Technical requirements: Concerning the supply of software updates and maintenance from the Worksoft Suite, with an option for scaling the amount of licenses covered.
This tender procedure concerns a contract regarding the supply of software updates, software support and software maintenance from the Worksoft Suite, with an option for scaling the amount of licenses covered.
DALO's Test platform includes products from the Worksoft Suite, such as Worksoft Certify. To ensure a stable, secure, and reliable platform, DALO wishes to enter into a Contract (from 31.12.2017) which ensures software updates, software support and software maintenance on all current Worksoft products in DALO's Test platform.
Furthermore DALO wishes for the Contract to include the option to scale for additional software maintenance and support for additional licenses.
The Supplier shall provide the option to scale for additional software maintenance and support for additional licenses.
The contract is not divided into lots on the grounds that the tender is limited in scope of goods and services and further subdivision into lots is not relevant.
This public procurement is transitioning to a competitive procedure with negotiation in accordance with section 80, litra 1, of the Danish Public Procurement Act. Under section 80, litra a, DALO may apply a competitive procedure with negotiation ‘no requests for participation or tenders have been received’ As DALO has received notenders, DALO has assessed that the legal basis for transitioning to a competitive procedure with negotiation is fulfilled.
