Technical requirements: The Contracting Authority needs to collaborate with a tenderer who has the total responsibility for the delivery of components and software licences for a wireless network, as well as carrying out maintenance on new and existing components. The municipalities in the procurement cooperation have previously established a joint server farm in RegionData's premises in Otta. The municipalities have established a joint structured wireless network in the municipalities' buildings over the entire region. In recent years a wireless network has been established with Aruba components and we would like to continue to develop/supplement the existing infrastructure in a future framework agreement. Each municipality is responsible for procurements and implementation, but with technical assistance through the inter-municipal ICT collaboration.
