AKT shall procure consultancy services to further develop the flexible booking transport service Svipp. A framework agreement shall be established for consultancy services for the work on new and innovative systems. Tenderers shall offer assistance within IT development - system development, system maintenance, data security and SLA operations. The tenderer will work closely with the Contracting Authority and other joint venture partners.

The potential for Svipp is huge, and there are already other actors who have taken the software into use. In order to keep Svipp competitive, it will be necessary to continually develop new systems in accordance with good DevOps standards. The contracting authority has not determined exactly what this will involve, but based on AKT's experience and input from interested parties, a number of possibilities have emerged:
• Improve access management of users
• Collect in one zone to deliver to another via Interchange between "routes".
• Integration with school transport for students
• Integration with on-board system for sales and inspections of tickets.
• The system shall, in the long term, both be able to deliver and obtain timetable data from Entur ́s systems.
• Export and import of data to and from other systems

The further development shall be carried out on the already existing system and not as a new development based on what has been done so far.
