NATO SECRET Special Terms and Conditions.
Due to the multinational aspect of NATO, part of the services in this SoW shall be delivered during national public holidays at the respective locations of performance.
1 INTRODUCTION The NATO Communications and Information Academy (NCI Academy) provides training on both static and deployed NATO communication and information systems (CIS), Consultation, Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), cyber security and cyber defence.
In addition, it plays a pivotal role in designing and developing new learning solutions for our customers, by conducting a thorough analysis of training needs and leveraging the latest learning technology.
The NCI Academy also provides education and training (E&T) services for internal Agency staff in support of professional and personal development, and post or mission specific requirements, to ensure the Agency has the necessary skills to meet customer requirements.
The NCI Academy has a total workforce of about 100 dedicated professionals in Agency locations in Belgium, Netherlands, and Portugal, as well as instructional staff embedded in other parts of the NCI Agency, academia and our commercial partners.
The NCI Academy’s flagship location in Oeiras, Portugal, was designed from the outset to be a state-of-the-art capability focused on education and individual training delivery.
The facility reached its initial operating capability on 2 September .
The academic facilities in Oeiras include.
a.
Laboratories and classrooms designed to receive up to students yearly; b.
Training facilities equipped with C4ISR systems that NATO currently employs and can accommodate any new systems planned for delivery; c.
Offices that can accommodate more than 110 staff and instructors; d.
A library and research facilities; e.
A 256 seat-auditorium equipped with an audio system, video projectors and simultaneous translation technology.
The learning of technical skills is often best achieved through practical experience.
Most of the courses delivered by the NCI Academy have, in addition to classroom-based lectures, a practical component built upon scenario-related labs developed by instructors to ensure students have properly understood the training material.
To implement this learning model, the NCI Academy implemented a training-specific CIS infrastructure which ensures the ability to provide training content and lab environments to students, when and where needed, without impacting production systems and networks.
This training infrastructure, designated as “Academy Learning Environment”, includes a computing and storage infrastructure (with virtualization) hosted in the Academy’s server room, a local network connecting all classrooms and labs, the associated cabling, student and instructor workstations, as well as all the required software.
The NCI Academy is looking to outsource part of the web development of services that are part of the ALE.

It is essential that the selected contractor is a full stack web developer with extensive knowledge in PHP, MySql, Git, CASD and other related web technologies.
