Web resource; Techniques de l’ingénieur for 3 years

This tender concerns the acquisition of a web-based resource titled 'Techniques de l’ingénieur' for a duration of three years, procured by École Polytechnique. The service is classified under Category S2 - Special studies and analyses; Statistical studies and analyses, although the title suggests a broader engineering knowledge base rather than purely statistical analysis. The procurement method is a negotiated contract, justified under Article 13, Paragraph 2°, which states that a single contractor is possible due to a guarantee, proprietary right, exclusive right, etc. This implies that 'Techniques de l’ingénieur' is a unique or proprietary resource, likely a specialized online engineering library or platform, for which École Polytechnique has identified only one potential provider. The institution requires access to this resource for its students, faculty, and researchers to support their academic and research activities in various engineering disciplines. The three-year subscription aims to ensure continuous access to valuable technical information and expertise. The rationale for a sole-source procurement highlights the exclusive nature of the resource and the need to secure access through the designated provider. Further details regarding the scope of access, specific content, and technical requirements will be provided in the complete tender documents issued by École Polytechnique.

This is a services contract in the information and communication technology and Research sectors, with a focus on Internet and Research Institutions. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
