## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority procured data scientist services for work delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a data scientist, with the associated classification describing business and management consultancy services. It sits within the services category and was arranged as a single requirement. The buying organisation is the Financial Conduct Authority, a public authority and public undertaking based at 12 Endeavour Square, London. The work therefore concerns specialist analytical and consultancy support for the FCA rather than the supply of software, equipment or construction. Businesses providing data science services, particularly where these are delivered as professional consultancy support to a central government or regulatory body, are the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a competitive selection under a framework agreement. The single lot was awarded to PA Consulting Services Limited, trading in the award data as PA Consulting Services Ltd. The award date was 24 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. Its value is £306,000 excluding VAT and £367,200 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027, with an option to extend for a further six months until 31 August 2027; the extension value is included in the published contract value. The awarded requirement was above the applicable threshold.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for data scientist services supplied through a competitive framework call-off. A competitor seeking similar work would need to provide credible data science capability within a business and management consultancy setting, and be able to operate under the relevant framework route. The requirement was awarded to a large consultancy, indicating that the successful supplier had the organisational capacity to deliver specialist professional services to a UK regulatory buyer. Firms with established data science teams, consultancy delivery arrangements and experience supporting public authorities or regulated organisations would be well placed to assess comparable FCA requirements when this type of service returns to market.
