Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to procure a Network Access Control System (NACS) that enhances the security framework of SANAS. The system should provide functionalities such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On (SSO), visibility into mobile devices, security compliance checks, device authentication, and device trust management. The goal is to ensure that LAN, WAN, VPN, applications, and information systems are sanitized, authenticated, and trusted, with minimal staff intervention, operating 24/7.

Scope

The scope involves engaging a service provider to deliver a Network Access Control System with features similar to Duo Beyond or equivalent. The system should support:

  • Zero-trust security platform
  • SSH and web-based access to internal applications without VPN
  • Device identification and blocking of unknown/untrusted devices
  • MFA with access policies and device visibility
  • Policy and control over user authentication methods
  • Device insight prior to authentication
  • Monitoring endpoint vulnerability status
  • Verification of endpoint security compliance
  • SSO, self-service portal, and password-less login
  • Integration with Active Directory and MS Azure

The deployment is expected to be hybrid, supporting SANAS staff working remotely and on-site, with an expected delivery date in July 2026.

Technical Requirements

  • Licenses and support for 3 years
  • Number of users: 90
  • Number of virtual servers: 30
  • Expected devices: 250
  • Supported platforms: Microsoft Windows 11
  • Network termination device: Sophos NGX230 Firewall in failover mode
  • Contract duration: 3 years
  • Deployment: Hybrid environment

The solution must integrate with existing SANAS infrastructure, including Windows Server 2022, Sophos Anti-Virus, and cloud services like Office365 with Mimecast protection. Support during installation and stabilization is preferred onsite, with ongoing support on-call thereafter.

Skills Requirements

  • Experience with deploying and supporting Network Access Control systems, preferably Duo Beyond or equivalent
  • Knowledge of zero-trust security architecture
  • Proficiency in integrating MFA, SSO, and device management solutions with Active Directory and MS Azure
  • Ability to support hybrid deployment models
  • Capability to provide support during installation, stabilization, and ongoing operation
  • Understanding of SANAS’s existing IT environment, including Windows Server, Sophos Firewall, and endpoint security solutions
  • Strong support and maintenance skills for a three-year contract period

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements

To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting
