Norway – Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment – Framework agreement for network equipment and security with accompanying licences

The Contracting Authority needs a framework agreement for the purchase of network equipment, firewall, fixing equipment, accompanying cables, as well as consultants for error recovery and configuration. The agreement also includes the procurement of licences for the accompanying equipment if the contracting authority needs to procure it during the contract period, both EA licences for those using this, and individual licences and service agreements. The contracting authority ́s participants in the procurement have different ways of handling licences for network equipment. Some of the participants have an EA-agreement with Cisco and therefore do not procure a licence with the equipment. Other participants purchase both equipment and licences simultaneously. The competition is being held as network equipment is priced without a licence, and some selected accompanying licences and service agreements will be priced separately. The contracting authority can, during the contract period, wish to procure a network as a service for individual locations. This shall not be included in this agreement. See the tender documentation for further details.
