Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Estonian Language Institute intends to award a framework contract with a single service provider for maintenance work and user support for the Translation Gateway software. The contract runs for up to 48 months from signature or until the maximum volume is used. The estimated contract value for the period is 1,000,000 EUR, with a maximum possible total of 3,000,000 EUR excluding VAT. Work includes software maintenance paid by a monthly fee, additional software development work ordered at an hourly rate, user support paid by a monthly fee, and additional consultation services for partners and users at an hourly rate. The framework contract does not oblige the contracting authority to order fee-based or hourly-based work if budgetary resources or need are lacking.
