Norway – Software programming and consultancy services – 25/01110 - Qualification - Framework agreement for management, development and implementation of the Central Prescription Module (SFM) - The Norwegian Health Network SF

Central Prescribing module (SFM) is a system that is currently used in production. It is administered and further developed by Norsk Helsenett ́s line organisation in close cooperation with an external development partner. The Norwegian Health Network (NHN) currently has an agreement with Thula as a development partner in the management and development of SFM. In the future NHN plans to establish a development team for SFM based on both external developer resources from e.g. consultancy companies and development resources from other EPJ providers in the market (hereafter called development partners). The development team can also consist of internal resources from NHN. The Norwegian Health Network SF (NHN) intends to enter into a framework agreement with several tenderers who fulfil the necessary competence and capacity requirements within management, development and operation of the Central Prescription Model (SFM). Competence is wanted within the EPJ systems and SFM. Emphasis is put on the fact that the already signed framework agreement for ICT consultancy services will be used parallel to the framework agreement for the management, development and operation of SFM. This means that the tenderers in the framework agreement for ICT consultancy services do not need to be a contract party in the new framework agreement for the management, development and operation of SFM. Parallel framework agreements shall be signed with several tenderers who have competence and capacity within the management, development and operation of SFM. The value is based on the current framework agreement. Based on the current situation, the need between 8-15 FTE throughout the entire contract period is approx. NOK 45 million per annum. To calculate the maximum value of the framework agreement, consideration must be given to the highest likely value of all expected contracts, including options (all call-offs), price regulations and increased need throughout the entire framework agreement...
