The Altinn2 platform will be stopped in summer 2025, and the Norwegian Tax Administration would like to establish the services that are currently on Altinn2 to a separate platform before then. In order to administer texts at the frontend of these services, the Norwegian Tax Administration would like to procure a text handling tool for login services (the current skatteetaten.no is not part of this scope).
The aim of the procurement is the implementation, operation, administration, and further development of a new text handling tool, including the necessary infrastructure and software. This is to be delivered as a SaaS system. The identified need is for a simple CMS (typically headless first), which is suitable for setting up and administrating text content and Metadata connected to the text in the login public systems.
The estimated total contract value is between NOK 8 million and NOK 23 million, excluding VAT over 8 years. This value estimate is not a binding estimate for the contracting authority and is uncertain.
The Norwegian Tax Authority has no previous experience of what will be procured, which means that the estimate is uncertain.
Future value will depend on, amongst other things, development needs, the public's use of the services, and what type of systems the market can offer in the contest.
