## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is seeking a Data Mapping tool as part of a tender process launched on 20th April 2021, with the contract having an initial term of two years and an option to extend for an additional year. The procurement process was initiated as a limited method, following previous unsuccessful open procedures. This procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically related to database and operating software packages (CPV code: 48600000), and aims to support FCA's data integration and mapping requirements across various critical data models. The delivery of services is expected to take place in the United Kingdom.

This opportunity represents significant potential for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those focused on software development, database management, and consulting. Companies capable of delivering scalable data integration tools that can handle complex models, are well-positioned to compete. The work is suited for medium to large-sized enterprises that can demonstrate the expertise required for developing robust data mapping solutions compliant with FCA's operational standards.

## Notice

The FCA is establishing a contractual mechanism to support its Data Mapping requirements for a period of two years with the option to extend for an additional year. A Data Mapping tool is required by the FCA for the integration of data models. The models that are to be mapped include: Entity-relationship diagrams for working IT systems, Reference models (no underlying IT systems) both internal to the FCA and with external stakeholder organizations Models of interfaces with services Models of dataset definitions The tool should be able to deal with large scale models. The smallest model to be mapped is expected be a dataset definition composed of a single object with circa 50 attributes. The largest model to be mapped is expected to be composed of circa 500 entities where each entity could have up to around 650 attributes. Similarly, the tool should be able to scale in terms of the number of models it can handle.
