The implementation of the service must begin with the signing of the agreement and the implementation must be ready 1 month after the signing of the agreement. The content of the implementation project is the establishment of the service and its implementation. During the implementation, the service's compliance with the requirements will be verified.

- To implement all the features to which the supplier has committed in their tender.

- To open access for the buyer to the selection of newspapers and periodicals defined in the price list in the tender request, Annex 2.

The implementation ends when all tasks have been completed and the buyer has tested the delivered system and deemed the system's features to be acceptable. If defects are found during the testing, the supplier will correct the defects and the buyer will test these again. Testing continues until the buyer deems the phase to be acceptable, unless the buyer considers the system to be so defective that the implementation cannot be continued.
