The scope of this tender is for the contracting authority (the Danish Ministry of Immigration and Integration — hereinafter referred to as ‘UIM’) to acquire a biometric matching system (hereinafter referred to as ‘BMS’) for matching of aliens, which shall be implemented into UIM’s IT portfolio. The contract shall cover IT support of biometric identification of aliens including the implementation, maintenance, sup-port and further development of the BMS supplemented by additional systems, IT solutions and associated IT consultancy services related hereto.
The background of this tender is the Danish Parliament’s adoption of the Consolidation Act No 1022 of 2 October 2019 (the Aliens Act), which aims to let Danish authorities across the field of immigration establish and verify the identity of aliens in a quicker, suppler and more reliable way. The Danish authorities including UIM therefore now have legal capacity to record, store and process biometric data (finger-prints and facial photographs) on aliens to a greater extent than previously.
On this basis UIM wishes to acquire a BMS and to include such IT system in the current administrative procedures of UIM and UIM’s IT portfolio. The BMS shall be used for daily tasks in relation to identification of aliens and enable UIM to work with existing systems and registries of alien identities which form the basis for the case handling. Where appropriate, the BMS must additionally be able to support other authorities’ execution of tasks, including the Danish police, Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Danish regions and municipalities.
The contract will be covering the most significant technology areas for biometric matching and corresponding interfaces and integration points and among others contribute to ensure an effective and high quality IT solution for biometric matching of aliens provided to UIM to strengthen security and enhance identification usability in terms of response times and quality of data. Moreover, the contract shall provide the foundation for UIM to further expand and enhance the BMS in regard to new technology, including new development as well as any further additions, expansions and improvements to the existing solution.
(c) further development and associated consultancy services to an IT-solution regarding biometric identification of aliens.
