The aim of this prior information notice is to notify tenderers of a planned procurement to establish a framework agreement for the procurement and maintenance of research applications.
The health companies in Helse Sør-Øst currently use various applications to support the region's research activities. This includes, for example, a modelling and analysis tool, graphical production tool and a tool for searches in publication databases and handling references in scientific articles. These tools are included in a portfolio of research software.
The contracting authority would now like one or several framework agreements with 1-3 actors who cover the portfolio. At first this will be approx. 15 applications that run on the users' devices/clients. In addition options are planned for 5-10 other applications. The number of users span from just a few to a few hundred simultaneous users, depending on the application.
An assessment will be made for applications that already have contracts as to what extent and how they will be replaced by the new contract.
A joint meeting will be held with interested suppliers, in which the contracting authority will give a short presentation of the planned procurement and where general questions can be asked. The meeting will be held 15.3.2017, 12:00. There will be a limit of 2 participants per participant, due to possible space restrictions, depending on how many register an interest.
There will be an opportunity after the joint meeting for interested suppliers to participate in one-to-one meetings to go into more detail. These meetings will preferably be held Friday 17.3.2017 as agreed. The meetings could also be held in the following week.
1. The contracting authority would like input as to how support can be handled for a portfolio of software vs. individual applications. Suppliers are asked to provide input during the meeting.
2. The contracting authority will present 1-2 price models for the procurement/hire of software and maintenance. Suppliers are asked to provide input during the meeting.
3. The contracting authority will ask for input on appropriate divisions of our software portfolio, see the attached provisional list of wanted programmes (this list can be adjusted before the competition is announced). Can the entire portfolio be provided, or should it be divided up into several areas? Suppliers are asked to provide input during the meeting.
4. The contracting authority would like input as to how applications that are used in both research and administration/clinics shall be handled (academic/discounted vs. ordinary licences). The contracting authority has health companies in which the uses of the research applications in question can have pure research positions, a mixture of research and clinic positions and pure clinic positions.
Both the joint meeting and the one-to-one meetings will be held in Sykehuspartner's premises in Hoffsveien 1D in Skøyen.
Interested suppliers are asked to make contact via the standard communication module in Mercell. The registration deadline is 9.3.2017, 12:00. Please state your name, contact information and the role of the participants and, at the same time, state whether you are interested in a one-to-one meeting.
