As a ps. to my last message, The Janet Buyer's Guide is quite clear that 
EU tendering should not be required for Arkivum storage, as it has 
already been done (*)

Have a good weekend!

(*) "Was this Framework tendered under EU procurement rules? Yes, this 
Framework was advertised in the OJEU on 2nd August 2013 number 2013/S 
149-259286 and tendered using the Open Procedure. A copy of the contract 
notice and the contract award notice are available on the Janet web site 
at: https://community.ja.net/groups/arkivum "
