## Summary

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. The tender period concluded on 19th October 2020, while the contract, with a total value of £200,000, took effect from 18th November 2020 and is set to end on 17th November 2021.

This completed tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in ICT hardware and services, particularly those suitable for engaging with regulatory bodies like the Financial Conduct Authority. Large-scale organisations with experience in similar expansions, as well as SMEs looking to demonstrate capacity in government contracts, could potentially benefit from engaging in future procurement processes similar to this one. The collaboration with established suppliers can also facilitate growth opportunities within this competitive market.
