Beskrivelse af udbuddet
DR’s STRATEGIC GOAL AND BACKGROUND: The media consumption habits are changing towards digital platforms. As a result, DR has made it a strategic goal to deliver the same quality and service on the digital platforms as delivered on the traditional broadcast platforms. The market in which DR operates is under radical transformation. Presented with new kinds of digital products and services, the audience expect to access content in different ways - whenever they want, wherever they are, on whatever device. As DR wants to present a competitive digital offering, with a quality and service comparable to that delivered by DR in the traditional broadcast media, DR needs to have a strong focus on meeting these new expectations, as they are an inherent part of the digital experience. To do this DR needs to utilize usage and performance data: to obtain a better understanding of the user and of how DR products are used, to make faster and better data driven decisions to optimize CDN delivery for the end-user, help developer optimize playback and help in end-user support with error/bugs handling reported by the end-users.
KEY FIGURES: The following figures describe DR’s current streaming (video and radio) operations in numbers.
• Million viewing hours per month: appx 27 million (20M. for TV and 7M. for radio)
• Monthly million play/ view attempts: approx.. 150 million.
• Year-on-year average and peak bandwidth growth: approx. 20%
• Record 2021 Peak streaming bandwidth: 3,2 Tbps
• Normal Daily peak streaming bandwidth: 0,5 Tbps
• Video plays per day 3.5 million
• Video plays during normal peak hour: 621,000
• Radio plays during normal peak hour: 60,200
• Live streaming radio channels: 30
• Live streaming TV channels: 3 + 3 event channels (24-7)
• Live streaming Ad hoc channels + Accessibility approximately 20.
• Traffic delivered in Denmark: 95, and 5% “rest of the world”
DR's KEY SUCCES PARAMETERS FOR A SUCCESFUL DELIVERY OF THE SOLUTION: For the successful delivery of a competitive digital offering, for a QoE Solution, DR will be focusing on the below listed key strategic goals which the Supplier are to meet:
• A highly stable service with a high degree of resilience and stability in term of usage
• A Solution which can scale depending on the usage of the Solution. This includes scaling during peak-periods
• To provide DR with deep insight to the users of DR services and which quality they experience
• To provide a fast and reliable service and support
• An attractive cost-model providing the ability for DR to grow and fulfil the goals of offering a high-quality service to the users
LOTS: DR has assessed that there is a strong coherence between the services needed to fulfil DR’s requirements, and therefore the services are not suited for division. Therefore, the tender is not divided into lots.

Betingelser for deltagelse (tekniske og faglige kvalifikationer)
“Solutions of a similar nature and capacity” means a QoE solution implemented and operated for a entity in which data for both video and radio (live and on-demand) has been implemented in a single Solution. The media entity can be both a public service media entity (publicly or privately owned) or a fully commercial privately owned entity. The references must not be older than 3 (three) years based on the deadline for receipt of bids cf. clause 4 above. This means that the reference may have begun earlier than (3) three years prior to the deadline, but it must not have been completed earlier than (3) three years prior to the deadline. The references should be in a form where DR clearly can derive that the Tenderer have provided a Service of similar nature and capacity. This is fulfilled by clearly describing the below listed elements. Accordingly, a reference should include A-D. The references should also include a description of E where the references show implementation of the Solution in the listed players. One reference can include more than one player integration. All E.1-E.3 should be described across the minimum three (3) references.
A) The economic value of the contract, dates for start and end of the contract, and the name of the customer organization (If for confidentiality reasons the Tenderer cannot disclose the name of the customer organization a generic description will suffice e.g., “medium-size fully commercial and privately owned media entity established in Italy”.
B) A description of how the Tenderer has implemented the proposed Service in the reference organization focusing on configuration, metrics, alerts etc.
C) A description of the platforms that the Solution has been integrated into.
D) A description of the handling of the monthly capacity and demand for real-time data preferably like DR’s capacity.
