Bergen Municipality is planning a contest for the procurement of consultancy and advisory services within ICT.
The aim of the procurement is to get contracts in place that ensure capacity and the necessary additional competences for the digitalisation work in Bergen Municipality and collaboration that Bergen Municipality is a part of.
Framework agreements are planned with several tenderers, possibly also one or more dynamic purchasing systems.
The digitalisation work in Bergen Municipality comprises efficiency improvement, modernisation, innovation, and changes through the use of ICT and digital systems. This work will improve the service production and ensure that the municipality's target groups receive good quality services.
New contract(s) will replace the current framework agreements within performance development and performance management, digitalisation, profit realisation and changes, portfolio management, and portfolio administration, as well as process management and process development. Relevant competence areas are, for example, project management, project participation, change management, entity architecture, service design, information security, etc. There are ongoing clarifications as to which disciplines will be included in the contest. Disciplines that are being discussed are, amongst other things, competence related to operation, and service management.
Prior to any preparation and publication of the procurement, Bergen Municipality would like to use this notice to get knowledge of the market and input that can be important for us to include in any tender documentation.
We would like to invite suppliers to a market dialogue with a workshop for the presentation of the municipality's needs and with the possibility for a discussion and feedback from market actors. Bergen Municipality would like a discussion and feedback on some problems that will be presented before the meeting.
The workshop is split into two, where part 1 will be a short presentation of the municipality's needs and part 2 will be feedback on the planned contest.
It will be possible to participate digitally in the information part of the workshop (part 1), scheduled from 12:00 - approx. 13:00.
Registration for the market dialogue/workshop can be done on the following form (registration form - workshop - procurement - consultancy services ICT in Bergen Municipality (office.com)).
Suppliers can be present with maximum 2 participants physically at the meeting. All the participants must register via the above form.
The problems that will be discussed in the workshop will be available via Mercell by 23 May at 12:00 hrs. A short summary of the main points will be uploaded after the workshop.
Market actors can send us written feedback on the problems via the communication module in Mercell. Feedback received via Mercell will be made anonymous and can be included in the summary that is published after the workshop. The deadline for such feedback is Friday 3 June.
If a supplier has other feedback on this contest, it can be sent via Mercell and will not be shared with other relevant tenderers.
