Difi would like potential suppliers to be in a Dynamic Purchasing System where one supplier can deliver all or parts of the requested areas.
Annex 1 Disciplines gives an account of the most important areas and technologies we would like to procure through the procurement system.
Difi would like to joint up with companies who can provide services within several competence areas, but we are also looking for contact with companies who have expertise within some specific areas.
Direktoratet for forvaltning og IKT (Difi) (the Agency for Public Management and eGovernment) develops, administers and operates multiple IT systems, including joint national components. The responsibility for this work comes under the Department for IT Operations and Development (IDU). IDU is divided between two locations, Oslo and Leikanger. The development projects are primarily carried out in one or both of these locations.
IDU is involved in the entire lifecycle of the IT systems in Difi, from the early requirement specifications to operation and administration. This work involves, amongst other things: strategic further development of IT systems, requirement specifications/advice for specifying requirements, design and architecture of IT systems, programming, technical testing, technical documentation, administration of IT systems, including troubleshooting and error recovery.
The work with the development of IT systems is organised as a project with methods from flexible and test driven development and dev-ops. We work in accordance with the ITIL principles for operation and follow-up.
Development happens with internal capacity in combination with hired consultants. Our need will vary between increasing internal development capacity and obtaining expertise when we do not have this ourselves.
Difi develops and administers joint national systems on behalf of the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation (KMD), for example, the ID-port, the contact and reservation register and systems within eCommerce/eInvoices (ELMA). We have an internal development teams that work on this with flexible methodology. The teams solve assignments from the joint components' development portfolio, including both new development and the administration of existing systems.
Difi also administers and develops a number of services, guidelines and portals that are aimed at inhabitants and public administration. Examples of such services are data.norge.no — anskaffelser.no — kvalitet.difi.no and difi.no
In addition, Difi has several internal IT systems, both self-developed and off-the-shelf products, which will support different work processes in Difi. Work is being carried out to integrate, further develop and adapt the internal IT systems in order to get more efficient utilisation.
Difi has a clear focus on information security, universal design and availability on the different platforms. Our systems must be available for everyone through universal design and it must be possible to use them on tablets and mobiles.
The need for the service is expected to be approx. NOK 6 250 000 excluding VAT a year. The estimate is based on historical figures and the previous need. There is no procurement obligation and there can be large variations in the extent from year to year. The contract is subject to budget changes in the framework agreement period.
