The objective of this Invitation to Bid is to establish a framework agreement with ONE Company for the purchase of server solutions, support and its operational management for the WTO (i.e. server hardware, related software, accessories and spare parts).

The WTO seeks to agree with the Company on a list of standard products (which will be periodically updated to reflect the latest changes in technology and specifications) and the contractual terms regarding support level, warranty and other services.

WTO reserves the right to conduct periodic price benchmarking (e.g., annually). Where benchmark results show that contract prices exceed market rates by more than 10%, the Company shall adjust prices downward to market-aligned levels.
