About the bid

Assignment description

Veikkaus is about to procure a DevOps platform to cover a tooling needed in the software development lifecycle. Veikkaus has been using self-managed Gitlab as its main tool in software development, source code management, CI/CD and automation. Veikkaus' existing CI/CD platform is based entirely on GitLab's proprietary technology. Replacing this platform would require a complete migration of thousands of projects, CI/CD pipelines, and integrated tools, representing an unreasonable and disproportionate cost and operational risk. Therefore, for reasons of technical compatibility and to protect the Veikkaus' existing investment, only GitLab licenses and Gitlab services are compatible. The subject of the procurement is described in more detail in the request for tender and its appendices, especially in Annexes 1 and 2 Descriptions of the Subject of Procurements. Procurement has been divided for two (2) different lots and have two (2) separate agreements: 1) Gitlab service 2) Gitlab software / licenses. One supplier can be selected for both lots.
