Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: A framework agreement shall be signed with 1 tenderer for each of these 6 service categories. The framework agreements will be signed for 2 years with an option for an extension for a further 1 year + 1 year.
Depending on the contracting authority's needs, the tenderer could have independent responsibility for carrying out procurements or participating in project groups. And assist or manage procurement processes at the contracting authority.
The services that shall be provided are primarily project management in projects and sub projects within DA's different disciplines. The project management will normally include a framework responsibility for budget, function/quality and progress.
Emphasis is put on the fact that this does not apply to ICT, procurements and building administrative projects, as there are separate framework agreements for these.
The contracting authority often has internal resources to see to the project manager function, but there is a need for external assistance in many ongoing and planned projects. The building project administrative assistance can include everything from the management of small alteration projects in the construction phase to major, integrated projects of considerable complexity.
The tenderer shall assist DA with general consultancy, the preparation of a decision basis for different themes connected to the entity's use of ICT. The tenderer will also manage individual ICT projects.
The tenderer shall assist the contracting authority in periods when the DA's own testing resources do not have the capacity to see to this in its entirety. A concrete assignment that can be expected to trigger such a need is when a new contract is signed for ICT operational services.
There can also be periods when it is relevant to assist the contracting authority with testing management within development/management of the law-courts' case handling systems.
The contracting authority has outsourced its operational and development assignments to external collaboration partners. On the development side these partners are responsible for providing advice to the contracting authority on the application architecture for the different systems. The law-courts are facing the major job of digitalising work methods and work processes, called Digital Law-courts. This work will set requirements for joint architecture and uniform management of the development in accordance with the target and principles for the IT architecture.
The procurement of consultancy services is estimated to 4 000 hours per annum. Divided between 6 categories, see the sub-contracts. 2 year contracts with an option for 1+1 year.
