## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority bought procurement consultancy services to support its procurement function with ongoing artificial-intelligence proof-of-concept work and potential system re-tenders. The requirement covers advisory and delivery support for AI proof of concepts, together with procurement support for re-tendering systems. The buyer is the Financial Conduct Authority, a central government public authority based in London. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement was organised as a single service requirement and relates to procurement consultancy under CPV 79418000. This is relevant to consultancies that combine public procurement expertise with practical experience supporting AI proof-of-concept activity and technology or systems re-tenders. It may also suit firms able to advise a regulated public-sector organisation on procurement activity involving emerging technology and system replacement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure below the applicable threshold, with the award made under a framework; the process was non-competitive. B2E Consulting Solutions Ltd was awarded the single requirement on 3 August 2026. The award and signed contract value is £154,275 excluding VAT, or £185,130 including VAT. The award contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, while the signed contract records a period from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026, and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the framework award route. It was below threshold and was not divided into multiple awarded lots.

This award indicates a defined FCA requirement for specialist procurement consultancy at the intersection of artificial intelligence, systems and public-sector commercial activity. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable capability in supporting AI proof-of-concept projects through procurement, assessing or shaping procurement routes for technology, and managing or advising on system re-tenders. Experience of procurement within a regulated or central-government environment would be relevant, particularly where work requires clear governance, defensible commercial decisions and understanding of public procurement rules. Suppliers should also be able to provide experienced consultants who can support an ongoing procurement function rather than only a one-off advice assignment. The route used here shows that access to the relevant framework and the ability to secure a framework-based award are commercially important for this buyer.
