Announcement in case of prior voluntary transparency for the purpose of concluding a contract with Q*Bird
Stichting Quantum Delta NL has announced a tender for the supply of a multi-point Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) network. The objective is to realize a research infrastructure that enables quantum-secure communication for future applications. The procedure is a negotiation without publication, meaning the tender is not publicly published and is discussed directly with selected suppliers. The assignment concerns the supply of hardware, software, integration services, and maintenance for a network connecting multiple nodes, with an emphasis on high key rates, long distances, and robust security protocols. Suppliers must demonstrate experience with quantum communication technology, fiber-optic integration, and the implementation of cryptographic protocols at a research level.
