Technical requirements: Open tender contest — procurement of an e-learning programme on review instructions and socio-economic analysis.
The Norwegian Government Agency for Financial Management (DFØ) is the government's expert body on finance and entity management in the government. DFØ is an advisor for central authorities within government financial management and it carries out administration assignments for all government entities.
As a part of DFØ's management of reporting instructions, DFØ offers competence raising measures on how entities shall comply with the review instructions.

DFØ invites tenderers to an open tender contest for the delivery of an e-learning programme on review instructions and socio-economic analyses. The government entities that shall implement new measures shall review the measure in advance, in accordance with the review instructions. The procurement concerns the development and completion of the e-learning programme, including the development of the educational content.
The e-learning programme shall be ready to use by 15.11.2017. The contract contains an option on updating, further development and facilitating of the programme over a 5-year period.
