Technical requirements: The purpose of this tender procedure is to award a single contract to a supplier or a consortium of suppliers that can provide the delivery, installation, tuning and ongoing development of a solution for Flight Data Services. Furthermore, the supplier or consortium of suppliers should be able to provide maintenance and support services during the operational and economic lifetime of the solution.
The tender procedure is a RESTRICTED PROCEDURE. During the selection phase, ATC-NL wishes to select a maximum of 5 (five) candidates who have proven themselves as capable in realizing similar contracts successfully. The selected candidates will then be eligible to submit a tender during the award
The new FDS solution shall consist of a service supporting storage of ATS messages, flights, flight data, etc. and anticipates on expected new standards for message communication to be provided with relevant ATS messages, e.g.. connect to B2B (SWIM) flight services to meet future requirements for ANSP’s and CFSP’s. Working positions shall be configurable with (user) profiles, which will be the basis for flights and flight plan messages that are available to the user. For FDS LVNL requires a service, with possibilities to apply and manually adjust data-disclosure, functionalities, and HMI-presentation for different users(-groups).
1)       In the first phase of the project the current ADAS system has to be replaced and certified with the current functionality. The implementation is anticipated to be finished in 2024.
2)       The second phase of the project will add functionality that is now covered by a separate system called Home Briefing System (see more detailed description of HBS above), and will eventually include amongst others: B2B connection, AMHS/AFTN connection, HMI improvements and connection with the future Contingency Center Polaris.
The System Requirements Document (SRD), as will be used in the award phase, will further specify both phases of the project.
o	Documentation for software and training. An important reason for the replacement of ADAS is the need to verify the compliance of the system to the required safety assurance level. ATC-NL will provide a high-level functional requirements document, and the Supplier shall document the specification of the software to allow certification according to a SWAL 4.
o	Integration testing: The system is tested in relation to its neighbouring systems (interfacing systems). The system integration test has multiple focus areas: the technical system integration and the functional system integration.;
o	Acceptance testing: The system is tested to verify that the system meets the requirements of LVNL.;
o	Development service for further development and maintenance work for the full life cycle of the product;
o	Realizing changes as a result of new/altered international regulations such as SESAR CP1 (Common Project 1)
