In accordance with Statens innkjøpssenter's category strategy ICT, a procurement is to be made in order to establish a new joint government contract for PC equipment that covers both PC clients, PC monitors, Mac, and additional equipment.

The aim of the procurement is to sign a joint government contract with up to three tenderers for the procurement of PC equipment, provided that there are a sufficient number of suitable tenders.

The sub-contract is for the procurement of PC clients, PC monitors, and additional equipment.

There are several factors that will influence the number of units that will be procured under this sub-contract, from the lifetime of the units procured under the contract, to the use of additional services and price changes. The most decisive factor for the scope of the sub-contract is the number of government entities that join or leave.

There are 168 government entities covered by this sub-contract. Based on the number of employees in these entities, we estimate that the annual procurements will be approx. 20,000 PC clients and 25,000 PC monitors.

With the inclusion of an estimate of the procurements of additional equipment and additional services, sub-contract 1 will have an estimated annual value of approx. NOK 650 million. Attention is drawn to the fact that the estimates are not binding for the contract owner and contracting authorities. The maximum value over the contract period, including option periods, will be NOK 3.500 billion.

With the inclusion of an estimate of the procurements of additional equipment and additional services, sub-contract 2 will have an annual value of approx. NOK 150 million. Attention is drawn to the fact that the estimates are not binding for the contract owner and contracting authorities. The maximum value over the contract period, for sub-contract 2, including the option periods, will be NOK 800 million.

These estimates are very uncertain, as it is the first time that a joint government contract will be established for the procurement of Mac, and the contract owner does not have good data and statistics for the product area. At the same time, the procurements of PCs from other manufacturers are far more widespread in the public sector.
