01What is being requested
The assignment concerns the provision of a central 'traffic controller' function for data and editorial content via an API, divided into two lots: Lot 1 for the unlocking and standardizing of editorial content, and Lot 2 for Storage (and optional distribution). The solution must lay the foundation for standardization, exchange, and enrichment of content between local, regional, and national broadcasters.
NLPO wishes to achieve the following objectives with this tender, specifically through the fulfillment of both lots: 1. A solution for the unlocking and standardizing of editorial content from local broadcasters, with possibilities for exchange and enrichment between regional broadcasters, other public layers, and partners. This solution forms the data link for the regional broadcasters that exchanges with the existing data layers of the regional broadcasters and the NOS (lot 1), and 2. A secure centralized storage of editorial content for all regional broadcasters (lot 2); 3. Both solutions

Ensure an integral plan for management, scalability, and security (Zero Trust, IAM), as these are core components of the award criteria.
