The Norwegian Coastal Administration has established well-functioning ICT infrastructure. This mainly consists of standardised systems that must be maintained and developed. In order to ensure continuity, reliability, and innovation, we must have a tenderer that can deliver a broad spectrum of products, has expertise in our current systems, and can assist us in the development of future systems.
It must be possible to transfer licences procured under this contract free to charge to the contracting authority's chosen licence partner for further follow-up.
Emphasis is put on the fact that the stated contract value is only an estimate. These are non-binding for the contracting authority, nor do they give the tenderer any rights. The contracting authority´s need can vary from year to year and it is, therefore, subject to changes in volume.
Lot 2 comprises the procurement and management of licences. The contract is non-exclusive, licences can be procured directly from the producer or under other contracts entered into by the contracting authority, and then transported to the chosen licence partner for further follow-up. A contract will be signed with a tenderer for a period of 2+2+1+1 years. The estimated contract value is NOK 90 million for the entire contract period. The estimate is based on the current number of licences and the current exchange rate, but the scope can be changed in the contract period.
Lot 3 comprises consultancy services within various ICT competence areas. 1-3 framework agreements will be signed for a period of 2+1+1 years.
Emphasis is put on the fact that the stated contract value is only an estimate. These are non-binding for the contracting authority, nor do they give the tenderer any rights.
The contracting authority expects that the need will increase in the contract period. This is due to the increased rate of digitalisation and a greater need for capacity and competence. The volume is therefore subject to changes.
The tender deadline is 5 July, but the tenders will not be dealt with before week 31 due to staff holidays.
