Seven Groups Compete to Develop the IDF’s Main ICT Center
The tender, estimated at hundreds of millions of shekels, is considered the
largest, most complicated technological tender in the history of the IDF and
defense establishment
Ministry of Defense December 20, 2016
Over the past few days, the Ministry of Defense Directorate of Production
and Procurement (DOPP) and the IDF Telecommunications Division held a
special conference for groups participating in the major tender to
consolidate the IDF’s multiple telecommunications centers into an advanced
Data Center to be housed in the Negev.
Seven groups have purchased the tender documents: IAI, Elbit Systems, Bynet
Communications, ECI, IBM, Bezeq International and Motorola. Each nominee for
the tender comprises a consortium of companies including large international
IT companies and Israeli subcontractors.
The winning bid will be required to consolidate these dozens of computing
centers, which today are spread out around bases across the country, and
replace them with a limited number of modernized computing centers which
will then form the IDF ICT infrastructure. The recipient of the bid will be
required to establish and operate the centers for the period of time
specified in the tender.
The formulation of the tender, estimated at hundreds of millions of shekels
and considered the largest, most complicated technological tender in the
history of the IDF and defense establishment, is being led by the senior
deputy for intelligence and telecommunications, Eliezer Hasson. The Ministry
of Defense program office dedicated to the “IT Southern Plan” is led by Mrs.
Bracha Hertz, working together with Directorate for the Relocation of ICT to
the Negev under the IDF’s ICT Division, led by Col. Asher Dvash.
