Hamar, Ringsaker, Lillehammer and Gjøvik municipalities have established a co-operation for the implementation of a tender contest regarding an innovation partnership where the objective is to find solutions for better and more efficient forms of winter operations for roads and properties.

The objective of the contest is to enter into a contract with a development partner who, through close cooperation with the contracting authority, will develop a system that meets the contracting authority's need for smart winter operations with effective planning and the right information.

The need for winter operations of roads and properties includes:

— the planning of winter operations,

— commissioning and start-up of operational assignments

— implementation of operational assignments (snow clearing and gritting),

— providing information to the public and interested parties,

— follow-up contracts and administration.
