Norway – IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support – Prequalification - Procurement of a new core bank

Husbanken is in the process of developing to replace the current system support for the management of loans and grants. This includes functionality related to customer administration, transaction management, loan administration and grant administration. The current system is technologically outdated and represents increasing risks connected to operation, security and compliance of the rules. At the same time it is demanding to maintain the necessary competence, and the system provides limited possibilities for further digitalisation and efficiency. Husbanken needs functionality that goes beyond a standardised core bank system as a government financing body with a broad social assignment. In addition there is a need to be included in digital service chains in the public sector, so that the system supports both Husbanken's own role and the interaction with other public actors. The objective of the procurement is to establish a modern and flexible system that ensures safe and stable management of Husbanken ́s loan and subsidy portfolio. The system shall meet the current need, at the same time as it is equipped to handle future requirements for security, efficient operation and adaptations to new political guidelines. The procurement will be carried out as a competitive dialogue to ensure that Husbanken, together with the market, finds the best combination of standard functionality and necessary adaptations. Husbanken is seeking a strategic partner who can contribute to developing and administering the system over time and who shares the ambition of establishing a scalable and sustainable system. This is therefore not only a procurement of technology, but the start of a long-term cooperation. See the Requirement Description for further information on the contract's extent and content.
