The contracting authority shall enter into an agreement for a module for a tender implementation system (KGV) and a module for a contract administration system (KAV), henceforth also referred to as the solution. The solution shall safeguard the requirements for implementation of public procurements in accordance with the Public Procurement Act/the Public procurement regulations. The paramount objective of the contract is to ensure electronic delivery of tenders. However, KGV shall also contribute to increased efficiency and systematise all stages of the procurement processes. The contracting authority also expects that the KGV shall replace manual routines for the implementation of tender contests, an that the users do not experience the new system as an additional task for already established routines. KAV shall provide NAV a adequate review of contract statuses, and shall be used as a management tool for following up the contracts.

The contracting authority also expects the solution to provide a better overview of ongoing, completed and scheduled procurement processes, as well as a statistics/reports functionality.

Expectations for the KGV and KAV solution:

— The solution shall contribute to increased efficency, structuring and systematisation for all stages of all procurement processes and the administration work — planning, implementing, following up and controls.

— The KGV and KAV solution shall have a smooth workflow in Norwegian with Norwegian process and user support.

— Good functionality for role and access control and good possibilities for progressing statistics and reports.

— KGV shall replace the use of manual routines for the tender implementation.

— The KGV tool shall support all procurement procedures and have a good functionality for contract award and follow up of parallel framework agreements and mini tender contests.

— KAV shall contribute to providing NAV a good overview/status of the contracts. The solution shall also be used as a management tool for following the agreements.

— The contracting authority estimates that approx. 70 users will use the KGV module and KAV module. Approx. 20 users will use the KAV module after the solution has been implemented.

— Simplified dialogue between NAV and the supplier.

— Contribute to standardisation, rationalisation, professionalization and simplification of the procurement activities.

— Instruct the users through all stages of the procurement process (process support).

— Simple documentation management.

NAV shall have the option for integration towards the standard NOARK-5 filing system (Web case).
