The Danish Agency for Development and Simplification offers operations, support, maintenance and further development of the customs segment. The Customs segment consists of a number of business systems and support components that together support the processing of goods imported into or out of the EU countries, as well as the internal transport of these goods within the EU countries. The treatment consists primarily of security checks, customs duties and excise duties for special goods. The systems must make it quick and easy for suppliers and carriers to move goods into and out of the EU safely and correctly.
The call for tenders is negotiated. The contracting entity expects one round of negotiations to be held, but reserves the right to award the contract on the basis of initial offers without conducting negotiations, and the contracting entity reserves the right to hold further rounds of negotiations. The contracting entity will not limit the number of participants along the way and no consideration will be paid for the negotiation.
Today, the duty segment consists of a number of business systems and support components designed to ensure that suppliers and transporters are able to transport goods in and out of the EU quickly and easily, and that this is done in accordance with current legislation. The duty segment is available 24/7/365, so that Danish and foreign companies can report and have their reports processed on an ongoing basis.
The segment has approx. 100 system interfaces, which are generally set up in a SOA architecture. In the interfaces, information is exchanged with the European Commission, other EU countries, Danish authorities, companies, other tax administration systems and internally between the customs systems. Exchange takes place in several ways, such as web services, FTP file transfer and online. The area is largely regulated by the EU and international agreements.
The Customs segment is characterized by a mix of proprietary and licensed IT systems, and the segment is part of the Tax Administration's business system portfolio.
The proprietary systems are:
- Import,
- e-Export,
- Manifesto,
- RIS,
- SSPTS,
- Surveillance,
- Quota,
- ICS.
The licensed systems are:
- Taric3,
- eVita,
- ECN (Intrasoft),
- ECN + (Intrasoft),
- NCTS (Intrasoft),
- RAS.
The proprietary systems are mainly Java-based, which are primarily run on different versions of Weblogic servers; Sybase and Oracle are used as a database. In addition, a number of open source products are used, for example the technologies openSSH, openLDAP, Quartz and Jasper Reports.
Today, the 7 environments of the Customs segment are run on a mix of physical and virtual servers with a total of approx. 150 CPU cores and approx. 900 GB RAM. Today's environmental data for SANs fill approx. 20 000 GB and the environment backup takes approx. 55 000 GB.
The scope of the commercial use of the systems is as follows: Import and export systems have a total of approx. 16 500 users. It's about. 1,000 file transfer users (EDI / EDIFACT / XML), and these account for the bulk of the transaction volume. The number of concurrent users is for approx. 1 700.
Import deals with approx. 1 700 000 entries per year in which there are approx. 6,200,000 items. Export deals approx. 1 600 000 entries per year in which there are approx. 9 700 000 items. ECN + (Export Control System) processes approx. 1 600 000 entries annually in relation to both the EU and DK. The transit system (NCTS) has approx. 190 companies that users and companies create approx. 180,000 entries per year in which there are approx. 3 400 000 items. ICS handles approx. 120,000 entries per year containing approx. 145,000 items and manifest handle approx. 120 000 arrival and departure declarations annually, containing approx. 6,000,000 manifest entries. The customs segment includes approx. 130 batch jobs that run at different frequencies.
The system portfolio will be modified and its locations wound up as a result of the development of new customs systems (EUTK systems). Development of new customs systems is beyond this contract.
