B_05.02 — ICT supply chain
Purpose
This template documents the supply chain of ICT services — tracking who subcontracts to whom. It maps the chain of providers involved in delivering a specific ICT service under a contractual arrangement.
Each row represents one link in the supply chain, identifying the provider, the service type, the rank (depth in the chain), and the recipient of the subcontracted service. Rank 1 is the direct provider to the financial entity; rank 2 and above represent subcontractors.
ICT risk management teams use this template to assess concentration risk and understand the full dependency chain for critical services.

Validation Rules
- Arrangement reference must exist in B_02.01. The supply chain must be linked to a valid contractual arrangement.
- Provider must exist in B_05.01. Both the provider and the recipient in the supply chain must be registered in the providers master list.
- Rank must be 1 or greater. Rank 0 is not valid. The direct provider has rank 1, their subcontractor has rank 2, and so on.
- Consistent chain. The recipient of a rank N provider should match the provider of a rank N-1 entry for the same arrangement and service type.
Example

| Provider ID | PROV-002 |
| Provider Code Type | LEI |
| Rank | 2 |
| Recipient ID | PROV-001 |

Common Mistakes
- Rank set to 0. The minimum valid rank is 1. Zero-ranked entries are rejected during validation.
- Referencing providers not in B_05.01. Both the subcontractor (provider) and the entity they subcontract to (recipient) must be registered in the providers master list before being used here.
- Broken chain links. The recipient at one rank level should match the provider at the previous rank level. Gaps in the chain make the supply chain mapping incomplete.
