The contest concerns entry into an agreement for the maintenance of the contracting authority's existing licences, annual renewal of the licences, supplementary purchases if needed to increase the same licences, and purchasing advice on annual renewal and management of the licence agreements. The procurement will also cover upgrading of existing licences, e.g. if the contracting authority wants to move from a licence with set functionality to a licence with extended functionality within the same product area during the contract period. All this will be covered by the tenderer's offered mark-up percentages as stated in the price form.

See appendix - 1 the Requirements Specification for further details on the system.
