The FCA is establishing a bond consolidated tape (CT) to ensure that data is accessible in a cost-effective way.
A bond CT collates data on transactions, such as prices and volumes, bringing together data on trades executed on trading venues as well as those arranged over-the-counter.
We are starting the process of appointing a bond CT provider. On 3 December 2024 we published a Concession Notice[2] setting out our next steps for running the tender process.
By 31 January 2025, we will publish draft tender documents on the FCA’s procurement portal and invite questions from bidders before we issue final tender documents.
