Purchase of a subscription to the Vmware virtualization system used at the Krakow City Hall

The Krakow Municipality - Krakow City Hall in Poland from Europe region has released this tender for 1. The subject of the order is the purchase of a subscription for the VMware virtualization system used by the Krakow City Hall. A detailed description of the subject of the order is included in the contract template, which constitutes Appendix 9 to the Terms of Reference (hereinafter: STC). 2. The Ordering Party does not divide the order into lots in this procedure and does not allow for the submission of partial bids. The Ordering Party has not divided the order into lots because the subject of the order involves the purchase of two-year VMware Cloud Foundation subscriptions (SKU: VCF-CLD-FND) for 1304 processor cores, constituting a single and indivisible product offered by VMware. The subscriptions are delivered under the manufacturer's uniform licensing model and apply to a single virtualization environment operated by the Krakow City Hall. Splitting the order into lots would have no technical or organizational justification, as all subscriptions must be assigned to the same environment and ensure a uniform validity period and consistent scope of entitlements. A potential division of the contract could lead to unjustified difficulties in subscription management, billing, and vendor support, as well as increase the risk of inconsistencies in terms of subscription validity periods or subscription assignment to the Ordering Party's environment. Furthermore, splitting the contract would not contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the tender, as the subject matter of the contract covers the delivery of standard VMware subscriptions with pre-defined parameters, and contractors compete solely on price for an identical product. Considering the nature of the subject matter of the contract, its homogeneity, the manufacturer's requirements regarding the licensing model, and the need to ensure consistency and continuity of the virtualization environment, the Ordering Party has determined that splitting the contract into lots would be unjustified. Refraining from splitting the contract into lots does not preclude small and medium-sized enterprises from participating in the tender. 3.
