Technical requirements: A cooperation partner shall be chosen, who shall solve and/or see to the assignments in this requirement specification. This includes:
- Functional and technical testing of the system (including requirements for availability, security etc.)
Sketches for the design, structure and functionality of the system shall be developed in close cooperation with the Election Directorate.
- The design shall be based on the Election profile and/or the Election Directorate's profile, depending on the content, target group and intention.
- The structure and functionality shall be based on the information that is currently on valg.no — a sub-website of regjeringen.no which is made in Episerver and — valglokaler.no which is made in WordPress. The new website does not need to take the technology choices that were previously made into consideration. Information and content from these websites must, however, be migrated to the new website and adapted to new needs. Both of the domains shall continue to be used.
- In addition a homepage shall be made for the Election Directorate, with information on the directorate, contact information etc.
Tenderers shall be a legally established company. In addition the person who signs the tender shall be authorised to commit the tenderer to the tender. A company register certificate issued by the Brønnøysund Register Centre (or equivalent for foreign tenderers) shall be enclosed, which shows the tenderer's company information, including information on the persons authorised to sign/proxy, as valid on the tender deadline.
The tender shall clearly state if a Tenderer would like to prove that the qualification requirements are fulfilled by referring to the capacity in organisations or companies that the Tenderer is indirectly or directly connected to. In such cases tenderers are required, in real terms, to have these organisations or companies' resources at their disposal. This shall be documented by a mutually encumbering commitment statement, cf. FOA § 17-8 (2) and § 17-9 (2).
The requirement applies for the fulfilment of the qualification requirements. Sub-suppliers that the tenderer would like to use in the framework agreement period do not, thus, need to bind themselves in this way.
If a Tenderer will not use sub-suppliers to fulfil the qualification requirements, this requirement does not apply.
Tenderers shall have their tax and VAT payments updated and they shall not have significant tax arrears. Tax certificates shall therefore be enclosed for the tenderer's tax and VAT payments, which are not older than 6 months.

Tenderers shall have stable finances and sufficient financial capacity, so that stable security of supplies can be expected throughout the entire contract period.

Tenderers shall refer to sufficient experience with equivalent Customers. Tenderers shall show that they know the target group and how it can best be met.
Tenderers shall have a good and adequate reception apparatus to deal with both the development, operation and support.
