"The subject-matter of the procurement",
"",
"About the contracting authority",
"The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) is tasked with ensuring good market performance. The Competition Division removes barriers to competition, ensuring that consumers are offered competitive alternatives. The Consumer Division, on the other hand, ensures that consumers have access to sufficient, accurate, and truthful information for making choices, and that the practices companies use in marketing and their customer relations are appropriate and the contract terms applied by them are reasonable.",
"",
"Further information concerning the contracting authority and especially the Competition Division can be found from our web page. Relevant information can be found from: https:\/\/www.kkv.fi\/en\/facts-and-advice\/competition-affairs\/ ",
"",
"The FCCA has a need to maintain its capabilities in its case handling and is preparing to start a procurement process. This project goes by the name \u201cForensic Analysis Research Tool\u201d. The initial subject-matter of the procurement is described here. Please note that this contains the initial needs of the contracting authority. These needs and information provided are subject to change. This is part of a market consultation, which aims to further increase the knowledge of the contracting authority.",
"",
"Background",
"The contracting authority and mainly its Competition Division has multiple cases in which the contracting authority investigates suspected competition infringements and uses a software (hereinafter also \u201cproduct\u201d) to analyze tens, if not hundreds of gigabytes worth of files as evidence. The product is used to analyze the material and at the same time maintain the integrity of it. It is vital that this work can be done simultaneously by multiple users and this requirement applies to individual cases, i.e. multiple users must be able to go through the material of the same case simultaneously, while making markings to the material.",
"",
"Most of the users of the product are either lawyers or economists, whose IT skills vary. Hence the typical user of the product is not a forensic researcher per se. Therefore, the contracting authority values and is looking for simple-to-use product, which the case handlers can effectively use to make judicial evaluations based on the material.",
"",
"Many of the cases are at or are about to be taken to court. During court proceedings it is vital to be able to meet critical deadlines. Because of this, the abovementioned need for simultaneous working on the same case is of utmost importance. The contracting authority foresees that cases with massive amounts of data will not decrease over time. Furthermore, the contracting authority considers it possible that the product could be used during dawn raids. During dawn raids the contracting authority has even more data to comb through to determine which of the materials should be kept for further analysis.",
"",
"General aspects on the subject-matter of the procurement",
"The contracting authority has its own operating environment (server) for the product. The contracting authority will use this operating environment. Hence the subject-matter of the procurement is not the hardware required for the operating environment, not even partially. Any questions in relation to the requirements for the operating environment are made solely to be able to determine, whether a separate procurement is needed.",
"",
"The contracting authority seeks an off-the-shelf product with useful features with which the case handlers can inter alia mark or tag individual files, exclude files, use efficient searches, investigate items from a relevant time period, find correlations within the material and share the workload with other case handlers. The product must functionally support the principles of Forensic IT and thereby ensure that the files handled by the product will maintain their origin and authenticity. For the use of the subsequent processing phase the product must have the capacity to process, index and analyze large amounts of data (up to several Terabytes) as well as document these in order for the data to be used as evidence in court.",
"",
"The initial plan is to complete the procurement phase within the year 2021. This is to include the starting of production use of the product. Please note, that this is the initial goal and it is subject to change. Partially due to this, the contracting authority is looking into finalized products or of-the-shelf products without the need to make localizations or other customizations.",
"",
"It is also worth noting, that most of the cases require years to finish. The goal is to have the same product for years. The initial plan is to have the product in production use for at least three (3) years, with the option to further prolong the contract period.",
"",
"Further remarks on the operating environment",
"The material analyzed with the product contain confidential files acquired by the contracting authority in accordance with the law. Confidentiality is one of the reasons why the material along with the product are now and in the foreseeable future within the contracting authority\u2019s own operating environment, which is not connected to the internet. This entails that the provider of the product will not oversee the operating environment, and that the contracting authority will not grant access to its operating environment.",
