Nordic Innovation and NordForsk want to enter into a contract for the development of a joint web system, including a joint technical solution (CMS) and the development of design and information structure for Nordic Innovation's new website. There will probably also be an opportunity to enter into a contract to develop design and information structure for a new website for NordForsk in 2019/2020. We anticipate entering into a contract in November 2018, and expect that the work for the first lot will begin immediately after.
Nordic Innovation and NordForsk want to enter into a contract for the development of a joint web system, including a joint technical solution (CMS) and the development of design and information structure for Nordic Innovation's new website. There will probably also be an opportunity to enter into a contract to develop design and information structure for a new website for NordForsk in 2019/2020. We want to base the development of design, information structure and technical system on the flexible project methodology. We anticipate entering into a contract in November 2018, and that the work for the first lot will begin immediately after. Nordic Innovation and NordForsk want to prepared the specific schedule and distribution of deliveries in close collaboration with the service provider. Besides this, we want to enter into a contract for support, hosting and operation, and a contract for further development in 3 years.
Nordic Innovation wants a user friendly and intuitive website and wants to be fully digital with all interested parties. Therefore, NI is investigating the possibility of driving the project application process through the website instead of in another system.
In 2019/2020 NordForsk wants a new website, including design and information building and adaptation to the joint CMS. Therefore, this is also a possible assignment for the selected service provider.
In the long-term, NordForsk wants to explore the possibilities for integration with the Insights Grants case and application system (https://machina.no/produkter/grants/). This concerns only information from Insights Grants to nordforsk.org, so as not to write to or update in Insights Grants from nordforsk.org.
NordForsk wants to explore the possibility of integrating Crossref, a portal for research output, to nordforsk.org. As Insights Grants, this is only one way integration where we obtain information from Crossref and use it on nordforsk.org.
In the long-term, Nordic Innovation and NordForsk wants to have a joint technical platform with Nordisk Energiforskning [Nordic Energy Research], that is also a subsidiary of Nordisk Ministerråd [the Nordic Council of Ministers', and share premises and joint administration with Nordic Innovation and NordForsk. A possible future assignment for the selected tenderer will therefore be to transfer Nordic Energy Research's current website to Nordic Innovation and NordForsk's technical system. Nordic Energy Research's current website: http://www.nordicenergy.org/
The value stated in points II.1.7 and V.2.4 is the total value for a 3-year period and does not include options, except for an option for NordForsk to join the contract.
