Q
Are we getting payment directly from World Bank? or KKP? So, if we get payment from KKP, I am not sure, firstly the payment in Rupiah and need conversion for to USD.
A
What have you requested is to have direct payment instead from KKP right? We will be taking note and propose to World Bank related to your question. This is because you are not willing to open a bank account in Indonesia.
Q
Currency for all these transactions will be in USD ?
A
Yes, correct
Q
We reviewed the tender document, because of the scale and the nature of the scope itself. We would like to confirm that our responsibility is just to provide the solution, and we are actually making an assumption that data acquisition will be KKP responsibility and will not be part of our deliveries. Is that correct? In short, we are responsible to form data acquisition in Phase 1, and again the concern for 20 conservation areas. Those in remote areas and we would prefer joint responsibility between KKP and us, we would provide some training and knowledge transfer to ensure the capabilities within KKP to deliver to the rest in Phase 2, because in the future could be more than those areas.
A
Related to the scope of work after being awarded, there are some indicators that are being outlined by the World Bank such as Phase 1 (1A and 1B) and Phase 2. Related to Phase 1, the providers must collect the data by using technology that being proposed such as aerial drones and underwater drones, It must complete within two areas, namely gili matra and sea sawu, including hands-on training within the KKP personnel. Relate to Phase 2 for scale up, since we believed that foreign companies have difficulties travelling because most of the conservation areas are in remote locations. We will be taking note since in the TOR already mentioned that the providers to take activities to scale up to the 20 conservation areas.
Q
In terms of deliver of the equipment, is KKP expecting full delivery of all equipment per in TOR or in phases. In short of we have in stock ready, can we be able to deliver all that equipment?
A
Yes, and you can put in the proposed solution in the ISD form along with disbursement plan
Q
Related to logistic effort, are we going to deliver in the single location, for example Jakarta, and KKP will assist to deliver to the rest of location for equipment to perform data acquisition
A
Related to the hardware’s, servers and other peripherals, those will be allocated in Jakarta in KKP data centre. For aerial drones and underwater drones, the providers must send to the exact location for Phase 1, such as KKP branch office in Gili Matra and Kupang, including hands-on training, mapping and others.
Q
How about if the equipment needs a boat? to perform the data acquisition. Is that also responsibility of the providers?
A
Yes, in the ISD form of the solution, please provide all activities and if required boat then it will be part of the providers.
Q
If we have additional questions, are we able to send electronic mail for the clarifications? If yes, we would like to have an email address.
A
Yes, you can send to KKP procurement unit email that has already been published on Lautra Website, and we will address all the questions and answers as well.
Q
For the deployment of geospatial platform. For expectation, is it fully Kubernetes system or is its conventional system?
A
We are welcome whether if container or conventional.
Q
In the Ocean Monitoring System (OMS) Project from the World Bank (WB), are there any restrictions from the WB regarding the list of devices that are not allowed to be used? If so, is there a list? We do not want the solution we propose not to violate the provisions of the WB?
A
It is stated in the ISD and TOR especially in the appendix’s documents. There is information related to equipment, aerial drones and marine drones’ specifications which are allowed by the WB, such as not military specifications, data encryption is also not military and many others..
Q
Is the export control permit taken care of by the provider or from the KKP will facilitate this?
A
Export permits and controls are taken care of by the Provider, will be assisted by letters from the KKP/WB if needed.
Q
Deliverable related to digital and AI development, and others, is it necessary to explain in detail what will be developed, and for the bathymetry, is it using old or new data?
A
KKP already has existing bathymetrical data, and the provider will enhance the data by using air/sea drones to improve in accuracy
Q
Blue carbon analysis, algorithms provided geospatially or are there algorithms that are already available? To what extent is it expected to be displayed in the geospatial?
A
As part of the scope of work, currently there is no blue carbon analysis data available, the providers must provide the solution how to approach this.
Q
Integration of MPA history data to be included in the geospatial platforms, is there a special format?
A
Currently, historical KKP data is available from 2022 until now, the geospatial basis is included in the data, for example in the form of Shape, we want providers to be able to convert all forms of data using applications/systems developed by providers
Q
Related to Training and Capacity Building. How many training courses will be conducted in sites and how many personnel are that being trained?
A
We would like to see the solution approach from the providers that have to be filled in the ISD document. Maybe there will be a certain type of capacity building such as classroom or hands-on training. We would like to see Hybrid Training as a solution because the providers must complete phase 1 in order to continue to phase 2. Personnel who are trained are probably from two Directorates General, namely DG Marine Spatial Planning and DG Marine Management with emphasis on Branch Offices (UPT) , probably around 50 people.
Q
Related to the system integration, is there a special format/ SOP that must be followed? Is there any special room for the data center and its facilities in Jakarta or Brach Office? such as cooling system, does it have to be provided by the vendor?
A
Related to the system integration, all data conversion must be provided by provider, KKP has one centralized data center in Jakarta, so data coming from sea/air drone data is processed into a web base or application software offered by participants in ISD. There is no infrastructure deployment in the branch office (UPT). That’s our design approach, but we are free for providers to have different solutions.
Q
Related to Cyber security that read in TOR, must comply with BSSN and ISO 27001, does the vendor have to provide an audit or from the KKP?
A
The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries already have ISO 20071 Cyber security, maybe after the deployment, the providers must provide surveillance activities for 27001.
Q
Is it possible to use open source for geospatial in Evika?
A
Yes, you may use open-source system. For the use of open-source systems, it is allowed, it should be noted that your application can be integrated with EVIKA and make digital development from the data that is still manual, for example Socio-Economic data, environment and data from Air Drones, it is hoped that the data will be made into automation.
Q
How far EVIKA integration into the construction of this OMS platform? Means full autonomation?
A
It depends on the approach of the providers. It means to make EVIKA converting calculation manually into full automation.

Q
Kindly clarify whether, in the event that Phase 1 (Foundational Capability and Pilot Validation) fails to achieve the required results, the project would terminate without proceeding to Phase 2 (Nationwide Scale-up).
A
Yes. Progression to Phase 2 (Nationwide Scale-up) is contingent upon the successful completion of Phase 1 (Foundational Capability and Pilot Validation).
If Phase 1 fails to achieve the required results or validation benchmarks, the project would not automatically proceed to Phase 2. The TOR and ISD frameworks are designed to ensure that scale-up only occurs once foundational capabilities are proven effective and validated.
In such cases, the contracting authority (MMAF/World Bank) would review the outcomes of Phase 1 and determine whether the project should be terminated, or whether adjustments, remedial actions, or re-scoping are possible before reconsidering progression.
The principle is that Phase 2 depends on Phase 1 success, ensuring accountability, risk management, and value for money.
