BZK - Amendment agreement regarding KOOP hosting infrastructure
The Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK) is requesting an amendment agreement for the hosting infrastructure of KOOP. The original contractor must provide additional services to ensure the continuity of statutory publications. The original contract term ends on 19 October 2023; an extension of up to a maximum of € 1,000,000 (incl. VAT) is possible. An amendment is necessary because a new EU procurement and migration to another infrastructure provider is not feasible within 6 months. A change of contractor would lead to interruptions, high costs, additional personnel requirements, and technical risks. The total value of the original contract is € 11,050,000 excl. VAT, with a possible price increase of up to 50%. The tender is public and concerns services.
