Danmarks Nationalbank (the contracting authority) is the central bank of Denmark, and is a self-governing, independent institution established by law.

In addition approximately 450 employees depends on a functioning internal it-systems to perform their daily work.
This contract notice intends to establish a Consultancy Framework Agreement with a number of suppliers, to cover a wide range of expertise areas. The contracting authority intends to establish a close cooperation with the selected suppliers, to ensure rapid and smooth performance of services at a high expert level.
The framework for project and program management is the Customer’s project management model, developed on the basis of experience with PRINCE2, and with inspiration from IPMA and Half Double. The success criteria are: Predictability for time and finances, high delivery quality, satisfaction with the co-operation, achievement of benefits. External project managers must fulfil the same role as for the Customer's internal project managers, which includes fulfilling the same requirements of method knowledge and management conduct. The project portfolio covers a range of many different types of products, such as business development, rationalisation, compliance, security and improvements, and maintenance of IT platforms and infrastructure.
The shortlisting of candidates invited to tender will be based on an evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries, see section III.1.3), of the services covered by the lot, see the description in sections II.1.4) and II.2.4).
The evaluation of the most relevant deliveries will be made on the basis of the extent to which the references document experience with delivery of comparable services. In the evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries of comparable services, the extent to which the references, in total, document relevant experience in delivering the services specifically required will be considered.
Testing is performed in order to determine the quality of the service that is tested. For the test to be accurate, without its execution requiring a disproportionate input of resources, there is a need for planning, follow-up and management of a full test cycle, which also includes follow-up on deliveries and suitability for purpose, including assessment of the service/system's usability and stability, based on test results. Furthermore, insight into and experience from methods related to testing are required, including the more technical aspects of testing, such as, but not limited to, test automation, performance and load testing.
