Global WAN III

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (‘DMFA’) wishes to enter into a contract regarding the implementation, operation, maintenance etc. of a global Wide Area Network (WAN) solution. The scope of the contract is to replace an existing WAN infrastructure and subsequently handle all aspects of operations on the delivered WAN infrastructure.
The delivery must include the following main components:
— Implementation.
— Testing.
— Operation and maintenance, including support.
— Technical support.
— Project management.
— Relevant Courses.
The WAN will cover approximately 90 locations around the world. The approximate distribution of existing WAN connections is as follows: 39 pct. in Europe, 33 pct. in Asia, 14 pct. in North- and South America, and 14 pct. in Africa.
It is important that a tenderer can deliver communication lines on all Danish embassies and consulates worldwide (see http://um.dk/en/about-us/organisation/find-us-abroad for a list of current missions).
The WAN must provide stable and transparent IP communication between the missions and the Ministry in Copenhagen and include Internet access at a number of strategic locations, including the Ministry in Copenhagen.
The bandwidth requirement for the missions is between 8 and 100 Mbps and will in average be about 18 Mbps. The average bandwidth is expected to increase to about 45 Mbps at the end of contract period. The bandwidth for the Ministry will initially be 1 Gbps and will increase to about 2.5 Gbps over the contract period.
DMFA assigns great weight to a WAN solution with low latency in the network. Hence, an offer based on satellite communication (VSAT) will not be preferred.
DMFA will prefer a supplier with global representation, and offices in all regions worldwide. Furthermore it is a requirement that the supplier offers 24/7/365 support for the entire WAN infrastructure.
Subsequent to the implementation of the WAN, DMFA intends to implement an SDWAN infrastructure to handle secure communication between missions. DMFA will be responsible for all aspects of the SDWAN infrastructure.
