Editing environment, related storage & support
The Dutch public broadcaster NOS has a tender for the replacement of the entire editing environment, including the associated storage and support. The project concerns the hardware and software of the edit suites, the storage infrastructure, and the associated maintenance and support services. The procurement is conducted via a negotiated procedure without prior publication, meaning the contracting authority negotiates directly with selected suppliers. The focus is on an integrated solution that seamlessly connects to current workflows, high availability, scalability, and a robust backup strategy. Suppliers must demonstrate experience with large media production environments, be able to meet data integrity requirements, and provide a clear service level agreement (SLA). The transition must take place without interruption to production, including a detailed migration plan and training for users. The total investment includes both the purchase of new hardware/software and the implementation and long-term maintenance.
