The aim of the procurement is to give the Norwegian Tax Authority access to “Public Cloud” platforms with related services, (including third party services). The Framework Agreement must support the Norwegian Tax Authority's need for learning connected to the establishment of a strategy for the use of cloud services. Furthermore, the Framework Agreement will be used for quantity based services based on the established cloud strategy. The Framework Agreement must give access to 3 cloud platforms.
The Contracting Authority will enter into a Framework Agreement for the delivery of “as a service” services, as part of a public cloud based platform. Such services are often characterised with terms such as “Platform as a Service”, PaaS, infrastructure (“infrastructure as a Service”, IaaS), and SaaS, software as a service. Manufacturers, however, do not widely use these terms, as they are often not suitable for how services are built/offered in these platforms.
The Framework Agreement must allow the Contracting Authority to work directly with the manufacturer's public cloud platform and personnel. The Contracting Authority will develop learning through practical use of the services in question with the help of our internal resources. Furthermore, the Contracting Authority must be able to order additional services from the tenderer, such as consultancy services and competence-building measures.
The contract also includes cloud services connected to productivity services for final users, typically interaction and office suite as such tools are a central part of case management when executing the social task. The tools for interaction and office suite have a close integration with identity and access control for self-developed systems, and are used together with the self-developed systems for executing the social task, (handling information, user dialogue, compliance, collection and national register).
An introductory description of the aim of the Framework Agreement can be found in the tender documentation, particularly in Annex 1, the Contracting Authority's requirements specification. The estimated total value is only an estimate so the actual contract value may be higher or significantly lower than the estimate. The estimate is in no way binding for the Norwegian Tax Authority.
The Contracting Authority will choose the best qualified tenderers in relation to qualification requirement regarding technical and professional experience. See the tender documentation for further details.
