During the execution of a specific contract, it is the Contractor’s responsibility<br />

(a) to make available the licences for the afore-mentioned tools that may be required to be<br />

used for setting up the development and test IT environments in the Contractor’s premises<br />

and<br />

(b) to install and configure the hardware and software needed in order to timely prepare the IT<br />

environments that must be setup at the Contractor’s premises during the implementation of<br />

the specific contracts.<br />

The Agency has the right to ask from the Contractor to use the latest version of any of the aforementioned<br />

tools.<br />

The Agency has the right to ask from the Contractor to use any other Open Source software or<br />

other free software tools.<br />

The <strong>Tender</strong>ers are required to provide a list of additional software tools that, if they are awarded a<br />

contract, they will make available free of charge for use in the IT environments built in their<br />

premises for the implementation of a specific contract.<br />

For this purpose, the <strong>Tender</strong>ers are requested to use the template of annex 5.14<br />

4.2.5 Tasks/activities<br />

The tasks/activities to be carried out by the Contractor as well as the relevant deliverables are<br />

described in the following sections. The description is indicative and non-exhaustive. The detailed<br />

list of the deliverables will be defined in the specific contracts.<br />

In most cases, the implementation of a specific contract will be organised in three work streams<br />

(which can be partly overlapping):<br />

• The takeover work stream<br />

• The support, maintenance and development work stream<br />

• The handover work stream<br />

<strong>ECHA</strong> will also define the extent to which these work streams will be followed (e.g. if a new specific<br />

contract starts to continue the work of a previous specific contract of this framework contract,<br />

<strong>ECHA</strong> may decide to skip the takeover work stream if the project team of the Contractor is the<br />

same in both specific contracts).<br />

During the execution of all work streams, the Contractor will ensure resource availability to cover<br />

the role of a Senior Architect (with skills of a Senior Architect, according to section 4.3.7) that will<br />

work with <strong>ECHA</strong> staff to ensure the work being executed by the Contractor is in alignment with the<br />

overall enterprise architecture of the Agency. The details of the work of this Architect will be defined<br />

in a specific contract.<br />

4.2.5.1 The takeover work stream<br />

Some or all of the following aspects of the work will be provided by <strong>ECHA</strong> during this work stream<br />

• Guidance to set up the development and testing environments<br />

• Decisions on the development tool chain and development related repositories<br />
