How to legally make a backup channel for a budgetary institution?

Question

Computer networks

Such a question, can anyone come across. There is an office, budgetary. The provider brought the Internet into it, but from time to time something breaks and at that moment the office turns into a cactus. The situation is complicated by the presence of public servers, which must also function 24/7. Therefore, an alternative uplink is needed. But the problem is that it is possible to draw a reserve only through a competition, and the same prov that has already started a line (they even offered) can win the competition. It is impossible to exclude him from the tender, it would be a violation of the law. And if they win, then it’s not like a full-fledged reservation - they may still have something broken inside and both lines will lie.
Who will advise what? Is there any experience of getting out of this situation?

Answer 1

1. Move public servers to hosting, to the cloud?
2. In the tender, you can exclude an already current provider based on the division of responsibility. You can ask your lawyer how to formulate this. But this is a completely normal situation where you need an independent connection, and it will be perfectly legal. After all, you need a backup, and not just a connection.

Answer 2

Well, the standard practice would be to add service availability to the TOR, for example, at least 99.7%. And the fines for inoperability above the set level are clearly spelled out.
And so you can weed out anyone, if you correctly use protective measures. Include the supply of 1 SIM card in the contract, small operators are immediately eliminated. You add "the presence of your own sewage system", so in general it will not work except for the RTK.
