DFØ's task is to strengthen the government financial management and improve the use of resources in the area.

DFØ is an advisor for central authorities within government financial management and it carries out administration assignments for all government entities. DFØ also provides financial services to approx. 80 percent of the governmental entities in Norway.

DFØ is holding an open tender contest with the intention of entering into a framework agreement with several tenderers so as to cover DFØ's need for consultancy services for various competence areas. The framework agreements will be valid for 3 years with an option for DFØ to extend the contract for up to 1 year. The framework agreements will be valid from when the contract is signed.

DFØ requests, through this tender contest, consultancy services related to 5 various competence areas. Each area is an object for the competition. Tenderers can therefore choose to submit a tender that covers one or several competence areas. Each competence area will be evaluated separately.

Consultancy services are requested for the following competence areas:

— Regulations administration, governmental accountancy and financial management,

— Evaluation and mapping,

— Socio economics analyses/studies,

— Benefit realisation,

— Department and operation management.
