## Summary

Fair4All Finance Limited is seeking research and consultancy support to shape its planned Technology Fund. The work is evidence-based analysis of relevant technology trends, gaps in the market and priority themes, to inform how the fund is designed and which areas it prioritises. The fund is intended to accelerate development and adoption of technology-enabled solutions that could improve outcomes for financially underserved and excluded consumers in the UK. This is financial inclusion and fintech research and strategic advisory work, rather than a request to build or supply a technology product. The buyer is Fair4All Finance Limited, based in London. The consultancy will inform a UK-wide fund and its intended impact on consumers across the country.

Fair4All Finance invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition for a single lot of consultancy services. The enquiry deadline was 27 October 2026 at 14:00, and the bid deadline was 4 November 2026 at 14:00. The stated contract period runs from 14 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender value is £50,000 gross; the lot is also recorded with a value of 50,000 AED, so the published figures use different currencies and should not be combined. Evaluation is weighted 80:20 for quality and price. The quality assessment includes experience of similar work, financial inclusion, fintech and strategic investment advice. Suppliers were required to use the In-tend Portal for communications and responses.

This opportunity suits research consultancies and specialist advisers able to analyse technology markets and identify unmet needs relevant to financial inclusion. Strong competitors will bring evidence-based research capability, knowledge of fintech and technology-enabled services, and an understanding of the barriers faced by financially underserved or excluded consumers. Experience advising on strategic investment and prioritising themes or interventions is directly relevant, as is the ability to turn market evidence into practical recommendations for fund design. The buyer's criteria explicitly value similar assignments and expertise in financial inclusion, fintech and strategic investment advice. The work is a focused consultancy assignment over a defined period, rather than a multi-year delivery contract; it is best suited to suppliers able to provide targeted analysis and advice within that scope.»} Williams.JSONArray} 񟟹 青青青lygynyň}

## Notice

The Government's 2025 Financial Inclusion Strategy explicitly commits Fair4All Finance to testing innovative approaches to support financial inclusion in the UK. Aligned to these commitments, Fair4All Finance is developing a new, multi-year cPS5 million Technology Fund ("the Fund"), expected to launch in early 2027. The Fund is designed to accelerate the development and adoption of innovative technology enabled solutions that have the potential to transform outcomes for financially underserved and excluded consumers. Fair4All Finance is seeking external support to help inform the design and prioritisation of the Technology Fund launching in 2027. We are looking for evidence-based analysis of relevant technology trends, market gaps, and priority themes.
