The aim of this project is to provide support and maintenance for our IT systems, to include both end users and servers.

It has been decided not to divide this contract into lots. This is because (i) the need to coordinate the different contractors for the lots could seriously risk undermining the proper execution of this contract and (ii) such division could risk rendering the contract excessively complex, making it technically difficult to deliver
