# Framework agreement for the VMware reseller competition

Dataport AöR is procuring a four-year framework for Broadcom software licences, maintenance and related services. The notice states one framework participant, one lot and a price-only award criterion weighted 100%. The supplier must hold VMware Pinnacle partner status and master-service competencies in data-centre and network virtualisation. The public notice gives no numeric estimated value; it says the maximum is 150% of the awarded contract value, with the detailed calculation referenced to a pricing-sheet document that was not accessed. TED’s change notice says the buyer corrected the specifications and price sheet. The current TED PDF sets the tender deadline at 15 October 2026, 12:00 UTC+02 (10:00Z), differing from the available notice information deadline of 14 October, 22:00Z.
