ICT Hardware
The Dutch public broadcaster NOS has announced a framework agreement for ICT hardware. The contract concerns the supply of various hardware components, including servers, storage devices, network, and security equipment, which comply with government technical and security standards. The contract is non-public, meaning only pre-selected suppliers can participate. The framework agreement offers flexibility regarding delivery volumes and lead times, with a focus on reliability, scalability, and compatibility with existing NOS infrastructure. Suppliers must meet strict requirements regarding quality, security, energy efficiency, and support, including maintenance, warranty, and technical documentation. The agreement is intended to ensure the continuity of NOS's digital services and to strengthen the technological foundation for future innovations.
