Technical requirements: We would like to replace the trade system that is used for the use of and updating the register of persons in Norway who can undertake lawyer or legal help activities, as well as assistant lawyers. We would like to procure a future orientated and secure system that not only sees to the Supervisory Council's needs, but also facilitates other public entities having access to information in the register. We would like to modernise the way we approach existing processes. We would also like to join up with other authoritative registers and automatically obtain necessary information from these. The Supervisory Council would like to replace the current system with a trade system/standardised CRM system for registering information on lawyers, assistant lawyers, legal helpers, and other title holders under our area of supervision. The trade system must be based on standard Software-as-a-service 'SaaS' cloud service(s). See the attached annexes to SSA-small cloud, particularly annex 1 for further details on the delivery.
