The Norwegian Food Safety Authority will no longer operate a computer room and therefore needs to rent from a data processing centre supplier. The tenderer will operate the environment where the servers, etc. are. The offered system must be secure and redundant.
The Norwegian Food Safety Authority's current rent contract in an office building in Brumunddal expires on 30 September 2021. This building currently houses a separate data processing centre for the production of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority's services.
The government's digitalisation strategy states that; 'Making public services more efficient includes, amongst other things, assessing whether public authorities shall produce the services or systems themselves, or whether they should be procured in the market...(). Public authorities therefore must not do themselves what the market can do better, but instead recommend what needs must be solved in order to build sustainable digital services and have a dialogue with the market on possible solutions'.
The Norwegian Food Safety Authority's assessment of the wanted system, and the government's digitalisation strategy is that the production of services must be moved from our data processing centre, thus space must be hired from a data processing centre supplier. The relocation from the current office building to rented premises is wanted before summer 2021.
Delivery location. The services are to be provided from the tenderer's premises. Physical meetings and workshops will preferably be held in the Norwegian Food Safety Authority's offices in Brumunddal, Oslo, or at the tenderer, as agreed.
Scope. The equipment that must be placed in a new computer room/data processing centre is listed in the document '01 Current Equipment'. This makes up the scope of the contract.
The contract will be valid for three years. Option for a contract extension one year at a time, three times, total three years. The entire contract, including extensions, will be valid for maximum six years. The reason for the total contract length is due to the costs of moving the equipment and the fact that moving the equipment can affect the equipment's lifetime.
Tenderers must document an annual turnover within the requested services that, as a minimum is double the contract's annual cost.
1) Tenderers have, in the reference period, carried out the following important goods deliveries of the requested type, or the following important services of the requested type.
Tenderers must be able to supply the following tools, materials and technical equipment to execute the contract.
1) Tenderers must have experience with an equivalent customer as the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. Equivalent customers mean a customer of a certain size with invoicing routine requirements. Equivalent customers do not need to be public/government authorities. Equivalent customers are also customers that hire the space the Norwegian Food Safety Authority requests. Tenderers can refer to two different customers in order to fulfil this requirement.
2) Tenderers must document that they can use either the offered equipment and technical components, or equivalent equipment that is required to fulfil the contract.

Eligibility requirements: Registered in a trade register or company register (the Brønnøysund Register Centre).
