Norway-Trondheim: Operating systems

Norsk helsenett SF [the Norwegian Health Information Network] intends to enter into a dynamic purchasing system scheme where qualified tenderers compete to be the supplier for ongoing needs in connection with purchasing/leasing, as well as extensions and maintenance, of necessary software and licenses throughout the lifetime of the system. The tenderer must ensure that the contracting authority obtains the licenses they need and in accordance with the applicable licensing terms. The DPS scheme must cover the need for software and licensing at all times, including maintenance. The current portfolio includes Citrix, SPSS, VMware, Atlassian (Confluence and Jira), Redhat Linux, SMS passcode, etc. as well as a number of other software programmes listed in Annex 3, under point 8. Contracts that are entered into through the DPS scheme will be of varying duration and the scope of call-offs during the contract period will vary. Some areas within the current portfolio may also be phased out entirely. Licenses for Adobe, Microsoft and Oracle, as well as licenses related to system deliveries and business/professional systems such as financial systems, personal systems, logistics systems, etc., are not included in this scheme, but are covered by other contracts. Administrative tasks and consultancy related to the Contracting Authority's use of software and licenses are not part of the scope.
