Technical requirements: The contest is for the complete and general delivery of IT operations and related services for Medietilsynet.
Medietilsynet's goal is a cost efficient service contract with a qualified, robust, and suitable tenderer, so that Medietilsynet is able to carry out its assignments. The tenderer must provide good services with the correct and documented quality, and with good reports so that Medietilsynet can follow-up deliveries, quality, and security in an efficient way.
Medietilsynet is an organisation that has continual changes and development. It is therefore a requirement that the tenderer's operating systems have a high degree of scaleability, that they are mainly standardised services based on standard products with as little specially developed adaptations as possible, and that the tenderer's operating system is continually being improved.
The aim of the contract is to have an IT operations service with the correct service level, a secure ability to deliver,
sufficient scaleability as regards the contracting authority's needs and requirements, correct and documented provided quality in accordance with the agreed service level and other requirements, minimal vulnerability and risk exposure through good IT security, so that risks that threaten confidentiality, integrity, and availability are dealt with.
Medietilsynet currently has an equivalent contract for IT operating services, which expires in spring 2024.
The value of the procurement is estimated to be over the EEA threshold. The value is an estimate and is not binding for the contracting authority.
Tenders cannot be submitted for parts of the assignment, and alternative tenders are not allowed. The contracting authority considered dividing the assignment but has decided that it is not suitable for this type of procurement.
The contracting authority expects that the tenderer studies the contractual terms and makes the required internal clarifications in such a way that a contract can be signed if awarded.
Documentation requirement: Requirement for certificate of paid VAT, tax and social security contribution. A certificate issued by the competent authority in the tenderer's country, confirming that the tenderer has met the obligations in regard to payment of VAT, tax and social security contributions in the country where the tenderer/contractor has its headquarters the (Norwegian certificate for Tax and VAT is combined and ordered from altinn.no, RF-1507, previously RF-1244) in accordance with the legislation in the country where the tenderer is registered. The certificate must not be more than six months old.
The contracting authority is not allowed to request the certificate if he has already received it, in accordance with the regulations § 17-1(4). If you have submitted a tax certificate and it is still valid at the tender submission deadline for this contest, you are not obliged to submit a certificate now. If this is the case, state when and to whom the certificate was previously submitted. You can, however, attach the certificate voluntarily if you want.
Requirements regarding the tenderer´s economic and financial standing: The financial capacity to fulfil the contract is required (ESPD: Part IV B.58-3).
Documentation: The contracting authority will assess finances through the company and accounting information system Proff Forvalt (www.forvalt.no). The contracting authority reserves the right to obtain supplementary information about the tenderer's finances.
Any need for support from other companies in order to fulfil this qualification requirement: If a tenderer is dependent on other companies to fulfil this qualification requirement, an account thereof must be given below. In such cases the contracting authority will assess the finances of the supporting company in the same way.
