The Patent Office shall, as a national competence centre, contribute to more good rights and better use of immaterial values. There is a great need for increased knowledge and consciousness on good use of immaterial rights.
The Patent Office is in the process of formulating the strategy that will apply from 2023. We already know that we will use the sub-goals from the current strategy period. These are:
The Patent Office will, through its digital presence, contribute to supporting these sub-goals. This also includes prioritising the final user of our websites. The Patent Office is a competence centre for immaterial rights. The website is the Patent Office's most important point of contact with customers. Our customers must get what they need in order to make good assessments around monopoly, when they need it, where they are.
The Patent Office will now update and further develop our website 'www.patentstyret.no' and needs assistance with this work. The project, which we have called 'Web Lift' shall deliver a uniform digital customer journey through improvements of the content and flow in a flexible and future-orientated CMS system.
The contracting authority has an option to extend the contract for 2+1 + 1 year, so that the total possible contract length is 7 years.
The estimated value of the options in the contract is up to NOK 7 million excluding VAT. This will cover, amongst other things, the following:
- npi.int.  The Patent Office is responsible for and runs the website for Nordic Patent Institute, which is a collaboration between the Patent Office and patent offices in Denmark and Iceland. NPI would like to update or made a new website for npi.int, but has a low budget. The price for this option is therefore very important when deciding whether or not to take up the option.
- Velgekte.no: The Patent Office is responsible for and runs the website, which is a collaboration between the Patent Office, Customs, and the Ministry of Culture and Equality. Velgekte.no presents information on pirat copying and brand falsification from public authorities. Velgekte.no is also on the current on premises CMS system and must be transferred to a new platform. It can be that we would like the content to be updated in this work.
- Intranet: The Patent Office currently has Epi (an older version that what patentstyret.no has). It can be that we would like to use the same platform (CMS) for the intranet.
Foreign companies: Proof that the company is registered in a professional register as determined by the law of the country where the tenderer is established.
Documentation requirement: A credit rating based on the most recent fiscal figures. The rating must be carried out by a credit rating company with licence to conduct this service.
The contracting authority reserves the right to obtain credit rating information independently to the documentation submitted by the tenderer.
Requirement 1: Tenderers must have good experience from assignments with a comparable value to this contract.
Documentation requirement 1: Tenderers must state their 3-5 most relevant assignments.
