## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) bought leadership development services. The requirement is described broadly as leadership development; the published scope does not set out specific programmes, participant numbers or delivery methods. The service was classified under a code associated with public relations consultancy, but the stated purpose is leadership development rather than a separately described communications or PR assignment. Delivery is recorded as being in the United Kingdom, without a more specific location. This is a single-service requirement managed by the FCA. It may be relevant to leadership development consultancies and providers able to work with a UK public authority, particularly those whose offering can address organisational leadership needs. The award identifies Manchester Square Partners LLP as the supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Manchester Square Partners LLP. The FCA used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the process was not divided into multiple lots. The contract was signed on 25 February 2026 and runs from 2 March to 31 December 2026. Its value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The available process information does not state an award date or an evaluation basis, so the selected supplier’s appointment is reported as the outcome rather than attributed to particular scoring criteria. This was a completed procurement for leadership development services, not a competitive exercise with published bids or a stated comparison of suppliers.

For leadership development providers, this award is evidence that the FCA has bought specialist external support for leadership development at a modest, focused contract scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need a relevant leadership development offer and the capacity to deliver services for a UK financial regulator. The procurement route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so this example does not demonstrate an open competitive evaluation or reveal what credentials, methodology or past performance the FCA preferred. The scope is described only at a high level; suppliers whose core work is leadership development are more closely aligned than firms offering public relations consultancy alone. Manchester Square Partners LLP is the selected supplier for this contract.
