Tender for public procurement of delivery and maintenance of a meta-data repository for digital preservation.
The State and University Library (hereafter called SB) is a public institution under the Danish Ministry of Culture. The library serves as university library for Aarhus University, as the main loan centre for Danish public libraries and also as a national library.
As a national library SB is engaged in long term preservation of digital cultural heritage material as part of its obligations according to the Danish legal deposit law.
SB wants to procure a new System, that shall replace the Existing Meta-data Repository and the Meta-data Management GUI in the existing Infrastructure for Digital Preservation. At the same time we expect the new system to fully or partially replace our components for ingest and analysis, enrichment and validation processes, meta-data export, and access copy generation. Furthermore, we expect the new System to help us expand our processes for Digital Preservation Planning and Digital Preservation Actions.
The State and University Library (hereafter called SB) is a public institution under the Danish Ministry of Culture. The library serves as university library for Aarhus University, as the main loan centre for Danish public libraries and also as a national library. As a national library SB is engaged in long term preservation of digital cultural heritage material as part of its obligations according to the Danish legal deposit law. Besides many audio collections SB also holds the Danish National Radio and TV Archive which includes more than 2.7 PB of digital recordings and grows daily. Another large collection is the digital newspaper collection with more than 26 000 000 digitised newspaper pages. This collection also grows daily and will hold close to 30 000 000 newspaper pages by the end of 2016. All digital collections are to be preserved in the Digital Repository according to the core principles of the OAIS Reference Model (ISO 14721).
The contract is not divided into partial agreements, since the contracting entity considers that the contract's services and context is only suitable to be performed by a single supplier.

According to the Act on Enforcement of Tender Regulations etc. (the Act can be downloaded from www.retsinformation.dk), the following deadlines apply for filing a complaint:
For appeal of a decision not to pre-qualify, the appeal must be filed with the Complaints Board for Public Procurement within 20 calendar days from the day following the day on which the contracting entity has notified the applicants concerned about who has been pre-qualified, if the notification contains a short summary of the relevant reasons for the decision.
Appeals concerning failure to be awarded the contract must be submitted within 45 days after the contracting entity has published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union that the contracting entity has entered into a contract.
The appellant shall, no later than simultaneously with submitting an appeal to the Complaints Board for Public Procurement, notify the contracting entity that an appeal has been lodged with the Complaints Board for Public Procurement. This is most easily done by the complainant sending or e-mailing a copy of the complaint with annexes to the contracting entity. The Complaints Board needs to know whether the complainant has notified the contracting entity, and the complainant must therefore submit a copy of the notification of the contracting entity to the Appeals Board.