E) A description of the integration into video and audio players in the organization including description of player types e.g., native, custom.
E.1. One reference must show implementation of the Solution in SmartTV (HbbTV)
E.2. One reference must show implementation of the Solution in AppleTV
E.3. Two references must show implementation of the Solution on iOS and Android
The references must be in accordance with the Danish Public Procurement Act article 155(1)(2). The references must be listed in the ESPD document. If information cannot be disclosed for confidentiality reasons, this must be indicated. If DR is in doubt as to whether a reference fulfils the requirements mentioned above, DR will – to the extent possible i.e., without compromising the basic procurement law principles of equal treatment and transparency – seek the necessary clarification by contacting the Tenderer. If DR is prevented from assessing a reference’s relevance or scope due to confidentiality reasons or any other reasons, the reference will not be considered. In case a Tenderer include more than five references, only the first five references that are listed in the ESPD will be included in the assessment or based on the timestamp of the uploaded ESPD’s.

VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION IN THE ESPD:
Before DR's decision to award the contract, DR must demand that the Tenderer, which DR intends to award the contract to, present documentation for the information stated in the ESPD. The documentation concerns the requirements made for the Tenderer's personal affairs (exclusion grounds cf. the Tender Conditions section 9.2) and financial and technical capacity (suitability cf. the Tender Conditions section 9.3). If the presented documentation is not adequate, DR will declare the bid non-compliant. DR will then assess if DR wants to cancel the procurement procedure or ask the Tenderer that has submitted the second best bid, under the award criterion in clause 9.5, to present documentation for the information given in the ESPD for the purpose of awarding the contract to this Tenderer. If the documentation is not sufficient, DR will again assess if the procurement procedure should be cancelled or if the third Tenderer should be requested to submit documentation, and so on.
Businesses registered in Denmark: As documentation regarding the exclusion grounds, DR will demand that a service certificate is produced from the winning Tenderer (according to section 153(1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act). The obtained service certificate must contain the following:
• Information that the winning Tenderer as a business has complied with its obligations to the public as regards payment of taxes, charges and contributions to social security schemes,
• Information that the winning Tenderer as a business is not in bankruptcy, liquidation, restructuring or a similar situation, and
• Information that the winning Tenderer as a business (and managerial staff and persons having authorisation to represent, control or make decisions in the management of the business) has not been sentenced for any crimes.
DR accepts Danish service certificate until 6 months after they are issued. In addition to the service certificate, DR will require the Tenderer to document his financial capacity by submitting (extracts from the) annual accounts for the last 3 years or statement(s) from a registered auditor cf. section 154 of the Public Procurement Act.
European businesses: For businesses registered in a European country, the documentation must comply with the applicable rules for documentation in the country in which the Tenderer is established. European countries can make use of eCertis, which is an information system that helps businesses with identifying which documentation (including certificates) is required in the tender procedures across the EU. Please be aware that eCertis is a reference tool and not a system for legal advice. There is no guarantee that the results of the search in eCertis complies with what is required by DR.
Non-European businesses: For businesses not registered in a European country, the documentation must follow the rules for documentation implemented in the country in which the Tenderer is established. Non-European businesses cannot use eCertis.
NOTIFICATION OF THE RESULT OF DR's EVALUYATION OF THE BIDS:
All participants in the procurement procedure will be informed simultaneously and in writing of the result of DR's evaluation of the bids. The notification to the winning Tenderer that its bid has been identified as the winning bid, is a declaration that DR intends to award and thus conclude an agreement with said Tenderer. There is no binding agreement or a promise to that effect until the contract has been signed by both parties. The contract is signed immediately after expiry of the stand-still period, unless during this period an official complaint is submitted to the Public Contracts Appeals Board. DR does not consider the procurement procedure completed until the contract has been signed.
Notification about the result of the procurement procedure will also be announced in the Official Journal of the European Communities in compliance with applicable rules to that effect.
