The tenderer must be a legally established company.

Documentation requirement:

Furthermore, interested parties must document to the contracting authority that they can use the relevant and necessary resources at the company, for example, by enclosing a binding statement.

Note that the contracting authority also requires that tenderers have their tax, payroll tax and VAT payments in order, c.f. the qualification documentation point 2.1. The following documentation requirement applies for the latter qualification requirement:

— Norwegian tenderers shall submit a certificate, either from the tax collector or the Norwegian Tax Authority, which states the extent of any tax, employer contribution and VAT payment arrears.

Minste nivå(er) av standarder:

— Tenderers shall have their tax, employer contribution and VAT payments in order.

Teknisk og faglig kapasitet:

Qualification Requirement:

During the last three years tenderers shall have

— delivered a system or provided a software service to at least one external customer, this system of service provision shall

a) include the functionality described in the first bullet point in point 1.2 in the qualification documentation

b) handled a minimum of 50 simultaneous agents and

c) over a 12 month period in the last three years, handled a minimum of 250 000 enquiries, of which a minimum of 50 % must have been incoming

— delivered a system or provided a software service to at least one external customer, this system or service shall include the functionality described in the second bullet point in 1.2 in the qualification documentation and

a) include the functionality described in the third bullet point in point 1.2 in the qualification documentation.

If a system or software service has been delivered in accordance with each hyphenated point above to more than one external customer, this will, if the tenderer fulfils the other requirements, be credited in the selection assessment, c.f. point 3.2 in the qualification documentation.

Emphasis is put on the fact that the terms in each hyphenated point shall be read in isolation from the other two hyphenated points. Tenderers, thus, need not have delivered a system or provided a software service to the same customer that covers all three hyphenated points. To the degree that this has however been done, it will, if the tenderer fulfils the other requirements, be credited in the selection assessment, c.f. point 3.3 in the qualification documentation.

Documentation requirement:

Tenderers shall enclose an account that proves that the company in question fulfils all the elements in the qualification requirement. The account shall, at a minimum, include a description the contractual relationship(s) that the tenderer is or has been a party to, which proves fulfilment of the qualification requirement, including information on

— each contractual relationship's nature and extent, including a statement of the hyphenated point(s) in the requirement text in point 2.4 in the qualification documentation that each contractual relationship covers

— each contractual relationship's value and length,

— the date each contractual relationship was established,

— the name of the public or private contracting party in each contractual relationship, as well as

— the name, telephone number and email address of a contact person at each contracting party.

If the interested party shall rely on sub-contractors for the fulfilment of the current qualification requirement, the interested party must otherwise demonstrate to the Contracting Authority that the interested party can use the sub-contractor's relevant and necessary resources for the current procurement, for example, by submitting a commitment statement.

Prosedyre
Forventet antall kandidater: 7
Objektive utvelgelseskriterier:

The following selection criterium, Selection Criterium #1, is given an evaluation weighting of 30 percent, whilst the next selection criterium, Selection Criterium #2, is given an evaluation weighting of 70 percent. The qualified tenderer who, to the greatest degree, fulfils each selection criterium, will be given ten points in relation to the actual selection criterium, whilst the other qualified tenderers will be given points according to a proportional method. The seven qualified tenderers who, after the achieved, weighted points from the two selection criteria have been summed up, have the highest number of points, will be invited to participate in the competition.

Selection criterium #1:

To what extent the tenderer has, in the last 3 years, delivered a system or provided a software service as described in each of the three hyphenated points in the requirement text in point 2.4 to more than one external customer.

The contracting authority will count per mentioned hyphenated point in the evaluation. If, for example, a system was delivered or a software service was provided to one and the same external customer that covers two of the hyphenated points, then in relation to only one of the hyphenated points, such a delivery or service will count twice in the evaluation. Equivalently, if, for example, a system is delivered or a software service is provided to one and the same external customer that covers all 3 hyphenated points, such a delivery or service will count three times as much as a delivery or service that only covers one hyphenated point. Deliveries or services that fall within the previous sentence will, in addition, be credited in accordance with Selection Criterium #2, c.f. point 3.3. in the qualification documentation.

Documentation requirement:

Fulfilment of Selection Criterium #1 must be documented by a reply that the tenderer shall prepare for qualification requirement point 2.4 in the qualification documentation.

Selection Criterium #2:

The degree to which a tenderer has, in the last three years, delivered a system or provided a software service to one and the same external customer that covers all three hyphenated points in the requirement text in point 2.4 in the qualification documentation.

Fulfilment of Selection Criterium #2 must be documented by a reply that the tenderer shall prepare for qualification requirement point 2.4 in the qualification documentation.
