Framework agreement for the procurement of telecom services and related services for DSS.
DSS currently has a telephony contract with an existing provider for landline and mobile telephony. The existing contract expires in April 2017 and DSS would like to use this procurement to sign a new framework agreement with a tenderer for the provision of telephony services.
Telephony is an important work tool for DSS and the other entities in the joint ministries. There are high requirements for security, quality and service availability, both for normal daily use and in times of crisis and stand-by. DSS has, thus, a need to enter into a new contract with a tenderer who can provide secure and stable access to the mobile and landline network.
The procurement of mobile terminals and landline telephones with the relevant accessories is not included in this contract.
The agreement must give flexibility in connection to changes of costs resulting from changes in user patterns and service scope.
Further specifications of the functional requirements will be in the tender documentation.
The contract shall provide flexibility as regards changes of costs resulting from changes in user patterns and the service scope.
DSS is the contract party. In addition the contract will apply for the ministries who would like to join the contract. A description of these is in the attached documentation. Other entities in the joint ministries, including the Prime Minister"s Office (SMK), the Office of the Attorney General, the Ministry of Defence and NORAD, shall have an option to join all or parts of this contract at any time in the contract or option period, on the same terms as for DSS.
The contract is for two years. In addition the contracting authority has an option to extend the contract for a further on year at a time twice, so that the maximum length of the framework agreement is four years.
