Framework Agreement concerning acquisition of forensic software for computers, mobiles, cloud, vehicles and analysis of cryptocurrency transactions
Description
:
Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science that focuses on identifying, acquiring, processing, analysing and reporting on data stored on electronic devices, e.g. mobiles and computers. The majority of police investigations include analysis of digital evidence due to the societal digitalisation and subsequent increase in electronic devices. Sound digital forensics tools are crucial to law enforcement organisations and ensure that the Danish Police can not only continuously conduct but also strengthen the investigation of digital evidence. For this purpose the contracting authority intends to enter into a framework agreement concerning delivery of a variety of software to perform digital forensic examinations including services (e.g. training in the use of the forensic software) and any subsequent amendments hereof within the scope of the agreement. The forensic tools perform tasks related to digital forensic examinations within one or more of the following categories: I. Computer forensics II. Mobile forensics III. Cloud forensics IV. Vehicle forensics V. Analysis of cryptocurrency transactions The software for categories I-IV include the possibility of conducting one or more of the following processes: a) Data acquisition A systematic and carefully controlled process aimed at capturing and preserving digital evidence in a manner that maintains its integrity and authenticity without altering the original evidence. b) Data processing Transforms raw data into useful information to ensure a forensically sound output as well as examining file systems to recover deleted files, analyse metadata, and construct timelines. c) Data analysis Enables the investigator to search and filter the acquired, processed data in order to analyse findings (e.g. identify source). d) Data presentation Enables presentation of information and data in a graphical user interface in order to provide an accessible way to see and understand trends, outliers, and patterns in data. e) Data export Enables export of data for local review by the examiner including the possibility of converting the data into a specific format that can be easily exported. The software for category V include the possibility of conducting one or more of the following processes: a) Analysis of cryptocurrency transactions Linking cryptocurrency transactions in the relevant blockchain to real entities. Enables filtering on different parameters (e.g. entities or transactions) as well as currency and cluster identification. b) Data presentation Enables presentation of information and data in a graphical user interface in order to provide an accessible way to see and understand trends, outliers, and patterns in data. c) Data export Enables export of data (both graphics and raw transactions data e.g. .cvs files) for local review by the examiner. d) Identification of services Enables identification of services such as exchanges, darknet markets, mixers, and bridges. e) Monitoring Preforming real-time, on-chain monitoring of suspicious entities in order to identify fraudulent entities and mixer services. The framework agreement as a whole will be awarded to one tenderer that will deliver a variety of digital forensic software to the Danish police and thereby be gaining considerable knowledge of the Danish police's digital forensics capabilities and needs. As part of fulfilling the framework agreement the supplier will be obliged to assist the contracting authority in the strategic considerations regarding the Danish police's development of the portfolio of digital forensic software. The contracting authority is not obliged to buy any minimum quantity of the products comprised by the framework agreement. The framework agreement is not exclusive, thus, it does not limit the contracting authority’s right to purchase similar software or services from other suppliers.

Please note, that the tender process is in English and that both the application regarding prequalification and tender must be submitted in English. Please note, that the expected value of the framework agreement is an estimate of the expected purchases of software and services provided during the maximum duration of the agreement (84 months). However, both parties will have the opportunity to exit the agreement after the first 48 months. The estimated value is based on historical spend compared to the contracting authority’s expectations regarding the development in use, needs and prices. Furthermore, please note, that the maximum value is based on the fact that there are a number of uncertainties within the maximum duration of the framework agreement, including that the Danish police, as a politically controlled organization, may be subject to political decisions regarding the use of forensic software. Furthermore, the criminal landscape may develop in a way that significantly impacts the need for forensic software. Additionally, there is the possibility that new critical tools will be developed that the Danish police will need to add to the portfolio of digital forensic software. Please note, that a candidate may rely on the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional capacity of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links with the entities. If a candidate relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities, the candidate and those entities shall be jointly liable for the implementation of the framework agreement. The entities that the candidate relies on must declare in the application that they are jointly responsible with the candidate if the framework agreement is awarded to them. A template for such a declaration from the supporting entity is included in the prequalification questionnaire referred to above. Please note, that the contracting authority may at any time during the procurement process require applicants or tenderers to provide further documentation for the information stated in the application in relation to the provisions regarding economic and financial standing as well as technical and/or professional capacity in this Contract Notice Please note, that each candidate can only submit one request for participation. If the same legal entity is a part of or in any other way participates in several applications, e.g. submits his own application and at the same time participates in a consortium which also applies, the candidates shall ensure that the same legal entity’s participation does not provide for opportunity for mutual coordination of their applications and offers. The contracting authority reserves the right to request the candidates to establish and reassure that the same legal entity’s participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the tenderers. Please note, that the procurement is subject to Regulation 2022/576 regarding the 5th sanctions package, article 5k.

Name
:
Deliveries (references)
Description
:
The candidate must submit the following documentation regarding the candidate's technical and/or professional ability: A list of the two (2) most comparable deliveries (references), cf. the description of the procurement, that the candidate has carried out in the latest 5 years before the expiry of the deadline for application. Preferably, for each reference the list should include: - A clear and detailed description of the delivery, including whether it concerns a framework agreement/ongoing deliveries over a given period of time, or if it is a one-time delivery. - The recipient of the delivery (if possible and preferably including contact information) - The value (preferably in DKK) and the volume/quantity of the delivery - Period of time (if relevant, please state both start date and end date) - The candidate’s role in the performance of the delivery The contracting authority reserves the right to contact the recipient in order to validate the information about the delivery. The candidate may include no more than two (2) deliveries in the list regardless of the candidate being a consortium or relying on other entities technical and/or professional ability. If the list includes more than two (2) deliveries, the contracting authority will only consider the two (2) most recent deliveries when assessing the candidate’s technical and/or professional ability. Only deliveries performed within the last five (5) years will be taken into consideration when assessing the candidate’s technical and/or professional ability. Consequently, if a part of the delivery has not been carried out within the past five (5) years, or if a part of the delivery has not been completed at the time limit for receipt of the request to participate, this particular part will not be included in the assessment of the delivery. Therefore, it is important that the candidate clearly states which part (e.g. value, quantity or volume etc.) of an ongoing delivery that has been carried out within the past five (5) years. The candidates are encouraged to submit the list in the template provided by the contracting authority. Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates: The limitation of candidates will be based on an evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant previous deliveries in comparison to the framework agreement/purchases in the description of the procurement. In the evaluation, it will also be emphasized whether the references document deliveries to authorities within the EU, particularly law enforcement agencies, as well as to what extent the deliveries are comparable in terms of quantity and/or value. The evaluation will be based on the list of deliveries (references) provided by the candidate. Please note, that any unclear information in the application may be assigned negative weight in the relevance assessment. Furthermore, please note, that the contracting authority will choose five (5) candidates, unless fewer compliant applications are received. In such case the contracting authority reserves the right to invite the number of compliant applicants to submit their tenders.
