Technical requirements: RegionData invites tenderers to participate in a competition for maintenance, supplementation and consultancy services for software licences. RegionData, with its owner municipalities, uses products from Microsoft in large parts of its IT environment, both on the server and client side and, not least, for office suite and interaction systems. Our existing EA (Enterprise Agreement) was extended in May 2018 to a joint hire agreement for both RegionData and its owner municipalities. This competition will result in a contract with a Microsoft Licensing Solutions Partner (LSP), who can process orders for licences and subscriptions for microsoft's entire portfolio, as well as a new EA agreement when this expires. Our licence supplier will also assist in annual true-up and any revisions, as well as SAM (Software Asset Management) consultancy services. In addition, an option is wanted for the municipalities' OVS-ES contracts to be administered via this licence management contract.
RegionData, hereafter called the Contracting Authority, invites tenderers to a competition for the provision of maintenance, supplements, consultancy services for software licences. RegionData, with its owner municipalities, uses products from Microsoft in large parts of its IT environment, both on the server and client side and, not least, for office suite and interaction systems. We have a mix of on-premise and cloud, with School largely cloud based in the form of Office 365, whilst the server systems based on Windows are run virtually on VMware and XenServer in a separate computer centre. Our existing EA (Enterprise Agreement) was extended in May 2018 to a joint hire agreement for both RegionData and its owner municipalities. This competition will result in a contract with a Microsoft Licensing Solutions Partner (LSP), who can process orders for licences and subscriptions for microsoft's entire portfolio, as well as a new EA agreement when this expires. Our licence provider will also assist in the annual true-up and any revisions. The microsoft licence provider must also be able to offer consultancy services for the management of the microsoft licences, i.e. SAM (Software Asset Management) consultancy services. The objective of the Framework Agreement is to ensure RegionData's needs for the hire of software licences (user rights for software), licence maintenance service and licence consultancy services. The contract must ensure that RegionData always has the most adequate and financial favourable licence agreements, and that RegionData gets access to consultancy services that are qualitative and financial favourable.
An option is wanted to administer the municipalities' OVS-ES contracts via this licence management contract. Each municipality currently has separate contracts within the field, with different expiry dates.
