06Frequently asked questions

What is the term of the agreement for the ArcGIS software and support?

The agreement has a term of three years, running from 15 December 2025 up to and including 14 December 2028.

Why was a negotiated procedure without prior publication chosen?

Due to ESRI's exclusive intellectual property rights and the technical integration with TenneT's existing OneERP environment, no competition is possible for the required software and services.

What is the scope of the assignment regarding the ArcGIS environment?

The assignment includes the delivery of ArcGIS software licenses, associated maintenance & support and advice for the existing GIS system, which has been optimized over several years.

What technical risks are associated with replacing the current GIS system?

Replacement would lead to substantial additional costs and investments for the redevelopment of interfaces, spatial data models, reporting structures and integrations with operational systems.
