## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority procured employee-relations resource support to provide additional capacity and maintain continuity of employee-relations delivery. This is a professional services requirement, classified as business and management consultancy services (CPV 79410000). The work is for the FCA, a UK central government public authority, and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement was organised as a single service package. It concerns specialist support for the FCA’s employee-relations function rather than the supply of goods, construction or general facilities services. Businesses operating in employee-relations advisory, HR consultancy or related management consultancy may find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can provide additional people and expertise to support continuity of delivery.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The FCA used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Eversheds Sutherland International LLP was selected as the supplier for the employee-relations resource-support service. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £67,660 excluding VAT, or £81,192 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the process comprised one completed lot. The recorded outcome identifies one supplier and one contract for the requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for short-term additional capacity in employee relations, delivered through a consultancy-style service. A future competitor would need credible employee-relations capability, with advisers able to contribute quickly to an existing public-sector function and help maintain continuity during periods of increased demand or limited internal capacity. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established HR, employment-law or management-consultancy businesses with the depth to provide suitably experienced personnel and manage delivery for a regulated public authority. The awarded supplier is a large organisation, indicating that scale and the ability to mobilise resource may be commercially relevant. Businesses tracking FCA requirements should use this procurement as evidence of a focused need for specialist ER support.
