Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: In 2019, Stortingets administrasjon (the Norwegian Parliament Administration) decided on a target image for digitalisation of the parliamentary proceedings, ‘the Norwegian Parliament will exchange, process, publish and preserve parliamentary information digitally and efficiently with good quality’. In extension of this, the administration has reviewed both the concept phase and planning phase in 2020-2021. Project for digitalisation of parliamentary case processing (hereafter abbreviated to DPS) will modernise and streamline the support to the parliamentary work processes, connect to exchange, processing, publishing and preserving parliamentary information. As an extra support, the project should link with one external quality assurer.
The project owner, the Norwegian Parliament's Director, wants to connect with an external quality assurer. The quality assurer will give the project owner and project management thorough analysis of the DPS project and clear advise about measures to secure implementation and goal achievement.
Through the concept and planning phase, the risk for the DPS project was discovered and reduced, and it will be an important management tool in the quality assurance work.
The DPS project has a planned duration of 2.5 years and the external quality assurer will follow the project the entire way. This contract will thereby also have a duration of 2.5 years, but with options to extend (up to four by 6 months), if the project uses more time than anticipated.
