Governance Code's three-year evaluation requirement.

This tender process offers significant opportunities for consultancies, particularly those specialising in business and management advisory services. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in such evaluations may find similar opportunities attractive, as the need for external board evaluations remains consistent within organisations adhering to corporate governance mandates. By engaging in such contracts, businesses can potentially strengthen their presence in the public sector consultation market, particularly within the United Kingdom. Businesses with a focus on governance, risk management, and organisational assessment would be well-positioned to pursue future contracts of this nature.

## Notice

FSCS is seeking to appoint a Provider to undertake an external Board evaluation. Following the Corporate Governance Code this exercise must be done every three years and reported in the annual report and accounts.
