07Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of this tender for IP Transit services?

The tender is intended for the retendering of existing framework agreements for upstream or IP Transit services. These services support National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) in Europe, the Mediterranean and wider regions in exchanging international IP traffic with customers of commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs) worldwide.

Which network requirements must the IP Transit providers meet?

GÉANT aims to select IP Transit providers with an Internet Protocol (IP) network that can reach every other network on the internet solely via settlement-free interconnection (settlement-free peering) and can reach all major networks on the internet. It concerns Tier-1 or near Tier-1 IP Transit providers.

What is the duration of the framework agreements?

The duration of the framework agreements is 8 years. This term is longer than the standard 4-year period and is justified due to the specific nature and objectives of the contract, where a longer duration is necessary to ensure continuity, efficiency, and value for money.
