Tender open: Financial Conduct Authority Insolvency Practitioner Panel
IPA Insolvency Practitioner newsletter, January 2026
In certain circumstances, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) may seek to exercise its powers to apply to the court to appoint an Insolvency Practitioner (IP) over an authorised firm, or to replace an incumbent IP with a new IP.
The FCA is seeking to establish a panel of firms which can provide IPs with the requisite skills and experience to take on these appointments. The panel term will be four years. Firms will not receive any payments from FCA funds, nor will there be contracts between the FCA and panel firms. The enquiry deadline is 12pm on 22 January 2026, and the tender submission deadline is 12pm on 5 February 2026.
