Technical requirements: It is desirable to obtain an IT solution to support construction projects in Avinor. Desired modules/needs areas are:
The construction unit (‘Utbygging’) was established as part of the operations and infrastructure division in 2016, with an important goal of gathering and streamlining the execution of construction (building and infrastructure) projects in Avinor. Until the establishment of the construction unit, there has been different practice and a small degree of standardised project execution, management and control within the Avinor building and infrastructure area. IT solutions, which have been used in project execution, have largely differed between projects and many have been through hired consultants.
It is desirable to procure a uniform IT solution to support construction projects which will be used in a standardized way. The procurement must support Avinor's strategic goal of:
It is desirable that an IT solution is provided by a supplier capable of project execution within the building and construction area, and the solution is used by other similar construction units/businesses. This can contribute to standardisation in Avinor according to best practice within the construction industry. It is desirable for the IT solution provider to take the role of digitization partner for the Construction unit in Avinor. Furthermore, it is desirable to procure a cloud-based solution that can be integrated with relevant other solutions that Avinor has. Users of the solution need screens and user experience to be in the Norwegian language.
Due to large costs to establish/implement this IT solution and subsequent costs to change such a system, which also would require a numerous resources, the maximum duration of the contract is set to 10 years. The duration is also based on predictability for users and use in projects that often extend over several years with many parties involved. However, potential extensions of the contract beyond the first 3 years will depend on how successful the implementation of the solution will be in Avinor AS, as well as the resulting benefits and savings the solution results in. The total value of the contract is thus difficult to determine exactly. If the intended and successful use occurs and estimated costs are appropriate, our estimate is that the total contract value may amount to up to 60 000 000 NOK. Should, however, the contract not be extended after the tree initial years, the contract value will be significantly lower,
The contract can be renewed for 1 year at the time after the initial 3 years, up to 7 consecutive years, giving a potential maximum contract duration of 10 years.
The qualified suppliers will be ranked based on how well they fulfill the qualification requirements listed in Section 3.10 in the qualification instructions (‘Leverandørens tekniske og faglige kvalifikasjoner’).
— the supplier's experience in implementing similar solutions with as described for Avinor covering relevant areas,
— supplier's experience with implementing such systems to customers in the Norwegian construction industry,
Avinor will host an information meeting will be held on the 23.10.2019. Suppliers who wish to participate must register interest in EU Supply (KGV/CTM) and also send a message through the system regarding participation.
