Description
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Bank of England (BoE) are procuring a new framework agreement to replace the current Consultancy and Skilled Persons Framework. This will cover Skilled Persons, Consultancy and Multi-Firm Failure and will be broken into multiple Lots. Values stated at a Lot level are a very rough estimate as the use of this framework at this level is very unpredictable.
