FCC is committed to having risk management policies, processes and practices that are in line with the risks it undertakes and consistent with other financial institutions. A key part of that commitment is risk technology and data management, which are vital to enhancing FCC’s risk maturity. In June, FCC released an RFP to procure technologies (software, hardware, methodologies for software or hardware setup/configuration, etc.) to support the risk infrastructure and data management improvement necessary to meet FCC’s risk management needs.

This RFP for Services is being released to enable the design, development, implementation and testing of the selected technologies. The RFP respondents are expected to propose resources which will provide the requested services to support the chosen risk management solution.

This is a request for services only. FCC may, at its sole discretion, elect not to accept any submission for any reason. FCC is not obligated to proceed and may cancel this RFP at any time.
