Development and Operation of the platform SPADRI

Reasons given by the contracting authority

Overall, Datahouse AG’s tender proved to be the most advantageous in accordance with the award criteria.

The decisive factors were, in particular, the competitive price and the convincing quality of the tender.

Particularly noteworthy were the well-conceived data collection and data handling concept and the comparatively short development timeline.

The tender presentation confirmed the positive impression.

Description

Currently, there is no website that lists all of Switzerland’s available Data and Research Infrastructure (DRI). SPADRI aims to change that. This call for proposals is intended to procure and develop SPADRI.
The objective of the call is

- to select a competent and experienced provider for the development and operation of SPADRI (Swiss Portal for Academic Data and Research Infrastructure)
- SPADRI will enable the governing bodies of universities and public authorities to monitor the expansion of research infrastructure and compare their services with future needs for research infrastructure.
- SPADRI is intended to enable academic researchers in Switzerland to identify the DRIs that most effectively support their research projects

swissuniversities commissioned the University of Zurich to develop the SPADRI platform. It will provide a central, easily accessible directory of around 400 Swiss DRIs.
