Key phases or options related to the contract timeline include:

• The client is entitled to terminate the contract early once after three years, provided they give written notice at least three months before the end of the third year of the contract.

This extension must be communicated in writing to the contractor at least 3 months before the end of the contract term.

The core scope of work for this tender involves the procurement of personnel services related to Geo OpenSource solutions for Dataport. Dataport requires various personnel services for Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and associated process infrastructures, specifically focusing on common software components and OpenSource projects such as Masterportal, deegree, Geoserver, Mapserver, QGIS, GDAL, MapProxy, and LDProxy. The tender aims to establish a framework agreement from which specific personnel service needs can be called off.

The statement of work primarily covers personnel services, which are delivered upon request and verified through performance. Each call-off necessitates separate service descriptions and offers, based on the framework agreement. These call-offs can be billed based on effort, requiring detailed proof of performance, or through agreed-upon lump sums for work contract services. The successful partner is expected to provide independent and self-organized teams capable of covering all necessary organizational and technical aspects, working in close collaboration with Dataport.

Core deliverables and services include:

• Personnel services for the maintenance, development, and support of various Geo OpenSource technologies.
• Consulting, software development, internet, and support services (classified under IT services: 72000000-5).

• Maintenance and support for Civitas Core (Lot 8), including maintenance of Civitas Core as a HelmChart.
• Provision of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and a Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) assessment for the contractual software.

The tender outlines estimated and maximum person-hours for services related to deegree.pro, mapserverdeegree/community, geoserver (Cloud), LDProxy, XPlanBox, Masterportal, QGIS, and Civitas Core. There is no obligation for a minimum acceptance of services.
