Technical requirements: The contracting authority has, thus, a need to procure project management to manage the project. The actual procurement process for an ERP system shall be carried out by our procurement department.
The contracting authority shall implement a project that shall map the organisation's need for, procure, implement and commission ERP-solution.
Tenderers shall, based on the contracting authority ́s presentation of requirements in the requirement specifications and their need in "Annex 1 - Needs Description project manager ERP", describe and present their solution proposal for the assignment. It is up to the tenderer whether one/several persons are offered for the execution of the assignment.

Tenderers shall, as a minimum, give an account of how the assignment will be solved, including, but not limited to:
* selection of work methodology, 
* how to minimise potential risks, 
* how to ensure that the contracting authority gets the correct and sufficient resource/resources for absence, including for e.g. prolonged illness, that the resource ends etc. 
* expected internal use of resources at the contracting authority, 
* how to ensure transfer of competence to the contracting authority,  
* how to ensure progress in the assignment so that the goal is met 

The contracting authority will particularly focus on the evaluation:
* how the project shall be implemented
* how, and how, progress is ensured in the assignment is ensured by the absence of various reasons.
* to what degree the offered solution proposal appears suitable to implement the assignment with a successful result. 

Tenderers shall also enclose an estimated and tentative progress plan with milestones, as well as descriptions of how the milestones are reached.

The contracting authority plans to hold interviews with the candidates. Here the candidates will have the opportunity to review the tender.  

Tenderers shall respond to this award criteria in annex 2 - response to the award criteria "System proposal and assignment comprehension".
Tenderers shall, based on the contracting authority ́s presentation of requirements in the requirement specifications and their need in "annex 1 - Needs Description", describe the offered/offered resource/resources ́ competence. It is up to the tenderer whether one/several persons are offered for the execution of the assignment.

* what the offered/offered resources/resources shall contribute to the assignment.
* what relevant experience from previous assignments the offered resources/resources have that will be particularly important for the execution of this assignment.
* two references for the offered/offered resource/resources with contact information 

Tenderers shall enclose a brief CV for the offered/offered resources/resources.

The contracting authority will particularly emphasise whether the offered resource/resources have the correct competence and experience for the execution of the assignment. Tenderers who can offer resources/resources who have specific experience as a project manager for the procurement of an ERP system will have a positive rating for this in the evaluation.

The contracting authority plans to hold interviews with the candidates. This shall help the contracting authority find the right competence. Checking personal properties as described in requirement 2.3 in the requirement specifications will be a part of the evaluation. The same applies for reference checks with provided references.

Tenderers shall respond to this award criteria in Annex 3 - Response to the award criteria "Kompetanse".
Tenderers shall fill in their tender offer in the product tab. Tenderers shall offer a fixed price for the execution of the assignment based on their system, excluding VAT. The offered fixed price will be the evaluation sum in the evaluation.

The fixed price shall include all costs, including journeys, including travel time. Travelling to and from the contracting authority ́s premises is not covered and tenderers must therefore price the necessary costs themselves in connection with this. The contracting authority shall not have costs beyond the offered fixed price.

Tenderers shall, for the option, state the offered hourly rate for one consultant, excluding VAT. This will not count in the evaluation.
