Provision of Mapping of Network Services

Item Description:

The World Food Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian organization fighting hunger worldwide, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience.

WFP hosts its backbone IT services in few dislocated datacentres located in Europe.

A wide array of core systems interconnects across the above datacentres to provide end-users continuous access to central services.

The current network layout has a limited degree of internal LAN isolation (i.e. zoning).  Based on a best practice guideline, WFP will change the global network layout to a “zero trust” zone.

In order to achieve this goal WFP will have to perform a gap analysis to bridge from the current model to the new Network Architecture Model (NAM). The exercise is aimed at remapping all services in detail so that a comprehensive view on how these exchange data on the network can be documented.

Therefore, WFP is soliciting expressions of interest from qualified suppliers involved in the provision of Mapping of Network Services of the WFP Headquarter in Rome, Italy.
