Item Description:

The subject of this call for tender is the provision of web services to the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA or the contracting authority), including analysis, design and software development.

This tender is divided into two (2) Lots, as follows:

Lot 1: Provision of Intranet Web Services.

Lot 2: Provision of Internet Web Services.

Tenderers can apply for one or more lots. However, a separate tender must be submitted for each lot, and each tender must cover all the tasks in the lot to which it refers. Submission of a tender for only some of the tasks to be performed under the contract will lead to the rejection of the tender.

Purpose of the tender

The purpose of this invitation to tender is to award mixed multiple framework contract(s) for the provision of the services as specified in Annex A.1 – Technical Specifications, in the form of separate but identical contracts with a maximum of 5 contractors, provided that there is a sufficient number of tenders that have access to the procurement, are not excluded, satisfy the selection criteria and award criteria and comply with the tender specifications.

Mixed multiple framework contracts are implemented through specific contracts awarded either:

• on the basis of objective conditions determined in the procurement documents (cascade mechanism) for specific contracts up to EUR 60,000.00 or
• through re-opening of competition for specific contracts above EUR 60,000.00, for which all contractors will be invited to compete on the basis of the same or, if necessary, more precisely formulated terms. The objective conditions for the award of specific contracts through reopening of competition are specified in section 18.2 of Annex A (Tender Specifications).

Framework contracts involve no direct commitment and do not constitute orders per se. Instead, they laid down the legal, financial, technical and administrative provisions concerning the relationship of the contracting authority and the contractors during their periods of validity.
