📋 Tender Overview
Contract awarded for Announcement of voluntary transparency in advance for the juice landscape lot-0000, title: announcement of voluntary prior transparency for the sap landscape, description: announcement of voluntary prior transparency for the sap landscape twence b.v. intends to continue the agreement for the management, maintenance, and further development of its sap landscape with the current contractor. the sap landscape of twence includes, among other things, the modules sd, mrs, pm, ariba, mm, fi, co, po/pi, sap basis, hrm, various operational connections, and multiple company-specific interfaces with primary business processes. it contains a large number of custom configurations, company-specific interfaces, process connections, and historically developed management agreements that have been developed and maintained by the current contractor over a number of years. the technical documentation of this is only partially standardized and available. therefore, for a new service provider, a comprehensive knowledge transfer and validation process would be necessary before the service can be continued at an acceptable quality level. twence has investigated whether a change of service provider in the short term represents a realistic alternative. it has been established that a transition to another party would lead to extensive transition work, significant implementation and migration costs, and substantial risks for the continuity of business operations. the estimated transition costs amount to over €1.4 million and include costs for knowledge transfer, migration, project management, double management and licensing costs during a retention period, contractual conversions, additional internal capacity, training, and the reorganization of management processes. in addition, a change of supplier would be accompanied by a prolonged transfer period during which knowledge of the specific twence environment would need to be rebuilt. during this period, increased risks arise for the availability, security, and manageability of business-critical systems and processes. disruptions can have direct consequences for the support of primary business operations and the operational processes of twence. considering: 1. the far-reaching technical intertwining of the service with the existing sap landscape; 2. the substantial and demonstrable transition costs; 3. the serious risks for continuity, availability, and manageability of business-critical processes; twence is of the opinion that the continuation of the service by the current contractor is necessary and that a change of supplier at this time would lead to disproportionately high technical, operational, and economic disadvantages. for this reason, twence intends to award the contract privately to the current contractor. this announcement is published to implement a voluntary prior transparency, so that interested market parties can take note of this intention and, if desired, express their objections. interested parties who cannot agree with this intention must have served a summons in summary proceedings to twence no later than twenty calendar days after the publication of this announcement. this can be done by email to s.yanguc@twence.nl, attention to ms. s. yanguc. the objection must at least contain: the name and contact details of the interested party; a substantiation showing that the interested party is actually willing and able to provide the requested service; an explanation of why, in the opinion of the interested party, there is no justification for the intended contracting of the current suppliers. if no summons is served within this period, the interested party concerned forfeits their rights to contest the intended award. estimated value excluding vat: none .Announcement of voluntary transparency in advance for the juice landscape
