Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The contracting authority would like tenders for the development of concepts for modern contract follow-up within winter operations in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) is responsible for the operation of more than 50 000 km of roads, which is done through hundreds of different operational contracts. An entity development project is ongoing in the NPRA in order to improve winter operations in Norway. One work package in this project is follow-up and management systems for winter operations contracts. Contract follow-up is currently done via several different systems and tools, but it is a fragmented landscape that is characterised by many time consuming manual processes. The aim of the work package is to modernise the system side of contract follow-up.

— digitalisation and automation of manual processes, for example, by improving integration with other systems,
— flexibility both as regards the integration of new data sources and adaptation to new contract requirements.
We would like assistance to go from these aims to ready developed concepts, where we simultaneously take other ongoing projects that can be relevant into consideration. These concepts must be able to function as a decision basis for management in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, who will assess “the way forward”.
If needed, the tenderer must assist by forwarding knowledge and experience from the concept development phase to other persons on the contracting authority´s side, in order to ensure that the project can go from a concept phase to a product development phase.
Tenderers must submit the ESPD together with the request for participation in the competition, or together with the tender.
Tenderers must have their tax, employer's national insurance contributions and value-added tax payments in order.
A tax and VAT certificate, issued by a competent body in the tenderer´s home country, or the country where the tenderer is established. The certificate must show whether the tenderer has paid his taxes, duties and social insurance.
Tenderers must have their tax, employer's national insurance contributions and value-added tax payments in order.

A tenderer who is newly established and cannot submit references, must be particularly careful to demonstrate that they have the prerequisites to carry out the assignment.
Newly established tenderers can document the required experience by referring to experience that the offered persons/resources have developed in service for other providers.
