## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority intends to procure a synthetic data capability service. The work is intended to create an internal capability covering discovery, validation, synthetic data generation, privacy evaluation, governance design, pilot delivery and knowledge transfer. This is a data-processing services requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The supplier’s role would span the development and practical introduction of synthetic data methods, alongside the privacy, governance and organisational arrangements needed to use them responsibly. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations combining synthetic data expertise with privacy assessment, data governance, delivery of pilots and the ability to transfer knowledge to an internal FCA team. It may suit a specialist consultancy, technology provider or consortium able to cover the full capability-building scope.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the FCA has announced an intention to buy and has not invited tenders. The expected procedure is a tender for services, with a single lot currently planned. The estimated total value is £500,000 gross. The planned contract period is 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030. The buyer expects the next notice to be published by 2 November 2026. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled to run until 12 October 2026, covering the proposed scope and helping shape the future tender. The requirement is above the relevant threshold. Businesses should treat the dates as the buyer’s indicative expectations rather than tender deadlines; the procurement is not yet at the bidding stage.

The work is likely to suit suppliers with established capability in synthetic data discovery, validation and generation, supported by rigorous privacy evaluation. Experience designing data governance arrangements will be important, as will the ability to plan and deliver a practical pilot rather than provide only advisory work. The requirement also favours organisations that can develop an internal capability within a public-sector regulator and transfer knowledge effectively to its staff. Suppliers should be prepared to combine technical data-processing expertise with privacy, governance and implementation skills across the full service scope. Organisations that can provide this breadth directly, or assemble it through suitable delivery partners, are likely to be well placed when the requirement reaches the market.
