Technical requirements: The objective of the procurement is to procure KGV and KAV, which contribute to complying with the requirement for procurements in accordance with legal and regulation requirements, and at the same time ensure the requirement for validating procurements. The aim is to use a system that, to the greatest possible degree, contributes to fully electronic case handling, from the preparation of tender documentation and qualification documents, to the award of contract and further contract follow-up.

A KGV/KAV system shall be procured that shall be used by all entities in the municipality. The procured system ought to, to the greatest possible degree, facilitate to make the procurement work more efficient and contribute to digitising the procurement function in the municipality. We would like a user friendly system that can support efficient processes, be scalable and safeguard security and privacy in a good way. 

The system shall contribute to fulfilment of legal and regulation requirements, increased degree of control, simple implementation and follow-up of procurements, as well as increased degree of self-service and with options for automating manual tasks. 

The objective of the procurement is to get a system that:
• Is effective, future orientated and user friendly.
• Contributes to further digitalisation of processes
• Provides simpler and more efficient processes
• Provides good control and control of procurements, contracts and suppliers 
• Provides good reporting options
The nature of the procurement in this case is the procurement of a tool for holding competitions and following up signed contracts. Furthermore, the procurement involves maintenance and further development of such a tool, operation and use of the tool. The work on maintenance and further development of the tool can be compared with a consultancy service without particular travel activities and is therefore considered to have immaterial climate footprint and environmental impact. 

However, if sub-supplier chains take into consideration, we can see that possible climate footprint and environmental impact may arise for the operation of the data centres on which the tool is coughed. The supplier ́s influence over this energy consumption and the possible environmental impact is, however, very limited and it is aimless for the contracting authority to emphasise or set requirements in the requirement specifications for the environment in this procurement.

Based on this, the procurement is being assessed for a system support tool for a competition and contract administration tool in accordance with its nature to have immaterial climate footprint and environmental impact, and therefore falls under the exception rule in PPR § 7-9 (5).
The waiting period, c.f. the Public Procurement Regulations § 25-2, 10 days calculated from the day after the notification letter was sent. The notification letter was sent 16.05.25
