Norway – Telecommunications services – Central Internet reception and Ddos protection

Description

PURPOSE AND NEED PURPOSE Norsk Tipping would like to enter into a contract with a tenderer for the provision of high performance internet reception and security services connected to this. NEEDS THAT SHALL BE MET Norsk Tipping currently has a high-performance internet reception with infrastructure provided by both Telia and Telenor. The contract with Telenor expires in 2026 and the procurement is therefore re-announced. Norsk Tipping shall continue to have a minimum of two independent suppliers with independent infrastructure. Telenor ́s lines and infrastructure will be subject to competitive tendering in this competition. This means that the agreement with Telia/Eidsiva Digital is planned for competitive tendering in 2027. Norsk Tipping AS (AS202230) currently has the status of LIR (Local Internet Registry) and has its own official IP addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6. The primary need is for the delivery of internet transit with close to 100% uptime, with two accesses in two conducive paths and capacity of up to 100 Gbps per access. Flexibility connected to capacity needs and full control of the entire delivery chain – especially in the backbone – is a central requirement. Professional DDoS protection shall be included as a part of the service in order to ensure stability and operational security. Migration must be able to be carried out upstream in the supplier ́s network, before traffic reaches Norsk Tipping ́s access lines, in order to ensure almost 100% availability and sufficient capacity during attack. Close cooperation between the tenderer's SOC and Norsk Tipping's SCO/operations centre is important in order to ensure good control over both automatic and manual security measures. The contract will be valid for four (4) years, with an option for an extension for a further 1+1+1+1 year. The total possible contract period is therefore eight (8) years. All documents in this competition are only available in Norwegian.
