DRAGNET GPU Cluster Tender Documents

In Nov/Dec/Jan 2014/2015 we wrote the documents for the GPU Cluster EU Tendering procedure. The tender was published on TenderNed on Tue, 27 January 2015 using the documents below, version 1.2 (26 January 2015).

This is how the cluster is approximately going to look (from the Annex A specs doc):

Annex A (cluster specs) are the most interesting. Warning: detail overflow.

The other documents are a request for offers and some procedural boilerplate. If you need to do the same, please ask the Inkoop group for up-to-date templates. Most of these have been adapted for our tender (e.g. offer max hardware for fixed price, etc). All documents (except the Annex A cluster specs) are written in Dutch to avoid the work of having to go through dozens of foreign (EU) offers.
