KID Magdeburg GmbH (KID) provides information technology and consulting services as an IT service provider to the state capital Magdeburg (LH MD) and the municipal IT UNION eG (KITU). The provision of the services provided by the KID for KITU is subject to constant change. This can also depend on the respective member requirements as well as on the technology available on the market.

It intends to bid for a framework agreement with an economic operator, which is concluded with the KID and serves to cover the needs of KITU members for the supply, installation and implementation of firewall and endpoint security of the manufacturer Palo Alto Networks. The framework agreement is designed in particular to meet the needs of the implementation of the “Directive on granting grants to promote access to information and communication technologies” in relation to computer-based teaching. The framework agreement is intended to take into account the regular changes in the requirements placed on the KID and its customers. The goal is a partnership between the KID and the contractor during the contract period in order to meet the challenges associated with the change.

background

The hardware and software is primarily intended for use in general and vocational schools in Saxony-Anhalt.

With the DigitalPakt Schule, the federal and state governments want to make schools better equipped with digital technology. In order to achieve this goal, the federal and state governments have signed the administrative agreement for the Digital Compact. The Bundestag and the Federal Council had previously amended Article 104c of the Basic Law, thus creating the constitutional basis for the School Digital Compact. The Digital Pact is financed by the digital infrastructure fund, a so-called special fund, which was established at the end of 2018.

Investment measures in school buildings and school grounds are supported, including planning, procurement, construction and commissioning. The DigitalPact focuses on the cabling of school buildings and premises as well as the complete networking of the respective school complex (e.g. using school WLAN) as a focus of future funding. In addition, the acquisition of presentation technology, digital work devices and end devices is to be promoted.
