Titel: Remote Qualified Signature Creation Device (rQSCD)
Beschreibung: The Danish Agency for Digital Government (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen) operates on behalf of the Danish State a national qualified trust service for the management of remote qualified electronic signature creation devices under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 (eIDAS2). As part of modernising the signing service to meet the requirements of eIDAS2, the Agency is procuring a Remote Qualified Signature Creation Device (rQSCD) — a certified combination of Hardware and Standard Software — to be installed and operated within the Agency's data centers (currently two). The Contract includes an Option to upgrade the throughput capacity of the rQSCD and an Option to extend the deployment to a third data centre. The Contract covers the Initial Delivery of the certified rQSCD, comprising certified HSM devices (Hardware) and the associated Signature Activation Module software (Standard Software), certified as a composite in accordance with eIDAS2. The Initial Delivery includes all Licences, Documentation, and support necessary for the Agency to install and operate the rQSCD as part of its qualified remote signing service. The rQSCD must integrate with the Agency's existing signing infrastructure, including the Agency's certificate authority, authorisation server, and signing components. The Supplier's principal obligations comprise: (a) the Initial Delivery of Hardware and Standard Software, sized and configured for operation across two data centres in an active/active configuration with a minimum throughput of 16 signatures per second, together with deployment in the Agency's production, staging, and test environments; (b) Ongoing Services, including support and maintenance of the Standard Software and Hardware, security patching, and up to two replacements of Hardware during the contract term to maintain valid certifications; and (c) Ordered Services, comprising Time-Based Services (services for installation, configuration, key ceremonies, and similar tasks) and Options and (d) Cross-cutting Services, comprising Documentation and security, provided as an integral part of the Ongoing Services and Ordered Services throughout the term of the Contract. The contract term is 120 months. The service supports the national qualified signing volume — estimated at 5,100,000 signatures per year across two data centres — and the procured capacity is dimensioned to provide headroom above current demand for growth, peak load, and resilience.

Zusätzliche Informationen: Participation in the procurement procedure can only take place electronically via the electronic procurement system used by the Contracting Authority. In order to gain access to the procurement documents, the applicant must be registered or register as a user. If the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version shall prevail. All communication in connection with the procurement procedure, including questions and answers, shall take place via the electronic procurement system. For information regarding questions and answers, reference is made to the Tender Conditions and Appendix B. Interested parties are requested to keep themselves informed via the electronic procurement system. If the applicant experiences problems with the system, support can be contacted via ETHICS Customer Service Denmark or by telephone (+45) 6313 3700. The application and the tender must be submitted in English. The applicant shall submit an ESPD together with its application as preliminary evidence of the circumstances referred to in Section 148(1)(1)-(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. The applicant is not required to sign its ESPD document. In the event of a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD shall be submitted for each participating economic operator. If the applicant is a group of economic operators, each participant’s ESPD document shall be signed by the respective participant. The lead applicant submitting the application is not required to sign its ESPD document. If the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities, an ESPD shall be submitted for each of the entities on whose capacities the applicant relies, and the ESPD document shall be signed by the supporting entity. The applicant may rely on the technical and/or financial capacity of other entities in order to fulfil the suitability requirements, cf. sections III.1.2) and III.1.3), including for the purpose of selection, cf. section II.2.9). The entity or entities making their technical and/or financial capacity available shall sign a commitment undertaking.

The applicant will be excluded from participation in the procurement procedure if the applicant is subject to the mandatory exclusion grounds set out in Sections 134a, 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, unless the applicant has provided sufficient documentation demonstrating that it is reliable pursuant to Section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. Prior to the contract award decision, the tenderer whom the Contracting Authority intends to award the contract to shall provide documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD in accordance with Sections 151-152 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. Section 153. As an alternative to the documentation referred to in Sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the tenderer may submit to the Contracting Authority a certificate of registration on an official list of approved economic operators, cf. Section 156, issued by the competent authority. The Contracting Authority can only accept a certificate of registration on an official list from tenderers established in the country maintaining the official list. The Contracting Authority may apply the procedure set out in Section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act if applications or tenders do not comply with the formal requirements of the procurement documents. No participation fee will be paid. It is noted that the estimated value constitutes an estimate of the expected contract value for the entire duration of the contract, including the price of the option. The estimate is based on historical consumption and an expected economic scenario. Attention is drawn to the fact that the procurement procedure is subject to Article 5k of Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, as subsequently amended. The provision contains a prohibition against awarding contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled companies, etc. (see Article 5k(1) for the precise definition of the entities covered by the prohibition). The Contracting Authority reserves the right, at any time during the procurement procedure, to request documentation demonstrating that economic operators are not covered by the prohibition, for example by requesting a declaration to this effect and/or documentation regarding the place of establishment and ownership structure of the economic operators and any subcontractors. Please also refer to document Appendix B (Additional Information), which contains supplementary information regarding this section. The document is available via the electronic procurement system.
