Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe contracting authority procures the supply of 7 server configurations for the needs of CAIS EOP. Detailed technical requirements are set out in Annex 1, the buyer's technical specification. Delivery of the equipment must be completed within 30 working days from the date the buyer sends notice that funding has been secured and the contractor has provided the required performance guarantee under the draft contract. The warranty period runs according to the bidder's offer, counted from the handover protocol for the equipment or the registration date in the manufacturer's portal, whichever occurs first. Bidders that are not the manufacturer must be duly authorised by the manufacturer or its official representative for distribution of the offered hardware in Bulgaria.
