Procurement

Realisation of the OCAPI MVP

In consultation with V-ICT-OR, the contracts for the development of all nine components/tracks of the OCAPI MVP were put out to tender via the tried and tested tender procedure Buy from start-ups of Digipolis. This is a 'light' tendering approach specifically aimed at involving small(er) innovative market players in contracts of Digipolis and combines the negotiated procedure without prior publication with some aspects of Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP). Buy from start-ups is a two-step procedure in which first suitable candidates for a contract are selected and then negotiations are conducted with the selected candidates who have submitted an offer. These negotiations result, whether or not via a Best and Final Offer (BAFO), in the award of the contract.

The contracts for the development of the nine components/tracks of the OCAPI MVP were awarded to the following suppliers:

• OCAPI Online to Studio Hyperdrive NV;
• OCAPI Workplace to Nubera BVBA;
• API Manager to NSX BVBA;
• Smart API Gateway to NSX BVBA;
• Identity Manager to Juru CVBA;
• OCAPI Online Portal to Studio Hyperdrive NV;
• Smart API Gateway optimisation to Devoteam NV;
• Identity Manager adjustment to Studio Hyperdrive NV;
• API Manager extension to NSX BVBA.
