Norway - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support

Description

Klagenemndssekretariatet (KNSE og Oppdragsgiver) [the Norwegian Appeals Board Secretariat] (KNSE and contracting authority) is a government appeals body established on the 1 April 2017. The body has 22 employees of which four are administrative employees and 18 jurists that work with appeals processing and appeals cases. The Norwegian Appeals Board Secretariat serves seven appeals boards subject to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, the Oil and Energy Department and the Culture Department. These appeals boards are: the appeals board for public procurements, the tender appeals board, the foundation appeals board, the lottery board, the register of non-profit organisations board, media appeals board and energy appeals board.KNSE wants to sign a contract with one supplier. The tenderer will ensure that IT infrastructure will be operated and maintained completely outside of KNSE's organisation and KNSE there needs external assistance to move the current IT infrastructure over to their own sand-alone IT infrastructure, as well as assist in ongoing IT operation/operation of different IT services.Click here https://permalink.mercell.com/133947924.aspx
KNSE’s IT structure was built up by the Konkurransetilsynet (KT) [the Norwegian Competition Authority]. Operation of IT has until now been carried out by the IT department in KT and IT operation consists primarily of operation of the archive system P360, networks and servers and mail system. KNSE currently has partially common IT infrastructure with the Norwegian Competition Authority where IT is operated with the help of virtual servers partially in KT's computer room and partially in KNSE's premises (switch/patch room).From the 1 November 2020, KNSE will have their own IT infrastructure and operation. KNSE does not have employees with responsibility and expertise for IT architecture and does not want this in the future. It is preferable that KNSE's IT infrastructure is operated and maintained completely outside of KNSE's organisation and KNSE therefore has a need for external assistance to move the current IT infrastructure over to a stand-alone IT infrastructure, as well as contribute to the ongoing IT operation/operation of different IT services. KNSE wants to sign a contract with one supplier.It is preferable that the tenderer implements the establishment project in the period right after signing the contract; i.e. from the start of November to the second week of December, with delivery on the 11 December 2020 so that KNSE is on the new functioning operational platform from that point in time.For further information about KNSE's need and the existing IT structure, see Annex 1 and Annex 3.
