Support systems such as Citrix, Teams, Public360 and Trio Call centre can be integrated with the professional systems in a later phase as needed. Customer identification system at recycling stations.
The procurement will take place without a competition pursuant to the sole supplier exception in the Public Procurement Act and Public Procurement Regulations § 13-4 letter b) No 2. SUM IKS has investigated available solutions in the market and concluded that a competition for the relevant IT solution is not possible for technical reasons.
The procurement concerns a complete IT system with integration solutions for customer and logistics management for handling of household waste, where the IT system is tailored for the waste business that SUM IKS conducts. The IT system is a framework for disseminating information across professional systems and the associated support systems. The system will administrate access control, tag administration, customer maintenance and the like in one place (same user-interface). The system contains integrated solutions for customer management, invoicing, route planning, archiving, hazardous waste, labelling of containers with RFID tags, as well as a system for collection vehicles in order to read the containers being emptied. All information and collected data flows seamlessly and in real-time between professional systems and support systems.
SUM IKS’ market surveys indicate that it is only possible to acquire this solution combined from the BIR Group, Norconsult Informasjonssystemer AS, Poul Tarp AS, Reknes AS and WasteIQ, since the relevant solution is a tailored solution for the waste sector where the various components of the system are technically codependent. The system was previously developed for BIR AS, where it is adapted and integrated with BIR's IT systems, and where BIR later has carried out a significant number of adaptations and self-developed systems that are offered to SUM. To the best of SUM's knowledge, there is no other supplier in the market who can offer an equivalent total solution mentioned customer and logistics tasks within the needs and on the terms that SUM IKS has for the solution. SUM IKS has therefore concluded that it is technically impossible to hold a competition for the procurement.
The contract will be signed after the expiry of a 10-day waiting period calculated from transmission of this notice to the TED database.
