Acquisition of services

This contract concerns acquisition of maintenance and support to DALO's HP test platform. DALO's HP test platform includes software products from the Hewlett-packard Suite, such as HP ALM used for managing test throughout the application delivery lifecycle. DALO's HP test platform includes the following software: HP QC enterprise integrator for SAP, HP QC Ent Site 5 CC Usr Pk SW, HP QC Ent Site USR SW, HP FT Site CC Usr ExistCust SW.

See II.1.4) Short description for more information.

The contract is not divided into lots on the grounds that a division of the contract would undermine the economies of scale obtainable by procuring one contract.

DALO has awarded the contract regarding maintenance and support services for DALO's HP test platform software, so DALO is able to acquire maintenance and support including bugfixes, patches, hotfixes, versions, upgrades and support for the HP test platform software. DALO has conducted a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice because maintenance and support to HP test platform software only can be supplied by one particular economic operator because the 1 particular economic operator has the rights to deliver maintenance and support. DALO has therefore awarded the contract regarding maintenance and support to Entco Denmark ApS.

DALO has awarded the contract to Entco Denmark ApS because:

Entco Denmark ApS is the only economic operator that has the rights to deliver maintenance and support to DALO's HP test platform software. Entco Denmark ApS is a wholly owned subsidiary of micro focus international PLC who has the sole intellectual property rights based on copy rights and patents for the HP test platform software to be supported. DALO has furthermore conducted a tender with an open procedure to ensure competition of the maintenance and support services delivered under the contract. DALO did not receive any offers within tender deadline and DALO is not aware that any other economic operator than Entco Denmark ApS can do, deliver or resell maintenance and support of the HP test platform software.

DALO consider Entco Denmark ApS to be the only economic operator which is why the contract can be awarded in accordance with the Danish Public Procurement Act § 80 clause 3. paragraph 3.
