The contest is for a framework agreement for consultancy services for measuring the effect of DOGA's work.

DOGA receives annual subsidies from KDD and NFD. The aim of the subsidies is to promote sustainable social and business development through the use of design methodology and architecture, and to contribute to increased total value creation in Norway within sustainable frameworks.

DOGA works structurally with obtaining knowledge and measuring effects in order to get insight and document the effect of our projects and programmes. We follow-up the measurement of effects systematically at defined intervals in order to document, get insight, and learn. This forms a basis for the further development of DOGA's portfolio so that the most effective activities are prioritised.

DOGA would like assistance from an external competence environment with measuring effects and obtaining knowledge. The knowledge bases will be a guide in adjusting our innovation policies in accordance with the needs of our target groups and the desired social effect.

The contract will cover DOGA's need for a knowledge basis on the effect of DOGA's work through:

Obtaining knowledge

Qualitative analysis

Quantitative analysis

Trailing research

Major surveys require a combination of methodologies.

DOGA's work is aimed at areas where we expect that our fields have the greatest positive social effect:

Design and architect driven business development

Design and architect driven system and service innovation in the public sector

Design and architect drivne town and place development

The effects are to be measured according to control indicators as described in DOGA's goal and result management system. DOGA's goal and result management system

The budget estimate is NOK 5.5 million for 6 years.

The contract value is estimated to be above the EEA threshold value. The need is 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.

Maximum value including options and expected price increases: NOK 5.5 million excluding VAT.

See the procurement documents for further information.

Lots/groups

Tenders cannot be submitted for parts of the assignment, and alternative tenders are not allowed. The contracting authority considered dividing the contract in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations §19-4, but has decided that this is favourable.

Framework agreement

The assignment will be regulated by the attached framework agreement with the accompanying standard agreement terms.

The contracting authority will sign a contract with 1 tenderer.

The justification for the contract length is that the chosen tenderer must carry out 2 major surveys in the contract period per area of priority/sub-goal.

The contracting authority expects that the tenderer studies the contractual terms and makes the required internal clarifications in such a way that a contract can be signed if awarded.
