Technical requirements: The tenderer shall establish a system that in a general way covers the Contracting Authority' aims and requirements for the services, both as regards the establishment and provision of the printing and scanning service.
The registration card is a money order voucher and the information form the basis for money orders and the payment of benefits in arrears.
The printing and scanning service consists of the physical handling of the registration card, i.e. printing the cards on paper, dispatching the cards, receiving sent cards with the subsequent scanning with machine and possibly manual interpretation. An electronic version of the cards is available after scanning.
The tenderer shall print and send out registration cards based on data from the Contracting Authority.
— Storing the data basis for checks upon reception (scanning) and possibly a new dispatch in the event of deviations.
The tenderer shall receive and scan registration cards that have been sent in. The following is included in the receipt and scanning of registration cards:
Norwegian is to be used in both written and oral communication with the service provider. Likewise, all written documentation shall be presented in Norwegian. As a starting point, the services shall be carried out in the service provider's premises.
The paper registration cards and the information letters shall be delivered to NAV' supplier for freight/postal delivery in accordance with the Contracting Authority's current freight/postal delivery contract in Norway. The tenderer shall receive post in accordance with the Contracting Authority's postal delivery contract.
The extent of the contract is somewhat uncertain as NAV is focussing on digitalising its services. Paper registration cards are planned to be phased out at the latest 1.1.2020. The extent will, thus, be highest at the beginning of the contract period and it is expected to then be considerably reduced.
