Technical requirements: Lillehammer municipality intends to procure a new cloud-based system to support municipal business management, budgeting, financial planning and reporting. It is important that the system is comprehensive with good integrations between the modules, furthermore that the system supports the requirements given in the municipality's digitalisation strategy which is prepared in collaboration with Gausdal and Øyer municipalities. This is to ensure quality, work process and efficiency gains.
Lillehammer municipality needs to procure a system that is integrated with the financial system Agresso and used for the following main areas: Preparation of financial plans, budgeting, and budget reports, etc.
The system must also support the municipality's 'integrity' value by facilitating easy production of easily understood and informative budget, planning and report documents for publication on the internet and in printed form.
Lillehammer municipality is requesting the following functionalities: system and process support in the work with financial plans, annual budgets and climate budgets at various levels in the organisation, including political level, follow-up of political decisions, manage measure registration and prioritise relevant measures, deliver a good version and framework control throughout the process, present a final result in the form of a digital document with figures' segment, including mandatory overviews, and texts, increase the access to financial plans and user-friendliness, including a system for online publications, and be able to transfer data between the system and the financial system (Aggresso).
Lillehammer municipality cooperates closely with Øyer and Gausdal, and these three municipalities have a common digitization strategy. We wish that these three municipalities, as far as possible, choose a similar solution when deemed appropriate.
A similar contract made by Gausdal municipality included an option for Lillehammer municipality to enter into an agreement with the supplier Framsikt AS, which Gausdal municipality chose as the contract partner. This option has now expired, but the supplier has confirmed that they are willing to extend the option on similar terms as in the original contract.
Lillehammer municipality hereby publish its intention to make use of the option from the agreement between Gausdal municipality and Framsikt AS for entering into an agreement with Framsikt AS for the provision of business management services. This agreement will be entered into no earlier than 9 June 2021. Any objections must be submitted via the Mercell system.
The municipality's surveys show that only Framsikt's system provides a total system for the preparation of financial plans, budget work, reports and publications, and it is the only alternative that meets Lillehammer municipality's needs and requirements. This includes the preparation of documents, and good functions for planning work, budgeting and reports, as well as the publication of this work.


Winner: Framsikt AS
