TENDER DESCRIPTION
This tender seeks a qualified contractor for the provision of time-limited, non-person-bound GitLab software licenses, including GitLab Premium, Ultimate, and specific Add-Ons such as GitLab Duo Pro, GitLab Duo Enterprise, and GitLab Enterprise Agile Planning, along with comprehensive maintenance and support services for the remaining federal administration. Key technical requirements include maintaining a minimum GitLab "Open Partner" status, providing software licenses via an on-premises variant, ensuring all documentation and support are available in German, and adhering to strict accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG 2.1, EN 301 549) and electronic invoicing standards (EN 16931 via Peppol network). Bidders must demonstrate a total net turnover of at least EUR 1,500,000.00 per business year for the last three consecutive years. The framework agreement will span one year with up to three optional one-year extensions, totaling a maximum duration of four years, with individual call-off deliveries required within seven working days and a minimum 12-month contract duration for core licenses and add-ons, based on an estimated quantity of 49,116 licenses.
TENDER BRIEF
The contract timeline is as follows:
- Contract Start Date: The start of the framework agreement, and thus the start of the service, is the date of the award.
- Total Duration: The service period is one year, with a maximum of three options to extend the service period by one additional year each (1+1+1+1). The total maximum duration of the framework agreement is four years.
- Key Milestones/Phases:
- Minimum Contract Duration (MVD): For specific items like "Jahreslizenz: GitLab Ultimate" and various "Paid Add-On" products (GitLab Duo Pro, GitLab Duo Enterprise, GitLab Enterprise Agile Planning), a minimum contract duration of 12 (likely months) is specified, calculated from the agreed start of the usage period.
- Individual Call-offs: Deliveries for individual orders must be completed and fully functional within 7 working days after receipt of the order, unless a different delivery time is specified in the individual call-off contract. An order placed before the framework agreement expires remains valid until the service is fully rendered.

The core scope of work and statement of work summary for this tender primarily involves the provision of time-limited, non-person-bound GitLab software licenses. Specifically, this includes GitLab Premium and GitLab Ultimate, along with GitLab Add-Ons such as GitLab Duo Pro, GitLab Duo Enterprise, and GitLab Enterprise Agile Planning. These services encompass maintenance and support for specified federal agencies, including functionally equivalent successor products, but not newly developed software versions.
Key deliverables and responsibilities of the contractor include:
- Software Licensing and Provision: Providing annual licenses for GitLab Ultimate, GitLab Duo Pro, GitLab Duo Enterprise, and GitLab Enterprise Agile Planning.
- Maintenance Services: The provision of new program versions for the standard software, including patches, security patches, bugfix updates, upgrades, releases/versions, and the implementation of legal and other norm changes. Troubleshooting and the installation of new program versions are considered work services.
- Documentation: Documenting maintenance services in German, in an electronic format, including an overview of all provided and installed program versions, as well as accompanying documents like license certificates and keys. The right to reproduce documentation is also mentioned.
- Portal Maintenance: Ensuring the license portal is always kept up-to-date and maintained.
- Delivery: Complete and functional deliveries within 7 working days of an individual order, unless otherwise specified. The contractor also bears the risk of successful provision up to the technical handover point at the user's IT system.
- Information and Communication: Notifying the client of any consequences related to the intended use of the standard software when new program versions are provided.
- Catalog Data: Providing electronic catalog data of products in a standardized XML format (BMEcat 1.2) or a spreadsheet.
- Optional/Desirable Aspects: Promoting sustainable practices, such as energy-efficient use of software/hardware, operation with green electricity, sustainable raw material management, and digitalization of work steps.
