Norway - Custom software development services - Service concession - HSE card

All entities that carry out work at construction sites, all approved cleaning companies, certified entities in vehicle care, wheel shifts and wheel storage, as well as entities that transport the goods of others by car (from 1 January 2026) and other entities that possibly be subject to the rules in the future, both Norwegian and foreign, are obliged to equip their employees with HSE cards. The users of the system are these entities as well as other public and private actors with a factual and appropriate need for access to the system (User/Users). The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has given the Contracting Authority responsibility for the HSE card. The Contracting Authority is in the starting point responsible for the operation and maintenance of all work connected to the HSE card, including establishment, operation, maintenance, further development of the necessary systems for the HSE card, as well as design, production, personalisation and distribution of the HSE card (the HSE card scheme) and that The HSE card scheme functions as intentional. In connection with entering into this agreement, the contracting authority will transfer the responsibility for the HSE card scheme resulting from this contract to the Tenderer as a service concession. This means that the tenderer ́s remuneration fully consists of the right to offer HSE cards and associated services as defined in the contract for payment from the Users. It also means that the operational risk connected to the service has been transferred to the Tenderer, including the risks connected to the demand for the service and (to the degree relevant) the delivery risk. Beyond that stated in the Agreement, The Tenderer cannot, therefore, demand compensation or change the prices in the Contract for changes in earnings basis or as a result of other conditions that affect the tenderer's turnover or yield. As all work and all obligations connected to the HSE card are transferred to the tenderer, there will also be a responsibility on the Tenderer to develop the HSE card in accordance with changes to the relevant regulations and adapt the delivery to future orientated systems to improve the HSE card system. The contract means that the Users shall order HSE cards from the tenderer. The tenderer, for their part, shall, as a result of the contract, relate to both the Contracting Authority and the Users. One of the purposes of the contract is therefore to facilitate a good cooperation between the Contracting Authority and the Tenderer, and between the Tenderer and the Users. Furthermore, the aim of the Contract is to ensure that the HSE card scheme is user friendly, stable and adapted in accordance with future innovative systems and that the adaptations will not, without further ado, be at the cost of the Users. The contract is for the establishment, development and maintenance of a system for the HSE card scheme, as well as delivery of services connected to the production and distribution of HSE cards, including operation, personalisation, development, design as well as management of register-postings (delivery). The scope, execution and further specification and prerequisites for the delivery are further described in the annexes that are included in the contract.
