After delivery, the supplier must provide training in the DWDM System for the staff of Banedanmark and/or the staff of Banedanmark’s operations service provider. Under the Maintenance and Support Agreement, the Supplier must provide maintenance and support for the DWDM System, including Level 3 support, after delivery of the DWDM System. In addition, the maintenance and support agreement allows Banedanmark to purchase spare parts collectively and individually to replace defective parts that are not covered by warranty or as otherwise required by Banedanmark. Spare parts must be available throughout the term of the maintenance and support agreement.
Immediately after the conclusion of the Contract, the vendor must participate in a clarification phase, where it is examined whether it is expedient to elaborate on or supplement the technical requirements, see in this regard Clause 6.4 of the Contract. The vendor is obliged to actively participate in the clarification phase with relevant employees. The clarification phase is a short and intensive process in which each party will have to make a significant effort, including participation in analyses, workshops and demonstrations. The activities in the clarification phase are described in detail in Annex A3 (Technical requirements).
The vendor and the delivery must at all times comply with Banedanmark’s security requirements set out Annex 2 (Security requirements).
The maintenance and support agreement includes maintenance and Level 3 support during the operating phase, see Clause 6.3 of the maintenance and support agreement, of the DWDM System delivered by the vendor, see Clause 6 of the Contract.
The maintenance and support agreement also comprises the provision of necessary spare parts for the DWDM System throughout the term of the service and support agreement. The vendor guarantees that the spare parts list enclosed with Annex 6 (Vendor’s tender) is appropriate for Banedanmark’s needs in keeping with the SLA, see Annex B3 (Technical requirements).
The continuous delivery of spare parts must take place 5 working days after they have been ordered by Banedanmark. The specific delivery address will be indicated on Banedanmark’s order. The ordering of spare parts is described in further detail in the service and support agreement.
The vendor must comply with the required response times set out in Annex B3 (Technical requirements) at all times.

The future improvements of the network can be made on all network sites. The use of 1 of sub-clauses (a-i) does not mean that another sub-clause will also be used. These are therefore independent of each other. In addition, for each sub-clause, Banedanmark is entitled to use the option for 1 site at a time, multiple sites or all sites at once.
Subject to a reasonable notice, Banedanmark is entitled to use the options during the entire term of the Contract, see Clause 24 in the Contract.
