Tenders are invited for Supply and maintenance of 111 hardware security modules (HSM)
Question 1 : Paragraph “I.21. Warranty": you mention that the requested warranty period is 5 years for all equipment, but in paragraph "II.5 Expected services" you request a maintenance service as well as the annual cost. Do we have to understand that the warranty period is 5 years and after this period the support and maintenance contract with the affiliated banks begins?
Answer to question 1 : The maintenance contract is annual and begins at the end of the equipment warranty period.
Question 2 : The cost of the HSMs differs according to the performances requested (20, 50, 100 and 300). However, in appendix I you ask for a total cost of the 111 HSMs without any breakdown by performance.
Answer question 2 : The tenderer has the latitude to propose a price offer according to a percentage of distribution. In this respect, he must indicate the price of the equipment according to each performance requested
Question 3 : Paragraph I.15.3. Technical offer”, should the references requested in the number of three services be only in the WAEMU zone or can other references in Africa be cited.
Answer to question 3 : The WAEMU zone was chosen as a priority. However, similar missions outside WAEMU can be listed.
Question 4 : Could you please tell us which application(s) the HSM will interface with?
Answer to question 4 : The content of the ToRs, in particular the “requirement in terms of protocol”, makes it possible to respond to the concern raised.
Question 5 : Could you please specify the distribution of the number of HSMs according to the requested performances (20, 50, 100, 300 tps) between the 111 quantities? This strongly impacts the costing, so it is important to have a breakdown of the 111 Modules according to performance for each site.
Answer question 5 : The tenderer has the latitude to propose a price offer according to a percentage of distribution. He will make sure to indicate the price of the equipment according to each performance requested
NB: The deadline for submitting submissions initially set for August 25, 2023 is postponed to September 15, 2023 at 12:00 noon UT, strict deadline.
