Technical requirements: The contest is for the delivery of a system for digital home follow-up and a framework agreement for technical medicine equipment connected to digital home follow-up for automatic registration of measurements.
The municipalities in Helsefellesskapet Østfold have, in cooperation with Østfold Hospital Trust, an ongoing project under the aegis of the National Welfare Technology Programme for spreading digital home follow-up in the region. This project involves the hospital, GPs, and number of municipalities in the region. As a prerequisite for further service developments, we are now ready to procure a system for digital home follow-up.
Such a system consists of • A follow-up system for administration and use by health personnel • An app for use by patients that will receive follow-up • Medical measuring equipment that can be used to take simple measurements at home (framework agreement).
The value of the system is estimated to be above the EEA threshold. The framework agreement will have an estimated value of: NOK 1,500,000 excluding VAT a year. The maximum value of the framework agreement, including any options and expected price increases is NOK 12,000,000 excluding VAT.
This is a new system and the need is therefore very uncertain. The value can be both higher and lower, and will depend on, among other things, the contracting authority's needs, activities, budgetary situation and other framework factors.
A draft of the tender documentation is attached to this qualification documentation. The contracting authority reserves the right to make smaller, unsubstantial alterations of the documentation prior to inviting the tenderers to submit tenders.
Tenders cannot be submitted for parts of the assignment, and alternative tenders are not allowed. The contracting authority has considered dividing the assignment but has decided that it is not suitable for this type of procurement.
The contracting authority will use the Government's Standard Contracts (SSA-L) for the procurement of a platform for digital home follow-up. The completed tender reply with annexes will make up the contract appendices.
The contracting authority expects that the tenderer is familiar with the contract provisions and makes the necessary internal clarifications in such a way that a contract can be signed if awarded.
The procurement of technological medicine equipment for digital home follow-up for automatic registration of measurements will be regulated by the attached framework agreement, with the accompanying standard terms.
The framework agreement will be valid from and including 2023-05-19 until and including 2025-05-18, with an option for up to 2 years extension, 12 months at a time for the contracting authority.
The contracting authority expects that the tenderer studies the contractual terms and makes the required internal clarifications in such a way that a contract can be signed if awarded.
Documentation requirement: Requirement for certificate of paid VAT, tax and social security contribution. A certificate issued by the competent authority in the tenderer's country, confirming that the tenderer has met the obligations in regard to payment of VAT, tax and social security contributions in the country where the tenderer/contractor has its headquarters the (Norwegian certificate for Tax and VAT is combined and ordered from altinn.no, RF-1507, previously RF-1244) in accordance with the legislation in the country where the tenderer is registered. The certificate must not be more than six months old.

If you have submitted a tax certificate to the contracting authority and it is still valid at the time of the tender submission for this contract the tender submission deadline, for this contest, you are not obliged to submit a certificate now.
