Technical requirements: R01138 Pre-qualification project management system on local data centre with closed network (on-premises)
Forsvarsbygg [the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency] wants to use this contest to enter into a contract with a supplier who can offer project management system for major and minor construction and maintenance projects at local data centres (on-premises). The system will support the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency’ project methodology and work processes that build on Lean Construction, VDC, digital interaction and communication, in addition to systematic completion. Project management and interaction between the builder, contractor and engineering design group carried out by the Client must be safeguarded.
The solution will thus contribute to efficiency and improvement in projects where roles in the project can interact and send actions, cases and documents to each other on the fly. The system must be a closed data centre and function without any form for external connection from the data centre as well as without the possibility of a cloud solution or remote control/remote trouble shooting. It must be able to be operated and managed in the client’ local infrastructure with local installation, updating, upgrading and license management.
Duration: The contract is for two (2) years. The contract will then be renewed automatically for 1 (one) year at a time, unless 3 (three) months notice is given by the contracting authority before the renewal date. The tenderer has the option to terminate the contract 12 (twelve) months prior to the notification of contract renewal.
During the first year the Client wants to assess expanded use for up to 200 licences on the same platform. Therefore it can be relevant to increase the number of licenses if the Client sees a need to use the system on other projects and programs from here on out. The number of licenses depends on how many and which projects will use the system in the future.
Option to further extend use by up to 2,000 users on other closed or open platforms. This can be relevant for 2-5 years, but great uncertainty is connected to whether the options will be triggered, and in so fall in which size and when.
The Client’ requirements concerning the system are specified in Appendix 1 to Annex 1 - Requirement Specification and Answer Form.

The invitation point 4.1) based on the tenderer’ documentation. Particular emphasis will be placed on the tenderer’ experience with comparable assignments.
