Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority has recently completed a public procurement process for the project titled "Tape Library Expansion", which involves the procurement of ICT hardware for the expansion unit of an IBM Tape Library. This procurement, categorised under IT services, is based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, calling off from an existing framework agreement.
