Delivery and maintenance of a Forensic IT solution for the handling of electronic data

The Competition and Consumer Authority

The Danish Competition and Consumer Authority manages the control investigations of Danish undertakings, cf. Section 18 (4) of the Danish Competition Act. While carrying out the control investigations electronic data is seized from the IT system of the undertaking in question for subsequent review and analysis. The seized electronic data may be of a quite significant size. After having carried out a control investigation the Competition and Consumer Authority will have 25 days to review the data and identify the files which are deemed necessary to either confirm or dismiss the Authority's assumption of a violation of the Competition Act. This phase is described as the subsequent processing and takes place in the Authority's Forensic IT Laboratory (FIT Lab). For the use hereof the Competition and Consumer Authority intends to purchase an IT system to support the handling of the seized data in connection with the control investigations as part of the review and analysis of the seized data.
The contract put out for tender comprises the purchase and implementation of an IT system which in relation to the Authority's handling of seized electronic data after a control investigation will support a quick and credible review of the matters and ensure that evidence of a possible violation of the Competition Act is secured. The IT system must functionally support the principles of Forensic IT and thereby ensure that the files handled by the system will maintain their origin and authenticity so that the HASH-value, contents and metadata are identical with the corresponding original data in the undertaking from which the copy was seized and loaded to the system. For the use of the subsequent processing phase the IT system must have the capacity to process, index and analyse very large amounts of data as well as document these in order for the data to be used as evidence in court.
For the purchase and implementation of the IT system as described above in relation to necessary software and, if relevant, hardware, the contract also comprises maintenance and necessary further development and adjustment of the IT system to ensure the system's continued use and availability. Maintenance and further development must be supplied in a four year period after the delivery and implementation of the IT system with the option of two extention periods, each by one year.
The operation of the IT system will be performed by the Competition and Consumer Authority or by a third party on behalf of the Competition and Consumer Authority.
