Operation of QGIS and operation of a QGIS plugin repository

This tender focuses on the operational management and support of QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System) as the new standard desktop GIS workstation within the organization. The scope includes the deployment of QGIS with business-specific pre-configurations to ensure a tailored user experience. A key component of this procurement is the establishment and operation of a dedicated, in-house QGIS plugin repository hosted within the IT-DLZ (IT-Distributed Services Center). This internal repository is mandated due to IT security concerns that preclude the use of the standard, external QGIS plugin repository. The primary function of this internal repository will be to provide verified and maintained Python plugins to QGIS users, specifically within the Environmental business unit. This ensures that users have access to tested and approved tools that meet the organization's security standards and operational requirements. The tender seeks a service provider capable of managing both the QGIS deployment and the secure operation of the plugin repository, ensuring the availability of essential GIS functionalities for the Environmental department.
