Technical requirements: Bergen municipality deems Geodata AS to be the only relevant supplier in the market (cf. PPR § 13-4c) for consultancy services connected to development and consultancy services for Bergen municipality's ESRI platform.
The complex ESRI-based geodata infrastructure that Bergen municipality has established over the year, includes a considerable degree of “tailormade” in order to handle the administration and accessibility of operational critical geodata in the best possible way. When further developing this infrastructure, Bergen municipality deems it very important that service providers of development and consultancy services have good knowledge of both the existing infrastructure and the entire software spectrum that ESRI offers in this area. It is also decisive that the further development is seen in close connection with the already procured ESRI components with relevant adaptions and new ESRI components that appear, so that the current systems can be continually improved and made more efficient. Bergen municipality has come to the conclusion that it is only Geodata AS who has the premises to carry out and fulfil these needs and requirements. Bergen municipality has previously carried out a general market survey based on enquiries to various suppliers of ESRI-platforms and have not heard that there are other development environments connected to the actual ESRI products than Geodata AS. Bergen municipality has not any new information that changes this evaluation. Bergen municipality has thus made direct contact with Geodata AS without a prior information notice/call for tenders and intends to enter into a framework agreement with Geodata AS for consultancy services related to development and consultancy services for to Bergen municipality's ESRI platform. Cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 21-5 (Voluntary ex ante transparency notice).
