Independent Expert Assessment of Financial Regulation's Economic Value

This procurement seeks an independent expert or consultancy firm to conduct a comprehensive economic valuation study. The assignment requires estimating the economic value generated by Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulatory activities and measuring the total value of the regulatory framework. The analysis will compare actual regulatory outcomes against a counterfactual scenario where no regulator exists and financial services are governed solely by industry self-regulation standards. The study should provide evidence-based insights into the costs and benefits of financial regulation, including impacts on market stability, consumer protection, systemic risk reduction, and economic efficiency. Prospective suppliers should have demonstrated expertise in financial economics, regulatory impact assessment, and counterfactual economic modeling.
