    Brief

    The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is seeking qualitative research services to support consultation CP25-39 on adapting regulatory requirements for the evolving pensions market. This research will focus on non-advised defined contribution pension transfers, examining current practices, stakeholder experiences, and market trends. The findings will inform the FCA's policy development regarding how pension transfer processes should be regulated in a changing market environment. Suppliers should have experience conducting qualitative research in financial services, particularly in pensions regulation and consumer behavior analysis.
