Technical requirements: The procurement will be made in accordance with the Act no. 73 of 17 June 2016 on public procurements and regulations no. 974 of 12 August 2016 on public procurements part I and III as a competition with negotiations. This procedure gives all interested suppliers the possibility to submit a request for participation in the competition. Only tenderers who are qualified and then invited by the contracting authority can submit a tender. Amongst the qualified tenderers, at least 3 (three) and a maximum of 5 (five) tenderers will be chosen, who will be invited to participate in the competition. The selection will be based on a total assessment of which tenderers most fulfil the requirements for technical and professional qualifications. Negotiations will be carried out in accordance with the rules in the Public Procurement Regulations §§ 23-7 and 23-10. The Contracting Authority will use the right to reduce the number of tenders to be negotiated. A reduction can take place ahead of the negotiations. The contracting authority has planned to reduce the number to three, but may, after the first round of negotiations, reduce the number to two. A minimum of two shall be negotiated. Tenderers may be asked to present their tender offer and hold a demonstration of the offered solution before negotiations begin. The contracting authority reserves the right to award the contract without negotiations, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 23-7 (5).
The contracting authority needs a digital system for safeguarding some obligations in accordance with the GDPR. The system shall ensure that the participating municipalities make their compliance work more efficient and work in accordance with a joint methodology in a joint system. The aim of procuring a joint GDPR system is to facilitate a joint management system where interested parties in the municipalities, the cooperation and Indigo IKT have good prerequisites for working together to develop, manage and document information processes rationally in accordance with the GENERAL Data Protection Regulation and the cooperation ́s digitalisation strategy. The announced extent meant that several tenders had to be rejected due to a too high price in relation to the budget and a tender had to be rejected as the tenderer did not meet the qualification requirements. The tender contest was cancelled due to missing valid tenders.
