Technical requirements: Helse Midt-Norge RHF c/o Helse Midt-Norge IT (HEMIT) intends to upgrade the payroll and travel expenses system under the current contract with TietoEvry.
Helse Midt-Norge RHF c/o Helse Midt-Norge IT (HEMIT) has a contract with TietoEvry that includes the operation and maintenance of the payroll and travel expenses system. The system must be upgraded and support for the current version is being phased out. The upgrade involves running the system as a cloud system. HEMIT believes that the upgrade can be undertaken without a contest. See the public procurement regulations section 28-1 (1) c and section 13-4 b).
The justification for a direct procurement is that a change of supplier would mean considerable disadvantages and extra costs for HEMIT. The personnel system and the payroll system currently use the same database and the payroll system has a number of necessary integrations between different databases in HEMIT's other systems. These are both direct and indirect integrations that connect a considerable number of systems, including the system for access control and systems connected to patient treatment. A change of supplier would mean that these integrations would have to be developed, which would be time-consuming and costly. In addition there would be necessary conversions of databases and content if systems or solutions are changed, which would give further disadvantages and extra costs. This concerns, for example, the personnel system, which is vital for the health company. In summary, a change to the payroll system would require a costly, time-consuming, and complex integration and conversion project with a high risk of error and shortcomings in large parts of the health company's IT systems. HEMIT thus assesses that based on this, a change of supplier would involve an unacceptable high risk, and besides, would be almost technically impossible.
