Details

Statistics Norway (SSB) currently uses systems from Microsoft for large parts of the IT environment, both on server and client side, not to mention office support and interaction systems. We have a mix of on-premises and services in a cloud, where office support is largely based on systems in Microsoft 365, whilst some server systems are still running on Windows servers in their own data centre. Our existing contract for Microsoft licences and consulting has been entered into with SoftwareOne. The tender contest involves a new agreement for licences and consultancy services.

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.
