Technical requirements: Bærum Municipality has used a separate system for IGA (Identity Governance & Administration) since 2017. The current maintenance contract expires in summer 2023, and there is a need to enter into a new contract for support/maintenance services. The aim of the procurement is to facilitate the operation of and support for the existing IGA system.
IGA is used to secure the municipality's needs within GDPR, automation of access and insight for managers. This includes securing the entity's total processes to ensure that persons and IT equipment have access to services, data, and tools so that they can carry out their assignments.
The procurement concerns expertise for support and maintenance of the current IGA in order to meet the municipality's total need for support and maintenance of IGA.
The total scope in the contract period and the estimates in this tender documentation are based on call-offs under the current contract and are, thus, not binding for the contracting authority. The current contract requires approx. 1.5 full-time positions split between 2 main resources a year.
The contract will be valid for 2 years with an option for the contracting authority to extend for up to 2 years, with 1 year at a time.

Foreign companies: Documentation that the company is registered in a trade index or company register as mandated by the legislation in the country in which the tenderer is established.
Taxes and duties: Tenderers must have their tax and VAT payments in order in the country where they are established.

Norwegian tenderers who are not subject to VAT must present confirmation of this from the Norwegian Tax Administration.
Foreign tenderers must provide certificates from equivalent authorities to the Norwegian authorities.
Tenderers are required to be economically and financially solvent, which gives the contracting authority the security that the tenderer will be financially viable throughout the entire contract period. Credit worthy without any requirement for collateral will be sufficient.
Expanded credit rating/report, not older than 3 months, from a publicly certified credit rating company with score A (credit worthy) or equivalent or better. The report must be based on the last known fiscal figures. The date must be clearly stated.
Companies without adequate credit rating, newly started companies with a credit score of AN, individual foreign companies or companies without reporting obligation to the Brønnøysund Register Centre will not always be able to document that the requirement is met. In such instances, they will be able to compensate with a satisfactory credit rating which provides an equivalent security for implementation ability. These alternative documents must be included in the tender.
If a tenderer has valid reasons for being unable to present the documentation requested by the contracting authority, the tenderer can prove the economic and financial position with any other documents that the contracting authority deems suitable.
