The contest is for the delivery of a system for digital home follow-up and a framework agreement for technical medicine equipment connected to digital home follow-up for automatic registration of measurements.

See point 1.1.1 for a description of the participants in the contract.

The municipalities in Helsefellesskapet Østfold have, in cooperation with Østfold Hospital Trust, an ongoing project under the aegis of the National Welfare Technology Programme for spreading digital home follow-up in the region. This project involves the hospital, GPs, and number of municipalities in the region. As a prerequisite for further service developments, we are now ready to procure a system for digital home follow-up.

Such a system consists of • A follow-up system for administration and use by health personnel • An app for use by patients that will receive follow-up • Medical measuring equipment that can be used to take simple measurements at home (framework agreement).

The value of the system is estimated to be above the EEA threshold. The framework agreement will have an estimated value of: NOK 1,500,000 excluding VAT a year. The maximum value of the framework agreement, including any options and expected price increases is NOK 12,000,000 excluding VAT.

This is a new system and the need is therefore very uncertain. The value can be both higher and lower, and will depend on, among other things, the contracting authority's needs, activities, budgetary situation and other framework factors.

See the procurement documents for further information.
