    Brief

    This is a call-off contract opportunity for media strategy, planning, and buying services for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The contract will be awarded to Wavemaker Ltd through Lot 1 of the Media and Creative Services Framework Agreement (RM6364). This award is being made without a new competitive process, as permitted under the Procurement Act 2023, because the RM6364 Framework was established through a compliant competitive procurement. The framework is managed by GCA (formerly CCS) and includes robust oversight mechanisms such as quarterly financial audits, annual price and performance reviews, and bi-annual customer satisfaction surveys. If you are interested in similar opportunities, you may wish to monitor future framework calls or consider participating in subsequent competitive framework reviews.
