Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: Design and construction of an online platform for live interactive broadcasts.  Design and construction of the system for uploading synchronized live video content to the platform.
Design, development and construction of an online platform for live interactive broadcasts in three different formats: passive single screen livestream, VR, and a viewer-controlled multi-screen format which displays at least 7 synchronized livestreams from the same event and allows the viewer to choose which stream to view full screen, or two streams side by side, or picture within a picture.  Design, development, and construction of the studio for uploading the streams in these multiple formats to the platform.  Ideally, the studio will also incorporate PTZ remote controls of the various cameras.  Design, development, and construction of an accompanying application which will allow for platform content on smartphones and pads.
The contract is subject to renewal in the event that the developer wishes to provide continuing technical support and management of the platform and related components after they have been designed and made available.
It is possible to submit a tender offer for the platform alone, for the studio alone, and for the application alone.  However, combining all three in the same bid will be advantageous as it can assure maximum compatibility of the three components of the broadcast system.
The procurement is an extension and/or follow up to EACEA Creative Europe Cooperation Project 2018: 2150.
The design qualities being essential to the success of this project, tender offers should include a draft of the design of the components in question.  No contract will be signed before a draft of the design for the platform, the studio, or the application has been submitted.
The development activities for the platform and the studio would ordinarily require an in house team of technicians with five to ten years of experience with online digital video transmission, as well as familiarty with VR technology.  The development activity required for the accompanying application would ordinarily require at least 7 years of experience with application technology, as well as familiarity with the transmission of video and VR video on smartphones.
The contract needs to be performed within a six month period of time, unless a longer time is negotiated in the procurement contract.
It is not obligatory to provide the names and qualifications of those who will be doing the work, but it may enhance the comparative value of a tender offer vis a vis competing offers.  The more experience with livestream technology, VR technology, uploading and app technology, the better.
The contract award will specify that the parties agree to resolve any disputes by voluntary mediation to be followed by binding arbitration without the intervention of outside counsel, to be conducted in Stockholm, Sweden.  This provision will apply not only to the review of the procurement procedure, but to any disputes about the performance of the contract itself.  Any vendor submitting a tender offer will be deemed to have consented in advance to this mediation/arbitration provision by virtue of this notice.

Eligibility requirements: The development activities for the platform and the studio would ordinarily require an in house team of technicians with five to ten years of experience with online digital video transmission, as well as familiarty with VR technology.  The development activity required for the accompanying application would ordinarily require at least 7 years of experience with application technology, as well as familiarity with the transmission of video and VR video on smartphones.
