B.3 Solution Description LICHFL proposes to have alternate Service Provider for providing MPLS network for its selected Offices, Data Centre and Disaster Recovery Centers in India. The core objective is to build redundancy in the existing network by procuring MPLS VPN links from an alternate service provider (other than BSNL/MTNL). With this proposed connectivity, every location will have two direct paths to connect. Primary path will be through existing point-to-point Leased/MPLS-VPN links from BSNL/MTNL and secondary path will be through the proposed MPLS-VPN network. Both the paths will be used in active-active or active-passive mode. Initially secondary MPLS network shall be implemented in offices (Location details as per Annexure - I) in phased manner and later LICHFL may extend secondary MPLS network to other offices well. Presently around 230+ branches are connected using MPLS Network of BSNL / MTNL. The Service Provider shall provide last mile using copper / fiber / RF / Wi-Max / Etc. Preferably last mile should be in Fiber/Copper wherever feasible. Backhaul links from LICHFL DC and DR to Service Provider POP shall be in Fiber only.

Proposed Network: Office will be connected primarily through the BSNL MPLS cloud and secondary through the alternate service provider. Backhaul of alternate service provider should be provisioned at Data center Fort and Near DR Fort which will be connected on the same router. In case of primary link failure, the traffic should be routed to the secondary link automatically. It will be bidders responsibility to co-ordinate with the existing system integrator for the completing the network setup and configuration. LICHFL will ensure the adequate support from existing system integrator. Diagram B

Case 1: If primary connectivity of BSNL/MNTL goes down at Office traffic should be routed to Data Centre through secondary MPLS cloud. Case 2: If Primary backhaul DC goes down then traffic should be routed through secondary MPLS cloud. Case 3. If primary Point to point link goes down then traffic should be routed through secondary point to point link between DC and DR. The traffic should be re-routed to primary link once link is restored.

with the service provider is an arrangement for smooth and fair conduct of the Reverse Auction, the Company shall be directly responsible to vendors for fair and transparent conduct of Reverse Auction. The service provider at the end of each Reverse Auction shall provide the company with all details of the bids and reports of reverse auction. The service provider shall also archive the data pertaining to the Reverse Auction for a minimum period of 3 years. TRAINING AND AUCTION: Service provider / auctioneer is responsible for conduct of adequate training to all technically qualified bidders representing the reverse auction and bidding process.

Each vendor / bidder shall participate in the training at his / their own cost.
