CTBTO - Global Communication Infrastructure - searching for company The Provisional Technical Secretariat (PTS) of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) issued on 13 December 2004 a Request for Expression of Interest to provide the Commission's next generation of Global Communications Infrastructure (GCI). The Treaty obliges signatories not to conduct any nuclear test explosions in order to preventing states from developing nuclear weapons as well and preventing states that possess nuclear weapons from improving them.
The GCI is a communication system that connects the 321 monitoring stations and 16 laboratories that comprise the International Monitoring System (IMS), the Treaty's verification system that ensures no state can secretly conduct a nuclear test explosion, to the International Data Centre (IDC) at the CTBTO's headquarters in Vienna, Austria. The Expression of Interest is available to any company that can satisfy the requirements of the GCI. The Expression of Interest must be received by the closing date of 31 March 2005.
Further information about this opportunity is available on the CTBTO website at www.ctbto.org under "Opportunities-Procurement". A number of PDF documents can be found under the heading for this business opportunity that provide details about technical requirements as well as information about the CTBTO, IMS, IDC, GCI .
