Veeam Backup System License Renewal and Consolidation

The University of Hildesheim is seeking a supplier to renew and consolidate their existing Veeam backup system licenses. Practically, this means providing the appropriate licenses for all protected systems, potentially involving a review and streamlining of current license allocation. Depending on the University's existing setup, this could involve migrating licenses between hosts or merging multiple Veeam installations into a more centralized configuration. The deadline for submissions is April 17, 2026.

The absence of published CPV codes makes it difficult to definitively categorize the tender. However, given the IT focus, suppliers specializing in software licensing and virtualization infrastructure are likely to be best positioned. While the description suggests potential system consolidation, it's unclear whether this involves extensive implementation work or solely license management. The lack of a published value makes it essential to thoroughly investigate the scope of existing Veeam infrastructure to determine potential pricing.

Contractors should note the limited time between publication and deadline. It's crucial to assess the size and complexity of the University's IT environment to determine the necessary licensing requirements and the potential for value-added consolidation services before committing to a bid. Consider the potential need to engage with University IT personnel to clarify details about the existing Veeam deployment.
