Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: Gjøvik Municipality, hereafter called the contracting authority, invites tenderers to a restricted tender contest for the procurement of IT security services, including monitoring security, event monitoring and stand-by, security testing, and security advice.
- A contract will be signed with one - 1 tenderer for monitoring security, event. monitoring, and stand-by.
- A contract will be signed with 2-3 tenderers for security testing. Call-offs under the contracts will be made as mini-competitions, where price and delivery time will be the award criteria.
- A contract will be signed with 3-5 tenderers for security advice. Call-offs under the contracts will be made as mini-competitions, where price and delivery time will be the award criteria.
The estimated annual volume for monitoring security is set to approx. NOK 300,000 - NOK 500,000, the volume for event monitoring and stand-by, and security testing will be approx. NOK 100,000 - NOK 200,000, and the volume for security advice will be approx. NOK 200,000 - NOK 400,000.
Tenderers can register an interest for each individual area, but also in total for several or all areas.
Gjøvik Municipality has 30,267 inhabitants and 3286 employees[1], and is, thus, a medium sized municipality.
Gjøvik Municipality is part of the Gjøvik region, which is an inter-municipal collaboration between Gjøvik, Vestre Toten, Østre Toten, Søndre Land and Nordre Land. There is cooperation in the region on some IT services, but
The above data is included as there is a concept review on how ICT cooperation in the region will be organised in the future. It is therefore possible that one or more municipalities, in addition to Gjøvik Municipality, would like to be part of the services requested in this tender. The needs would largely be the same, but the annual cost estimate will vary in this case. Further descriptions in the tender will therefore apply for Gjøvik Municipality, hereafter called the contracting authority.
The contracting authority carries out daily operations on the ICT systems itself, and is largely independent of external actors, but does have collaboration contracts where expertise is required. IT security is such an area
where the contracting authority would now like to join up with several partners within several IT security areas.
The contracting authority has standardised on Microsoft, and uses a broad spectrum of Microsoft's security portfolio to maintain an acceptable security level. The network infrastructure is standardised on Cisco, and
trends are also followed to make systems and applications more available from the Cloud where appropriate.
The total picture for the IT infrastructure is therefore a hybrid system, where services, systems, and applications exist either in the cloud, or in a separate computer centre, or in both places. The contracting authority is mature as regards IT operation and use of technologies, and sees the importance of IT security work being in line with the development and digitalisation of services.
