Norway – Computer equipment and supplies – Framework agreement, computer centre and network equipment.

Description

DSS is currently responsible for providing a secure and operationally stable ICT platform and ensuring user friendly services and systems for ministries on a common ICT platform. From and including 01.01.2025, the Ministries Digitalisation Organisation (DIO) will take over this function and thereby also ownership of these framework agreements. The aim of the procurement is to cover DIO and other included entities ́needs for computer centre and network equipment with the accompanying services. Based on consumption in the last 4 years, the estimated total amount of the procurement is NOK 300 million during the maximum contract period (seven years). Due to great uncertainty connected to the future need for the project New Government Block and Joint ICT Programme/Establishment of the Digitisation Organisation (DIO), the procurement is required to have an economic framework that takes into account this uncertainty. Based on this, the procurement will be announced with a combined maximum financial framework of NOK 700 million. Nok 200,000,000 for sub-contracts NOK 1 and NOK 500 million for lot 2. Construction phase 1 (BT1) is planned to be completed and put to use by the end of 2025. Construction phase 2 (BT2) has the provisional moving date in 2029, an estimate that is considered uncertain. Construction phase 3 (BT3) can also receive deliveries under this contract if this occurs during the contract period. In order to ensure unified, stable and continuing deliveries through BT1,BT2 and BT 3, a contract period that extends beyond the procurement regulations ́ main rule on maximum duration of four years for framework agreements is necessary. Based on this, a framework agreement(s) will be signed for 2 years. The contract can be extended 5 times for 1 year, so that the maximum contract period is 7 years.
