Provider services for the locations of the Federal Foreign Office abroad Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated
The Federal Foreign Office (AA) operates around 225 missions abroad. A secure and reliable telecommunications connection on site is essential for carrying out central tasks of foreign affairs there. For this purpose, the AA purchases provider services on the market. The current contract for provider services ends in 2026 and must be re-tendered. In addition to a pure security of supply of the foreign locations, the new provider must take over the planning, implementation and maintenance of a wide area network (WAN) for the AA. The focus of the order is the provision of a reliable, secure and scalable network infrastructure that extends across all locations and ensures a high quality of service to them and thus ensures worldwide communication. The challenge here is to ensure communication coverage even at locations with specific characteristics, such as remote countries and crisis regions, where the AA still maintains its location and thus communication must be maintained. In view of the growing requirements for networking and data transmission between the sites of the AA, the implementation of a powerful WAN is necessary in order to optimize business processes and increase efficiency, preferably via fully automatic systems without high service costs on site. The network infrastructure must also be stable, resilient and efficient in times of crisis, where technically possible. In order to achieve the listed features optimally, all currently available technologies should be able to be used for the implementation of a large part of the properties (openness to technology). In individual cases, the connection takes place exclusively via satellite. The contract should also offer flexibility with regard to future developments and changes in the requirements for the connections. This applies in particular to the quality of the supply (bandwidths, SLAs depending on location and demand) as well as service quality and support. As a first step, all interested companies will be invited to an information meeting in which they will be informed about the main priorities of the contract and explain the planned procedure. If interested, the company must complete, sign and return the documents made available on the website http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/tenders by e-mail to the specified contact address (einkaufsteam3@bfaa.bund.de). The documents relating to the expression of interest procedure are made available free of charge on the website of the Federal Foreign Office. A download of the documents is possible without registration. The information date is expected to be in the 49th/50th. KW 2024 will take place.
