Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Dutch railway operator NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) intends to award a framework agreement covering service design and UX design services. Through this tender, NS wants to contract three (3) suppliers for the framework agreement. The framework will allow NS to respond flexibly to its design needs by issuing further assignments in the form of result-based assignments. Depending on the nature and scale of a project, this enables NS to choose an appropriate and efficient solution, drawing on the contracted suppliers for individual follow-on assignments under the framework. The procurement relates to systems advisory services within enterprise architecture, specifically service design and user experience design support.
