Supply, installation and commissioning of two AI servers

Summary

The procurement is for the purchase, delivery, installation and commissioning of two NVIDIA DGX B300 AI servers, or equivalent systems, for the NCT West campus in Essen. The servers must integrate with the existing NVIDIA DGX cluster environment. The price must include five years of next-business-day hardware support with on-site service, manufacturer support and mandatory media retention: faulty drives remain with the customer, and replacement drives are supplied without requiring the old drives to be returned. The work includes delivery, installation of both servers in prepared 19-inch racks, connection and start-up, verification of technical specifications, basic cluster-integration configuration, documentation and a handover record. A bidder offering an equivalent system must prove compliance with the technical specification. The bid must include a price schedule, configuration description and detailed technical datasheet, as well as company details and the required declarations. The submission deadline is 28 October 2026 at 12:00, and bids must be submitted electronically through the procurement portal. Alternative bids are not permitted. Price is the sole award criterion; the lowest total-priced bid wins, with a draw in case of a tie.
