The procurement is an element in the digitalisation of the services that is based on the need for increased functionality, security and better interaction between different units and services. An updated EPJ system is essential for health personnel to quickly get access to the right information, which is absolutely necessary for providing good patient treatment, ensuring good quality, supporting good and seamless task flow and ensuring safe and good follow-up of inhabitants. The contract ́s total value over a 3 year period is estimated to be in an interval between NOK 200 - 300 million, excluding VAT. The estimate is naturally encumbered with great uncertainty due to, among other things, the content, scope and costs connected to the final EPJ system that is included in the contract. A contract shall be signed with one tenderer for the assignment. The contract will be an ongoing contract with an initial contract period of 3 years, with an automatic extension for 1 year at a time. Each municipality will join the contract as the Contracting Authority and will sign separate contracts with the chosen tenderer. It is different when each municipality envisages implementation of a new EPJ system. Some municipalities have outlined that they want project start up already in Q1 2026, the individual municipalities will clarify this when the contract is signed.
