Norvège - Services de conseil en systèmes et techniques - Dialogue de marché sur l'exploitation et le développement des sites web des communes

Invitation to participation in the market dialogue. Asker, Bærum and Drammen municipalities plan to hold a competition for a new contract for the operation and development of websites on Optimizely DXP. Before the competition is announced, we would like a dialogue with the market in the form of one-to-one meetings with relevant tenderers, who can offer systems that cover the municipalities ́needs. The dialogue meetings will be held digitally during week 9. We would like to carry out a combined procurement process to enter into three separate contracts with the same tenderer. The municipalities have in common that we use the same CMS (Optimizely DXP) on version CMS12. The aim is that cooperation, development and sharing across the municipalities take place seamlessly between the three municipalities. Through new contracts a collaborating partner shall be able to support the operation and development of the websites in Asker, Bærum and Drammen municipalities. A collaborating partner must be able to contribute to and deliver the following (the list is not exhaustive): - Stable and safe operation - High competence in Optimizely DXP and resource robustness. - Continual improvement - Development and future orientated focus. - User-oriented focus - Consultancy and competence sharing. - Project management in development. System integration - Design and concept development Close dialogue in both daily operation and development. We would like tenderers to give a presentation of their service offer, which states something about how they can contribute to fulfil the municipalities ́needs. We would also like tenderers to have prepared answers to questions defined in annex 2.
