About This Opportunity

Translated

This tender concerns a framework agreement for the procurement and delivery of foreign-published printed and electronically created non-periodical publications that are not directly available in Hungary. The agreement will be in effect from 2026 to 2029, with a total framework value of HUF 150,000,000, plus a 20% purchase option. The contracting authority commits to a call-off obligation of 70% of the framework amount. The estimated quantity is approximately 5,000 items. While the contracting authority provides estimated quantities, there is no commitment to procure the exact numbers; this information serves as a guideline for the scale of the procurement. The contracting authority reserves the right to deviate from these quantities during the contract period and can initiate orders until the framework amount is exhausted. Individual order quantities are not predetermined but could potentially involve up to 280 publications simultaneously. The scope includes foreign scientific, professional, and literary publications, including series and individual print runs, author-published works not available through retail channels, conference materials, and older editions acquired through antiquarian channels or directly from publishers/distributors if still available. The winning bidder will be responsible for sourcing and delivering these documents, which relate to the scientific and research fields taught and studied by the contracting authority's organizational units and libraries, based on individual orders.

This is a supplies contract in the general supplies and media and communication sectors, with a focus on Printing and Publishing. Located in Hungary, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of HUF 150.0 million.

Description

Auto-translated from hu

Purchase framework agreement for printed and electronically created (non-periodical) publications of foreign origin, not directly available in Hungary, for the period 2026–2029, with delivery to specific sites of the Contracting Authority. Framework amount: HUF 150,000,000 + 20% purchase option. The Contracting Authority undertakes to call off 70% of the framework amount. Approximate quantity: 5000 units. The Contracting Authority provides planned quantities but does not undertake to call off the specified quantities, only provides information on the approximate amount. The Contracting Authority may deviate from the specified quantities during the term of the framework agreement and may initiate orders until the framework amount is exhausted. The quantity of individual orders cannot be determined in advance, but it may include the simultaneous ordering of up to 280 publications. Brief description: Purchase framework agreement for printed and electronically created (non-periodical) publications of foreign origin, not directly available in Hungary or from Hungarian distributors, including scientific and professional publications, fiction series and individual prints, or author's editions not released for sale, or publications appearing at conferences, or new publications available from publishers, or old editions no longer directly available from publishers or their distributors, typically accessible through antiquarian booksellers, and other professional documents (any non-periodical publication created by reproduction – except electronic). Delivery to specific sites of the Contracting Authority. Tasks to be performed: The successful bidder shall be responsible for procuring, based on individual orders, professional and scientific publications, as well as fiction, of foreign origin, series and individual prints, including author's editions not released for sale, related to the fields of science taught and researched by the Contracting Authority, for its various organizational units and libraries, and for delivering them to specific sites of the Contracting Authority within the agreed delivery deadlines. The Contracting Authority may also request the procurement of promotional documents. The documents to be procured by the Contracting Authority include both new editions available from publishers or Hungarian distributors, and old editions no longer directly available from publishers or their distributors, typically accessible through antiquarian booksellers. Therefore, the Contracting Authority considers any document accessible through an antiquarian bookseller as one that is no longer directly available from the publisher or its distributor. The proportion of publications accessible through antiquarian booksellers is approximately 5–10% of the total procurement, and the proportion of new editions is 90–95%. The Contracting Authority conducts scientific education and research activities in the following fields, and the procurement and delivery of related publications are the responsibility of the bidder. • Humanities: undergraduate and master's levels; doctoral studies • Economics: undergraduate and master's levels; higher vocational training; doctoral studies • Informatics: undergraduate and master's levels; higher vocational training; doctoral studies • Law: undergraduate and master's levels; doctoral studies • Engineering sciences: undergraduate and master's levels (mechanical engineering) • Arts: undergraduate and master's levels • Educational sciences, special needs education: undergraduate and master's levels; doctoral studies • Teacher training: undergraduate and master's levels; vocational training (including final examination) • Psychology: undergraduate and master's levels; doctoral studies • Sports sciences: undergraduate and master's levels • Social sciences: undergraduate and master's levels; doctoral studies • Natural and life sciences: undergraduate and master's levels; doctoral studies The bidder shall also be responsible for the procurement of publications appearing at individual scientific conferences and symposia, based on ad hoc, urgent orders from the Contracting Authority...
