Titre: Remote Qualified Signature Creation Device (rQSCD)
Description: 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.

Critères de sélection
Sources des critères de sélection: Avis
Critère: Chiffre d'affaires annuel général
Description du critère de sélection: The tenderer must submit the European Single Procurement Document ("ESPD") with the following information. The tenderer's total annual turnover in the latest financial year(s) available. In this procedure, the tenderer may rely on the economic and financial capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their economic and financial capacity available to the tenderer must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications. If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of requirements, see below, the tenderer and the entities in question will be required by the contracting entity to undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the contract. The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. Upon the contracting entity's request, the following documentation of economic and financial capacity must be submitted: A statement regarding the operator's overall turnover in the latest annual report/financial statement available, depending on when the operator was established or started trading if the figures for this turnover are available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information in the latest annual report/financial statement available must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company, a sister company or a subcontractor), information for such other entities must be provided as well. Minimum requirement: As a minimum requirement, a total annual turnover of at least DKK 37 million is required in the latest annual report/financial statement available. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, the turnover is to be calculated as the total turnover of the tenderer and such other entities in the latest annual report/financial statement available. For groups of operators (e.g., a consortium), the turnover is calculated as the total turnover of the operators in the latest annual report/financial statement available. The information is to be stated in section IV.B of the ESPD.
Critère: Autres exigences économiques ou financières
Description du critère de sélection: The brief description of the selection criteria (or criterion), including minimum requirements, required information (e.g. self-declaration, documentation) and how the criteria or criterion will be used to select candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure (if a maximum number of candidates was set): The tenderer must submit the European Single Procurement Document ("ESPD") with the following information: The tenderer's equity in the latest financial year available. In this procedure, the tenderer may rely on the economic and financial capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their economic and financial capacity available to the tenderer must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications.

If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of the suitability requirements, the tenderer and the entities concerned will be required by the contracting entity to undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the contract. The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. Upon the contracting entity's request, the following documentation of economic and financial capacity must be submitted: The operator's balance sheet, or extracts thereof, from the latest annual report/financial statements available, where publication of the balance sheet is required under the law of the country in which the operator is established, or other documentation demonstrating the operator's equity. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the relevant information from the latest annual report/financial statements available must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, a sister company or a subcontractor), the corresponding information for such other entities must also be submitted. Minimum requirement: As a minimum requirement, the tenderer must have positive equity in the latest annual report/financial statements available.
