What the buyer is looking for
A dynamic purchasing system for the procurement of high-performance computing and clustering equipment. You can always sign up for the DAS, at the moment that there is an assignment it will be switched off among the authorised suppliers. By submitting the questionnaires and the requested data, you can be admitted to the dynamic purchasing system. If you have already registered in the previous expired DAS, you must register here again. The value is an estimated value based on the turnover in the previous DAS, which was on average slightly below €200,000 ex. VAT per year. This average annual turnover is taken over four years. However, no rights can be derived from this estimate. The duration of the DAS in indefinite, without change of starting points or other (substantial) changes, the DAS will be maintained.
