Prosedyre
Prosedyretype
Åpen anbudskonkurranse ✅
Rettslig grunnlag: Direktiv 2014/24/EU
Hovedtrekk ved prosedyren:

Kristiansand municipality is a large organisation in continuous development. Even if the municipality has recently carried out a major OU process in central staff areas, the need for organisational support and development work could still occur - both planned and unforeseen. The staff areas are experiencing an increasing demand for assistance from service areas for development, change and digitalisation processes. In order to ensure flexibility and implementation ability, we would like flexible options for purchasing specialist competence as needed. At the same time, it is a clear goal to strengthen the municipality's own professional environments, so that internal employees and managers carry out as much of the work themselves as possible – with external competence such as support, sparring partner or quality assurer as needed. The framework agreement shall ensure access to relevant OU competence, including digitalisation, technology, process improvement and organisation design. Support internal professional environments and contribute to capacity and competence building in the organisation. Provide access to top management support and strategic sparring in demanding decision making situations. Provide assistance with reviews and development work throughout the organisation. Facilitate combined teams, where the municipality does most of the work itself, whilst external assistance is used as method support, capacity or quality assurance. Ensure an independent and professional outside look when desirable or necessary.

Rettslig grunnlag:

The procurement will be made in accordance with the Public Procurement Act of 17 June 2016 (LOA) and the public procurement regulations dated 12 August 2016 (FOA) parts I and part III.
