The purpose of the market dialogue (RFI) is to receive feedback from suppliers and investigate what systems for external interaction in planning, investment, renewal and maintenance projects are in the market. Bane NOR would like to get an overview of the current situation, as well as what will be the future need and possibilities in the market. The aim is procure a future service contract with an IT operations model that, amongst other things, ensures values such as quality, cost efficiency, flexibility, scalability and innovation. At the same time, the RFI process facilitates for real competition between the service providers, including ensuring principles of non-discrimination, predictability and competition. For further information about the RFI process, see the ‘comprehensive information’ and attached RFI documentation.
This RFI process must not be considered to be part of a possible procurement process or a directly regulated in the supply regulation. The RFI is not binding for suppliers or for Bane NOR SF. Bane NOR SF is subject to the Freedom of Information Act, which has provisions that ensure good protection of suppliers' ideas, information on the system, proposals for the system and
business secrets, or information that is vital for businesses. Any expenses incurred by the RFI process are to be covered by the suppliers.
Bane NOR SF invites suppliers who currently provide an interaction system to an open information meeting on 9.10.2019.
nysamhandling@banenor.no by 20.9.2019 EOB. Mark the subject field ‘RFI — interaction system — Bane NOR ref. 201909644'. Suppliers are requested to provide information on the number of participants who will attend.
Suppliers are encouraged to send questions and feedback to the above email address by 25.9.2019, so that they can be discussed at the meeting.
Suppliers will also be invited to respond to the RFI documentation by 28.10.2019, 09.00 a.m. (CEST). Based on the responses, 1:1 meetings could be held with selected suppliers. See the attached RFI documentation for further information on the process.
Otherwise the following applies: questions and answers will be handled in an anonymous form, and any trade secrets and sensitive information will be excluded.
Note that the RFI document and questionnaire will only be in Norwegian. Final decisions and choices have not yet been made. Potential tenderers should be aware that information provided in this contest and in the RFI documentation is in no
Way binding for the contracting authority. We further emphasise that it is not necessary to participate in the RFI process to be able to participate in a later future competition for the operational contract (the RFP process) — all necessary information for participation and preparation of the tender offer will be given in a later notice and competition documentation.
The aim is to complete the RFI process in autumn 2019, the tentative notice and competitive tendering will be in December 2019 (the RFP process). The RFI process will form the basis for further financial calculations and/or feedback on the requirements and content that we must set for a possible future contract for an interaction system.
There will not be any reimbursement for responding to this enquiry and for participation otherwise in the RFI process.
