HARDWARE FOR MINISTRY FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF NORTH MACEDONIA

This document only sets mandatory ethical-screening rules for first-tier subcontractors (no recent convictions for money-laundering, human trafficking, etc. and submission of a procurement passport) but gives no information on the actual hardware goods, technical specs, quantities, price ceilings or bidder qualifications, so companies cannot yet decide whether to bid.

This compliance-only document simply requires bidders – whether solo or in a consortium – to confirm (mandatory radio-button declarations) that they have submitted an unconditional offer, attached the consortium power-of-attorney if applicable, marked any justified business secrets, excluded banned subcontractors, used the prescribed price structure and demonstrated equivalence to any referenced standards, so any IT/hardware supplier that can tick these boxes and meet the (separately published) technical specs for North Macedonia’s firewall/logging/network bundle should proceed.

This €-denominated, single-lot supply tender for North Macedonia’s Ministry of Digital Transformation awards the entire contract 100 % on lowest compliant bid (price-only criterion), so bidders must simply quote the cheapest all-inclusive price for the unified firewall, log-management and network hardware package detailed in Annex 1 and be prepared to take full turnkey responsibility for delivery, configuration, support and warranty.

The Estonian e-Governance Academy is running a single-lot, open-procedure tender (CPV 30200000-1/32420000-3) for a turnkey package of computers, network and security hardware for North Macedonia’s Ministry of Digital Transformation—vendors must submit an electronic ESPD demonstrating financial/technical capacity and prove they can supply, configure, integrate and support the whole solution as a single, interoperable and fully-supported unit (mandatory).

Mandatory bid: supply 2 enterprise-grade NGFW appliances that meet every listed throughput/interface/licensing spec (no partial compliance), backed by proven ability to integrate AD/LDAP, IPSec/SSL inspection, SD-WAN and provide single-vendor turnkey delivery/support into North Macedonia’s Ministry for Digital Transformation.

This draft contract form merely establishes that the winning bidder must supply and support a unified hardware package (firewall, log-management and network devices) whose exact mandatory specifications sit in Annex 1 and whose eligibility/award criteria are those already fixed in the preceding procurement documents.

This is a mandatory turnover-declaration form that requires bidders to prove net annual turnover ≥ €150k for each of the last 3 financial years (audited accounts/tax returns mandatory) to qualify for supplying hardware to North Macedonia’s Ministry for Digital Transformation.

Single-lot, open-procurement for an integrated firewall, log-management and network-device package (delivery, configuration, support included) that must remain compatible and secure until 31 Jan 2026 – bidders need proven systems-integration capability and EU public-contract experience to compete.
