Lot Information
Lot 1
These new high grade cryptographic devices will be installed in data centres across the FCDO estate, including UK sites and secure zones in a number of diplomatic missions overseas.
Procurement Information
FCDO requires delivery of the devices by 5 April 2022 to facilitate system integration work and initial overseas deployment by the end of 2022, with the bulk of the overseas roll out being completed in 2023. On delivery to FCDO, the high grade cryptographic devices must: - meet TEMPEST standard SDIP-27 Level A; - be assured by NCSC; - be fully CAPS certified; and - comply with the latest strategic standard for encrypted IP communications(PRIME) using the UK Suite A algorithm. It is FCDO's understanding that Airbus Defence and Space Limited are the only supplier able to meet all requirements listed above and positioned to meet the required delivery date. FCDO therefore intends to utilise the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication, specifically regulation 32.2.b.ii of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, in the award of this contract. FCDO issued an F15: Voluntary ex ante transparency notice on 17 December 2021 (#2021/S 000-031655) detailing the above.
