- Description:
-
The 4TU.Federation is a collaboration between the four universities of technology in the Netherlands, namely Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology, the University of Twente and Wageningen University & Research. The aim of the four universities is to further strengthen their position both nationally and internationally and thus strengthen the position of the Dutch knowledge economy. To this end, the universities cooperate in the areas of education, research and the application of knowledge.
Within the 4TU.Federation, 4TU.Centre for Research Data was established in 2008. It started, and remains, as an initiative of three technical universities, namely Eindhoven, Delft and Twente, despite the fact that the name 4TU.ResearchData suggests otherwise. The duties and responsibilities of each member of 4TU.ResearchData are laid down in a Consortium Agreement.
4TU.Federation has commissioned Delft University of Technology to execute this tender on behalf of 4TU.ResearchData as the contracting authority and contract owner.
4TU.Research Data requires a centrally-administered research data repository into which any researcher can deposit research data, along with descriptive metadata, in order to enable the storage, curation, discovery of, and access to, that data over long time periods (15 years+). The actual data storage will remain on servers of Delft University of Technology and is not part of this tender.
The goal of the procurement procedure is to award a contract to one supplier for the provision, implementation, maintenance and support of the research data repository system that will replace the current system of the 4TU.ResearchData archive.
The contracting authority is aiming for an agreement with one supplier for a period of three years, and then succeeded by two times an option for a subsequent extension of three years. The total maximum contract period is nine years.
