Description

The existing contract with Baker McKenzie, LLP is due to expire on 6/30/2022. OTI enlists outside legal counsel specializing in national/international cybersecurity and will need to establish a new contract in order to enable continuity of services. OTI is utilizing the Negotiated Acquisition Extension procurement method for selecting the incumbent vendor in order to continue to provide uninterrupted Cyber Security outside legal counsel services. This will allow the service to still be available to the agency while we work on the procurement for replacement services.

The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) is seeking the use of the Negotiated Acquisition Method to contract with Baker & McKenzie LLP for Cybersecurity Legal Services pursuant to Section 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) and Section 3-04(b)(2)(ii) of the Procurement Policy Board Rules (PPB). Risks to the integrity and security of vital City systems and information are complex and evolving, and have become a key component of effective enterprise risk management. Identifying and mitigating these risks are a top priority for the Citys Cybersecurity Team and having the resources of a top data privacy and protection law firm is essential to the successful operations of the Citys information technology infrastructure. The need for special legal expertise with a discipline in cybersecurity is clear in order for the City to effectively prepare and address legal issues relating to cybersecurity risks and/or data breaches. We are extending the existing contract with the current vendor for service continuity, while the agency makes a determination as to the best long term option for replacement services.
