## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), a central government public authority based in London, has completed the procurement process for the "LSEG Data Access" contract, involving the provision of financial, economic, and market data services. The services are to be delivered in a manner that is interoperable with the FCA's technical architecture. The contract, awarded on a direct basis for reasons of technical exclusivity and resilience to Refinitiv Limited, commenced on 1st July 2026 and is set to run until 30th June 2033. The procurement, with an active status as of the latest update on 22nd July 2026, falls under the services industry category, specifically data services, and involves a substantial gross contract value of over £19 million.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in financial data provisioning, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive datasets and analytical capabilities that are highly interoperable with existing technical frameworks. While the direct award to Refinitiv limits immediate contracting opportunities, businesses can draw insights into the FCA's criteria for supplier assessments, which emphasise continuity and technical interoperability. Organisations looking to expand their market data solutions offerings may find opportunities in engaging with FCA's future procurement activities, such as their ongoing market engagement aimed at understanding supplier capabilities for potential future opportunities.

### Procurement Information

The FCA undertook a market assessment of available providers against its requirement for financial, economic, market and reference data services, associated analytical capabilities, and delivery methods interoperable with the FCA's existing technical architecture and workflows. Whilst alternative suppliers offer overlapping functionality, the FCA identified no reasonable alternative capable of providing the required combination of datasets, analytical capabilities, interoperability, and continuity of service. The FCA's assessment concluded that only Refinitiv can meet the requirement in full. The FCA further concluded that migrating all or part of the requirement to an alternative provider would require significant migration, integration, and operational change, resulting in material disruption to established workflows and technical architecture. Accordingly, the FCA considers that, for technical and resilience reasons, no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and that a direct award to Refinitiv is justified.
