The core scope of work for this tender involves the further development and generalization of a technology-agnostic platform for demonstrators. The contractor is expected to provide software development services to expand and generalize the existing platform. This platform is designed to facilitate the provision, management, and evaluation of various software-based demonstrators and technology components, allowing partners and customers controlled access to technologies for testing and evaluation. The primary objective is to ensure rapid availability of new or enhanced functions while minimizing integration and operational efforts for partners and customers.

The core deliverables include "Programmierleistungen" (programming services) and the transfer of all "Ergebnisse" (results) to Fraunhofer IIS, which are defined as all insights, developed objects, or documents created, obtained, found, recorded, or embodied during the project, along with all associated rights. The services are to be rendered between November 15, 2026, and November 14, 2028, with an option for a 24-month extension. The work involves tasks related to platform, integration, deployment, or SDK implementation, potentially utilizing technologies such as Python, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, Helm, and Terraform.
