## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority bought an agile data team to support its work improving financial supervision through better use of entity and regulatory data. The team comprises a Data Lead managing three Data Analysts. Its work supports the FCA’s testing programme for a new data collection for funds: presenting test data to fund supervisors, for example through a dashboard, gathering their feedback and acting on it. This may involve redesigning the dashboard or identifying data gaps that need fixing. The purpose is to help supervisors draw actionable insights from the collected data, identify risks, prioritise interventions and monitor firms. This is data-focused business and management consultancy, with delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ernst & Young LLP on 12 October 2026. The award value is £290,000 excluding VAT (£348,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 28 October 2026 to 26 February 2027, with a stated three-month extension option and a maximum extent date of 25 May 2027. The competition was selective and the contract was awarded under a framework. It was a single lot, and the process was competitive. The work was evaluated through the procurement process; the published details do not set out the award criteria. The award is active, and a contract signature milestone was scheduled for 23 October 2026.

For suppliers tracking the FCA’s demand for data-led supervisory support, this award shows a requirement for a coordinated team rather than a single specialist: a Data Lead able to manage three Data Analysts. Credible delivery calls for the ability to work with entity, regulatory and funds data, turn test data into useful presentations such as dashboards, and engage supervisors to gather and act on feedback. Suppliers would also need to connect that work to practical outcomes: identifying data gaps, improving analytical tools, helping supervisors identify risks, prioritise interventions and monitor firms. The buyer used a competitive award under a framework, so relevant framework access and the capacity to supply a managed, agile team are commercially pertinent. The work is specifically tied to FCA financial supervision, not general-purpose dashboard development.

## Notice

These roles form an agile team, with the Data Lead managing the three Data Analysts. The team supports the objective of enhancing supervisory effectiveness through better use of entity and regulatory data -- transforming how Supervision teams identify risks, prioritise interventions and monitor firms through data. The FCA is running a testing programme of a new data collection for funds. We want to know whether the data we're collecting enables fund supervisors to draw actionable insights. To do this, we need to present the test data to them (e.g. In a dashboard), collect their feedback, and act on it; this could mean redesigning the dashboard, or identifying a data gap that should be fixed.
