Single-party framework agreement in respect of VMWare Licensing Renewal.

Tender description

Dublin City Council wishes to establish a single-party framework agreement in respect of VMWare Licensing Renewal. The duration of the framework agreement will be 1 year with an option to extend for a further 1 year subject to performance and budgetary constraints. In establishing this framework agreement, Dublin City Council is acting as a lead buyer on behalf of selected Dublin Region Local Authorities, which are Dublin City Council, South Dublin County Council and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council . These local authorities will be named framework purchasers and any contracts entered into pursuant to the framework agreement will be strictly between that local authority and the framework operator. There is no obligation whatsoever on either of these local authorities to award any contract under the framework agreement. Such a decision will be a matter solely for the local authority in question. Each of the Dublin Region Local Authorities may elect to participate within the framework at any stage within the contract timeframe. Dublin City Council will not be responsible for brokering an agreement between the successful tenderer and the other Dublin Region Local Authorities should they decide to participate in the framework agreement.
