Supply and Deployment of ICT Infrastructure for the SLIM Project

Tender summary

This public contract will be implemented as part of the SLIM (Sustainable Landscape through Integrated Management) Project, which is being implemented by the Czech Development Agency from October 2023 to September 2027 and co-financed by the European Union and Sweden. Its aim is to introduce an integrated landscape management (ILM) approach and contribute to increasing the resilience of ecosystems and preserving biodiversity in Zambia using freely accessible satellite data in areas such as forestry, agriculture, water management, and environmental protection, including predicting and mitigating the destructive effects of natural disasters. This contract will specifically contribute to the implementation of the SLIM project activity entitled "Provision of adequate technological capacities, tools, data access, and geospatial data storage infrastructure for the crucial data domains." The subject of this contract is the supply, installation, and commissioning of ICT infrastructure and equipment required to support the SLIM project in Zambia. The contract will deliver the hardware infrastructure necessary for geospatial data storage, processing, and access across participating government institutions, together with the related installation, configuration, testing, training, and handover services. A central component of the contract is the deployment of two server environments supporting geospatial data management. The first server solution will be installed at the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) and will support a centralized GIS platform based on the ArcGIS Enterprise ecosystem for the storage, management, analysis, and publication of satellite imagery and other environmental datasets. The second server solution will be delivered to the Forestry Department and will support an open-source GIS platform built on PostgreSQL/PostGIS, MapServer, and QGIS technologies, enabling internal forestry data management and web-based geospatial services. In addition to the server infrastructure, the contract includes the supply of end-user computing equipment and large-format devices required for geospatial analysis and operational use. This includes laptops, desktop computers, specialized workstations, A0 scanners, and an A0 plotter distributed among several participating institutions. The contract also covers installation and configuration of all equipment, implementation of baseline security settings, system testing, training of administrators and end users, and final commissioning and handover to the beneficiary institutions.
