This tender seeks the delivery, implementation, commissioning, and operational handover of a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) platform, encompassing essential VMware/Broadcom licenses such as VCF Subscription, vDefend, Avi Load Balancer, Data Services Manager, and Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA.

Implementation services are required over a 24-month period, with subscription and support services extending for 48 months from October 30, 2026, to October 29, 2030.

Bidders must affirm financial solvency, absence of insolvency proceedings, and compliance with all legal obligations for social security contributions and taxes.
