Details

The Directorate of Fisheries would like to enter into framework agreements for IT consultants within 5 different competence areas/categories. We will hire the desired resources as needed for digitalisation. Several parallel framework agreements shall be signed for each of the five competence areas listed below. The tenderers who best fulfil the requirements in the requirement specifications within the different competence areas will be awarded contracts within the individual competence area(s) where the tenderer is best qualified. Tenderers can submit tenders for one, several or all of the categories. The awarding of framework agreements within each individual competence area will be undertaken independently of each other. One tenderer can, therefore, be awarded several of the relevant framework agreements, and for each competence area the Directorate of Fisheries will award framework agreements to the 3 best tenderers. 15 contracts shall be signed in total for the entire procurement. The Directorate of Fisheries will hold call-offs in the form of mini-competitions between suppliers with a framework agreement within each competence area, in order to find the most suitable resources to cover the need. The consultancy services are divided into the following 5 competence areas: 1. System development and technical testing 2. Technical project management within digitalisation and digital transformation. 3. Computer platform and information management 4. Operation of a digital platform (DevOps/SRE) 5. Local operations/cloud operation The service is provided by incorporating consultants into our already existing team who are responsible for both development and operation/monitoring and assist there with their competence and capacity. The framework agreements shall initially be valid from approx. 10.03.2027 and will have a duration of one year, with an option for a 1+1+1 year extension of the agreements. The estimated total value for the entire procurement is NOK 250 million excluding VAT. Need and value will, however, vary within the different competence areas. See the tender documentation for more information.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this it & telecom opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
