Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe City of Krakow is purchasing two-year VMware Cloud Foundation subscriptions (SKU VCF-CLD-FND) covering 1,304 processor cores for the virtualization environment operated by the Krakow CityHall. The subscriptions are supplied under the manufacturer's unified licensing model and apply to a single virtualization environment, ensuring a uniform validity period and consistent scope of entitlements. The contract is not divided into lots and partial offers are not allowed, since the subscriptions form one indivisible product that must be assigned to the same environment. Suppliers compete solely on price for an identical product with fixed parameters specified by VMware.
