IT Engineering Services (DevSecOps) for the “armasuisse W+T” Cyber Defence Campus

The Cyber Defence Campus (CYD Campus) run by armasuisse Science and Technology (W+T) is the Swiss Confederation’s central centre of excellence for cyber research and technology development.

The CYD-Campus has a strategic presence at three locations: Thun (headquarters), Zurich and Lausanne. As part of these activities, numerous basic IT hardware and software services from the in-house IT laboratory are utilised; in addition, project-specific IT components and solutions are developed in-house.

In order to efficiently support this creative and technically demanding process across the various research projects, complex IT engineering services are required which cannot be fully covered by the CYD Campus’s existing internal resources. This procurement is therefore intended to procure additional external services that will provide the internal teams with expert and flexible support on an ad hoc basis.

To procure the required IT engineering services, the procurement is divided into three technically distinct lots. This allows the services to be procured in line with market conditions and grouped according to their subject matter:

· Lot 1: A1 IT Software Development & A4 IT Site Reliability Engineering

· Lot 2: A2 IT Platform Security

· Lot 3: A3 IT Operations & A5 IT Infrastructure

Suppliers may submit tenders for one or more lots.
