Everything that is meant to be used in or in close connection with a modern server room/computer centre will be included in the dynamic procurement system.
The system will be split into 2 categories:
Category 1: Equipment for a computer centre.
— Rack,
— Servers, sheet boxes, hyper-converged systems, etc,
— Storage units and back-up systems,
— Switches, routers, network equipment and network cables, firewalls, load balancers, database, appliance boxes, etc,
— Software for operating a server room and equipment in or connected to server rooms,
— Electricity systems and electricity cables, typically UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and PDU (power distribution unit),
— Cooling systems/cooling units and accompanying equipment in the room,
— Sensors (e.g. water, humidity and temperature) and other monitoring equipment suitable for a server room/computer centre,
— Other equipment that has a close connection with the establishment, operation or maintenance of a server room/computer centre,
— Assistance, support, assembly/installation of components and modules procured under the system.
Category 2: Services.
— Consultancy services for planning, calculations and general advice for the establishment of and changes to a server room/computer centre,
— Consultancy services for recommendations and guidance as regards the procurement of equipment for a server room/computer centre,
— Consultancy services for migrating or moving from one computer centre to another and/or expansion from one computer centre to several.
Note that participation in some competitions within category 2 can disqualify tenderers from participation in some later competitions in category 1. This will typically apply if the service is assistance with planning and specifying later procurements.
Further information on the actual system is in the tender documentation, point 1.4.
