Migration of the accounting system UNIT4 to the tenderer's cloud system for Helse Nord.
The justification for awarding to the Contracting Authority assesses that there is a basis for entering into a temporary contract directly with Vivicta AS. The contracting authority will not use this notice as a final choice for future administrative digital target architecture, system model or contract structure. Future strategic direction shall be assessed through a separate management process, market dialogue and any procurements. The justification for the temporary contract is that the contracting authority is in a forced continuity situation connected to the existing production system. The situation is triggered by the manufacturer/supplier ́s technological direction and information that the current delivery platform cannot be continued unlimited. At the same time, future strategic direction for the administrative system landscape is not finally defined. Within the available timeframe, the contracting authority ́s assessment is not a real and reliable alternative that can ensure a continuation of the existing production system and the accompanying performance critical administrative core functions without unacceptable operational risk. The existing system has been established, configured and integrated over a long period of time. It is included in ongoing finance, invoice, reporting, integration and data basis processes. The system has integrations, data, roles, access structures, reporting set-up and management routines that are connected to the existing delivery model and the tenderer's operational and management responsibilities. The contracting authority will assess that clarification of future target architecture, market dialogue and any procurements for this system area will require considerable time. A procurement process is expected to take at least 12 months, and subsequent implementation, migration, testing, training, integration work and production will normally require a further 12-24 months. An immediate competition for full compensation or future target architecture will therefore not be able to help the acute continuity need. Alternative suppliers will also not be able to take over responsibility for the existing production system in a proper manner within the available deadline, without access to the necessary rights, system competence, operational environment, history, configuration, integration knowledge and supplier specific management competence. The agreement is, therefore, time-limited to what is deemed necessary to ensure reliable operation and continuity of the existing production system and the accompanying business critical administrative functions until the contracting authority has completed strategic clarification, market dialogue and any procurements. The agreement period is 3 years, which is the minimum time for binding. Legal basis The contracting authority assesses that the terms for direct contract award are fulfilled for the temporary contract. The legal basis will particularly be assessed against the procurement regulations § 13-4 letter b no. 2 and/or no. 3, where the procurement without a competition can be used when the service can only be delivered by a specific supplier for technical reasons or due to sole rights, provided that there are no reasonable alternatives and that the missing competition is not due to the contracting authority having adapted the procurement to a specific tenderer. The contracting authority emphasises that the assessment concerns a narrow and temporary continuation of the existing production system and associated activity critical administrative functions in a limited transition period. This does not apply to a general assessment of the market for future administrative digital systems and it does not involve a permanent choice of future platform, system architecture or supplier. The contracting authority estimates that at the time of the temporary contract there is not a reasonable and reliable alternative to Vivicta AS in order to ensure continuity of the existing ERP system in the period. The lack of competition is related to time critical and technical/operational continuation of an established production system, not to the contracting authority ́s future strategic needs. Subsidially, the need will also be assessed in light of the narrow exception rules on time-critical conditions and the necessary measures to safeguard continuity, but the contracting authority places decisive emphasis on the contract being for the technical and operational continuation of the existing system, not permanent choice of future ERP system. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
Development of relevant planning tools for water security and climate resilience in Urban Areas in Tanzania (Output 2 and Output 3 of ProWaS)
GIZ has been commissioned to implement the project "Water Security and Climate Resilience for Urban Areas and their Catchments in Tanzania (ProWaS)" in Tanzania on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The Overall Objective of the project is the sustainable improvement of the population"s access to drinking water and sanitation services, as well as the management of water resources. GIZ"s political implementation partner is the Ministry of Water, and coordination subnational entities such as Basin Water Boards, Catchment Committees, Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities, and Local Government Authorities is also key to the project methodology. As part of the process to achieve universal access to water as envisioned in the Tanzania Development Vision 2025, water sector stakeholders, guided by the Ministry of Water, have introduced three instruments as part of the Water Sector Development Programme: (1) Joint Town-level Master Planning (JTPs): Assist Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities (WSSAs) and Local Government Authorities (LGAs) to coordinate joint planning and investment decisions to improve access to water and sanitation; (2) Water Safety Planning (WSPs): Guide WSSAs to identify risks (in particular climate-change) affecting water quality and quantity and develop mitigation measures to address these risks via a participatory approach; (3) Water Allocation Planning (WAPs): Guide Basin Water Boards (BWBs) to make equitable allocations of water resources for different water users and the environment. The JTPs and CR-WSPs are among the key performance indicators for Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities (WSSAs) in Tanzania and the WAPs are among the key performance indicators for BWBs in Tanzania. The Ministry of Water has requested the Federal German Government through ProWaS to upscale the JTPs and CR-WSPs to more urban areas and WSSAs as well as create new WAPs in Tanzania. The contractor will on behalf of the ProWaS project create 3 JTPs, and 3 WAPs in accordance with the respective guidelines prepared by the Ministry of Water. The CR-WSPs are not in the scope of this contract. This will require close coordination with the GIZ Project Team in Tanzania as well as National, Regional, and Local Tanzanian water authorities. The JTPs are defined by the municipality (i.e. town) in a particular region, while the WAPs are defined by the basin and the sub-catchment. A team of national and international experts shall be provided by the Contractor for this purpose. Through the completion of the three aforementioned Work Packages, the contractor is responsible for contributing to the Module Objective, Output 2, Output Indicator 2.2, and Output 3 and is responsible for achieving Module objective Indicator 3 and Output indicator 2.1 as described in this document. The Module Objective is, "The framework for improving water security in catchments of urban areas is adapted to the challenges of climate change." Output 2 is as follows: "Water and sanitation authorities, in collaboration with local consultants, have identified priority projects to improve access to climate-resilient water and sanitation services." It is accompanied by the following two indicators: Indicator 2.1: Fifteen JTPs have been drawn up by WSSA together with Local Government Authorities (base value of 5 JTPs exist, 7 others to be completed by project, three remaining to be completed by the contractor); Indicator 2.2 : In a survey, 16/30 stakeholders from Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities (WSSAs) and the MoW confirm the use of the gender-sensitive expert database in the development of JTPs, Water Safety Plans, and priority projects to improve access to climate-resilient water supply and sanitation services (16 positive responses). In addition, Module Objective Indicator 3 is as follows, "Water catchment authorities (3 total) have developed an evidence-based gender-sensitive Water Allocation Plan (WAP) in each selected sub-catchment (3 sub-catchments), based on current, climate-resilient hydrological data." Work Package 1 relates to Output 2 and the two corresponding indicators. Work Package 2 relates to Module Objective Indicator 3. - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHEschborn
