The aim of the procurement is to procure a ready developed software for secure sending and receiving data from and to the contracting authority, a software for the so-called MFT - Managed File Transfer. The software for managed and secure file transfer will run on separate servers at the Contracting Authority and it will be protected by the Contracting Authority's perimeter security. The contracting authority envisages that the Software should also have functionality in order to store data at storage locations both on-premise and in a future cloud system/platform.
