### Lot Information

Lot 1

The FCA is inviting applications from interested parties to tender for a contract for a single provider to offer the UK bond consolidated tape (CT). The successful applicant will, once authorised by the FCA, aggregate post-trade data for bond transactions on UK venues and reported via APAs and distribute this as a real-time continuous data feed and as a corrected historical account of trades since the CT's inception to a variety of users. The contract for providing the UK bond CT will be awarded to the successful applicant from this tender process, once they have been authorised, for a fixed five-year term, commencing from a date to be determined by the FCA. The FCA may also identify a reserved concessionaire who may be awarded the contract if the successful applicant has failed to be authorised. 

The FCA Handbook requirements applying to a CTP are set out in Chapter 9 of the Market Conduct (MAR) Sourcebook and Chapter 15A of the Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls (SYSC) Sourcebook. The policy documents related to the development of those rules were Consultation Paper 23/14, Consultation Paper 23/33 and Handbook Notice 117. 

Based on our cost-benefit analysis estimates, we estimate that the cost of establishing and running a CTP may be approximately PS29,500,000 (excluding VAT) over the 5-year contract, reflected in the estimated total value below. The actual revenues of the CTP will vary based on market demand for the CT.
