The core scope of work for this tender primarily involves IT outsourcing services for ASNR's AI clusters (Prestations d'infogérance des clusters IA de l’ASNR).

The Statement of Work is structured around several distinct phases, comprising both firm and optional tranches:

• Firm Tranches:
• Phase de prise en charge (Takeover Phase): This phase is expected to last one month and focuses on the initial integration and setup.
• Phase de gouvernance (Governance Phase): This phase involves ongoing governance activities, described as a quarterly package.
• Phase de production (Production Phase): This is a continuous phase that includes various services such as:
• IA administration services (Prestations d'administrations IA).
• IA expertise services (Prestations d'expertises IA).
• IA cybersecurity expertise services (Prestations d'expertises en cybersécurité IA).
• Handling of complementary requests (Demandes complémentaires).
• Optional Tranche:
• Phase de réversibilité (Reversibility Phase): This phase concerns the handover process at the conclusion of the services and is subject to ASNR's decision to affirm it.

The tender also requires the bidder to detail their organization, means, and methods for each phase (takeover, governance, production, and reversibility), demonstrate technical competencies, and provide guarantees for maintaining staff profiles throughout the service. Furthermore, it includes considerations for sustainable development, such as optimizing resources (GPU, storage), limiting travel through teleworking, dematerializing exchanges, and monitoring environmental actions.
