Description

Auto-translated from no

The purpose of the framework agreement is to ensure that Nkom's need for external contributions is met when the capacity and expertise of its own employees are insufficient, especially in tasks related to security and emergency preparedness. The need may arise on relatively short notice and be of both shorter and longer duration, depending on the project/task. Nkom therefore wishes to enter into cooperation with a few selected parties who can offer a range of different expertise, including in-depth technical knowledge, regulatory understanding, and the ability to work with critical infrastructure, emergency preparedness, and security. Agreements will be made with up to 5 suppliers per professional area. The need is mainly expected to be related to the security department and the new emergency network, but other departments in Nkom may also make calls on the agreement. Nkom does not expect a tenderer to be able to provide offers for all professional areas described below. However, it is permissible to submit offers for multiple areas if the tenderer has the capacity and expertise to cover more than one professional area. The necessary competence/experience must be met within the professional areas for which an offer is submitted. The tenderer must clearly specify which professional area(s) their offer covers. Through cooperation with one or more tenderers, the framework agreement will apply to the procurement of consulting services within the following professional areas: Professional Area 1 - Security and emergency preparedness Professional Area 2* - Trust services Professional Area 3 - Technological expertise Professional Area 4 - Economics Professional Area 5 - Project management * For professional area 2, there is currently an existing agreement. A sub-contract for this professional area will only commence upon the expiry of the existing agreement, which is at the end of 2026. Within these areas, various expertise is sought. Appendix 1 lists an overview of the necessary competence/experience related to each area. The contracting authority's detailed description of the delivery is provided in SSA-R Appendix 1.
