Technical requirements: Stavanger municipality's websites shall be the natural channel for inhabitants, businesses and other visitors to find information on the municipality's services.
The websites are the municipality's presentation layer to the public and shall offer useful, available and simple sites with a functional design that is appropriate for both stationary and mobile screens.
Stavanger municipality has, as its general aim, to change the structure of its websites from an organisation and theme orientated website structure to a task/user orientated website structure. The system shall function optimally, regardless of whether the visitor accesses the website from their mobile, tablet or desktop computer.
A portal like the one we shall administer will, out of necessity, be relatively comprehensive and large, as the municipality has 130 000 inhabitants and the target groups are big and complex.
We shall facilitate and make many different types of services available that are relevant for the inhabitants in different phases of their lives.
We have an obligation to provide information on how we prioritise and use our inhabitants' money. The municipality would like greater contribution from inhabitants and participation in the political processes in the municipality.
We would like a tender who will and who has the competence, to develop the websites further in the future.
The contract period for the maintenance contract is 4 years, with an option for a further extension from the contracting authority for 2 + 2 years.

K 01 Tax and VAT certificate — Requirement: Tenderers are not to have significant tax or VAT arrears, or an approved repayment plan exists. Norwegian tenderers shall present tax certificates from the municipality where the tenderer has his main office, as well as any approved repayment plans. These certificates must be presented before the deadline for receipt of tenders and must not be older than 6 months from the deadline for tenders. Tenderers can order a joint certificate for tax and VAT themselves via Altinn. Foreign tenderers must provide certificates from equivalent authorities to the Norwegian authorities.
K 02 Company Registration Certificate — Requirement: The tenderer must be a legally established company. Documentation: Company Registration Certificate or equivalent from the tenderer's home country.
K 04 — Credit rating — Requirement: As documentation, the Contracting Authority will obtain the credit rating Commercial Delphi Score from Experian (the Contracting Authority subscribes services from Experian). Tenderers must achieve a minimum rating of ‘creditworthy’ (score 5). The tenderer is expected to have familiarised himself with registered information about the company and by submission of the tender accepts that the information will be obtained and form the basis of the assessment of the tenderer's financial situation. If the tenderer knows that the requirement regarding the financial capacity to carry out the contract cannot be met via the credit rating as specified above, the tenderer can submit other documentation with the tender that confirms/explains a satisfactory financial capacity. If the contracting authority's credit information about the individual company does not include a credit rating, the contracting authority will seek to have this documentation requirement met in another way, either by assessing whether the financial capacity is satisfactory based on the other information that should be available in the solution from Experian or by obtaining other documentation. In those situations where a tenderer relies on other companies' capacity to achieve qualification, the tenderer shall substantiate to the contracting authority that he has access to the necessary resources, e.g. by presenting a binding statement on this from the involved companies. Documentation of access to the resources shall be enclosed with the tender. Other companies are defined as other legal entities (legal subject) than the tenderer himself.
K 04 — Experience. Requirement: Experience from similar assignments. Documentation of excellent implementation ability is required. Documentation: A list of the principal deliveries or provided services the previous three years. The list shall contain a brief description of the assignment, the scope/value of the delivery, date and name of the customer and a short description, telephone no., email address and name of the customer's contact person. Relevant customers from the list may be contacted.
