This contract notice includes also a Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA) for 15 years. Even though the (combined) contractual objects are divided into “supplies“ and “LTSA“ it is common practice in the industry sector to consider the economic efficiency as a whole. Therefore, the decision about the economically most advantageous solution in the tendering procedure will be based on the overall economic efficiency of a tender on both “supplies” and “LTSA”. Thus, a division into single lots would make no economic sense. Tender documents will provide further details on this.
