Contacts are wanted for the operation and maintenance of regionalforvaltning.no with one (main) tenderer. The contracts also include options for further development with the accompanying operation and maintenance costs. The Operational Contract (Government Standard Terms and Conditions SSA-D) only regulates basic platform operations, whilst the Maintenance Contract (Government Standard Terms and Conditions SSA-V) regulates application operations, maintenance and further development.
1. Operation Contract (basic operation and platform operation): NOK 2,000,000 excluding VAT assuming 6.5 years operation.
2. Maintenance Contract (application operation, maintenance, and further development): NOK 5,000,000 excluding VAT assuming 6.5 years operation.
This is an estimate that is not binding for the contracting authority and, within the budget limit, procurements can be made for more or less than the estimated amount. The distribution can also be changed between development and maintenance/operation.

KDD has previously increased the remuneration twice in 2021 and 2022, by NOK 160,000 excluding VAT and NOK 339,500 excluding VAT, in order to compensate for an increased workload due to the municipal compensation scheme pursuant to the public procurement regulations, section 28-1, first paragraph, letter b. KDD would like to increase the remuneration to the supplier further by NOK 299,353 excluding VAT. The procurement's general character will not be changed, and the price increase will not exceed 50 percent of the original contract value.
The Covid-19 pandemic has given a large and increasing workload for the supplier, in the form of expanded support and guidance for municipalities and the transfer of large amounts of data from city municipalities, which in turn has affected ordinary maintenance. In addition the supplier sees a need for adjustments in the programme due to the data capacity soon being used up.
Due to the increased workload for the supplier, it is necessary to make further changes in the contract. The changes are necessary due to circumstances that an attentive contracting authority could not predict, cf. the public procurement regulations, section 28-1 first paragraph, letter d. The procurement's general character will not be changed as a result of the change. The contract value will not exceed 50 percent of the original contract value, cf. the public procurement regulations, section 28-1 first paragraph, letter d. numbers 1 and 2. The terms in the mentioned provision in the public procurement regulations are therefore seen as met.
