Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe contracting authority intends to conclude a framework agreement with several companies for the supply of virtualisation alternatives and corresponding services. The offer covers basic virtualisation, containers and Kubernetes, software defined networking and storage, private cloud, monitoring and logging, as well as service components. The procurement is divided into lots, and each provider party to the framework agreement is to offer the products of one manufacturer per lot. The number of framework contracting partners is not limited, and the discounts offered per manufacturer are evaluated against each other. A framework agreement with several contractors is concluded per lot, forming the basis for further individual orders, which are generally awarded following a mini-competition.

Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €41,675,160

Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.
