Technical requirements: The Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund, hereafter called SPK, invites tenderers to a qualification for participation in a negotiated procedure for the procurement of a competition management tool (hereafter CMT) and a contract administration tool (hereafter CAT).

A non-binding estimate for the contracting authority is that there will be approx. 5-9 permanent users including an administrator. In addition, there is a need for a larger number of ‘light’ users of CMT and CAT that shall have reading access and possibly limited writing access. The tools (CMT and CAT) shall be totally integrated with each other and it shall be possible to integrate the tools with SPK's case and archive system Public 360 and the finance system Agresso.
The contract will be valid for 2 years. The contracting authority has an option to extend the contract for 2 years and then have annual extensions (2+1+1+1+1). The maximum length is 8 years.
Tenderers shall have sufficient financial strength to comply with the contractual obligations. A solidity assessment shall be enclosed from a certified credit rating company. The rating must not be older than 6 months from the tender deadline. The rating must provide information on the credit rating and it ought to provide information on the degree of bankruptcy risk (bankruptcy prediction).
The rating shall be carried out by an officially certified credit rating institution. Minimum rating A, or AN for newly established tenderers (Dun & Bradstreet) or equivalent.
Financial strength is evaluated in relation to turnover, operating profit margin, solidity and liquidity.
