Pasientreiser ANS invites tenderers to a negotiated procedure for the procurement of an ICT system for planning and optimising patient travels. The system shall be used by the Patient Travel Offices and it shall support the process of planning and executing patient transport out to contracted transporters. A central component in this connection is the ICT system's ability to generate proposals for patient travels that are suitable for coordination, as well as provide the travel planners with proposals for optimal travel routes and vehicle management.

The procurement will consist of the procurement/development of the software that shall be established. Furthermore, the following three options are included:

— Establishment of requisitions at the Patient Travel Offices.

— Application for mobile units that ensure good two-way communication with transporters.

— Maintenance contract for the procured system.

Primarily, the contracting authority would like to procure an ICT system that is based, to the greatest possible degree, on ready developed software (a commercial off the shelf product), with the necessary adaptations and integrations. A commercial off the shelf product means a system that covers as much of the need as possible as a part of the system's standard functionality, i.e. functionality is not developed that is already available in package systems/commercial off the shelf products. Not all of the functionality is expected to be covered by standard systems, some needs are expected to be covered through configuration and/or further development.

The ICT system shall be operated by and located at Norsk Helsenett SF (Norway).
