Summary
Machine-generated summaryThis public procurement covers subscription maintenance and the purchase of BitDefender GravityZone Ultra software licences for endpoint detection and response (EDR). The contract includes extending the validity of 2,500 existing BitDefender GravityZone Ultra licences for a period of 24 months, and purchasing 100 new BitDefender GravityZone Ultra licences, also for a period of 24 months. The supply therefore secures continued protection for 2,500 endpoints while adding capacity for 100 additional endpoints over the same two-year term, all under the GravityZone Ultra cybersecurity solution.

As the official award notices state them, over the last 3 years. Tenders per lot count open and restricted procedures only: in a negotiated procedure or a direct award a single tender is the procedure itself. The country is the one the notice gives for the winner.
One dot per award, on the day it was signed, sized by its value. A ring is an award with no published value.
