Description

Auto-translated from no

The customer currently has a framework agreement for the purchase of development services, but the financial framework will be depleted during the transition between Q1 and Q2 2027. The utilization of the agreement has been significantly higher than originally anticipated. This is due, among other things, to the fact that the agreement was established before the preliminary project for Digital Grant Management and before the scope of the further digitalization initiative was clear. The purpose of the new framework agreement is to ensure the Customer has access to the necessary expertise and/or capacity throughout the agreement period. The suppliers shall be strategic partners and proactive advisors, support further digitalization, and contribute to solving the Customer's societal mission. The agreement shall particularly support: • the implementation of the initiative for Digital Grant Management and the development of Norad's digital platform. • development, further development, and management of the Customer's data platform, including data integrations, data modeling, data quality, management information, and analysis capabilities. • establishment and further development of knowledge products, such as dashboards, reporting solutions, insight and analysis tools, visualizations, and other user interfaces, that make management, case officers, and other users more knowledge-driven. • reuse of data across systems and processes, so that information can be used effectively in grant management and the Customer's other management and reporting processes. • digitalization of administrative services. • use of digitalization to strengthen the impact of Norwegian development cooperation, including through better use of data, analysis, and digital services for partners and other target groups. • establishment of a modern development factory where the Customer has control over deliveries. • strategic advice on the use of Digital common goods in the digitalization of Norwegian aid work. Contracting authority: Norad – Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation Place of delivery: Oslo Estimated value: 150,000,000 NOK Also published on TED (EU threshold)
