Technical requirements: Eksfin has a lot of exposure to the energy market. Offshore oil and gas has been the dominant sector for a long time. Shipping, cruise, and fishing are also important sectors within Eksfin's portfolio. Eksfin's exposure is changing and there is now an increase within renewable energy and the related market segment. Eksfin requires market information within these sectors. Eksfin primarily requires a subscription service with access to global market intelligence within the oil and gas area to sea and the sea wind area, and important macro drivers within the total energy market, with particular focus on the green change. Eksfin also requires a subscription service with access to global market information within shipping, and is positive to market information that can be given on cruises as well as fishing sectors. This information will be the main source for Eksfin's own analyses and benchmarking analysis.
Eksfin must have a good understanding of the underlying market drivers for all the segments, as well as in-depth knowledge on the market actors.
Eksfin has a separate analysis section set up to support the organisation and give decision makers exact analyses and information. In order to do so, Eksfin must have external data and analyses that will be complementary to the organisation's internal data sources.
The Supplier shall provide their standard terms and conditions for the delivery of the subscription service on offshore information.
The contract period will be 2 years (Initial term) with an unilateral option for Eksfin to be extended thrice, each time with 1 year, with a maximum contract period of 5 years.
The Parties agree that upon expiry of the Initial Term (2 years) the term of this contract may be extended by EKSFIN up to 3 (three) successive periods of 12 (twelve) months each (the Year 3, 4 and 5). EKSFIN will send notice of its intent to extend the term of the contract to the supplier at least 30 (thirty) calendar days prior to the expiry date of the Initial Term or the Year 3, 4 and 5. Otherwise the contract will automatically expire at the end of the Initial Term or at the end of Year 3 or 4. The supplier will notify EKSFIN in writing when the solution is ready for use by EKSFIN. EKSFIN shall be granted a period of five working days (or more) for a user acceptance test in order to verify that the delivery is in accordance with the contract. EKSFIN shall not be liable for any payment under the contract until the acceptance test has been approved by EKSFIN.
EKSFIN shall not use the delivery for any purpose other than the user acceptance test until said test is approved by EKSFIN.
Upon termination of the agreement, for whatever reason, the supplier shall hand over to EKSFIN, in an agreed format, any data stored by the supplier on behalf of EKSFIN.
The contracting authority expects the supplier to familiarize with the contract provisions and make the necessary clarifications internally so that you are ready to sign the contract if you are awarded a contract.
