What the buyer is looking for
The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) wishes to entrust a service provider with the provision of an EVS and assistance in the organisation, preparation and conduct of electoral operations organised by the CNRS. The latter will be performed by means of services which themselves will be performed in particular by unit of work (UO). Given the nature of the data processed, qualified Secnumcloud hosting (or European standard of equivalent scope) is imperative.
