Quality assure the Norwegian Parliament's SIDA project.

The project owner would like to enter into a service contract (SSA-B) with an external quality assurer for the Norwegian Parliament's SIDA project. The quality assurer will primarily have a role as the project owner's consultant, and give good and continual advice and analyses connected to the project's execution and goal achievement. The quality assurer will also be expected to be a discussion partner and advisor for the project manager during the project.

The number of hours will vary over the contract period. The average will be approx. 20% of ordinary working hours.

The administration needs a general approach to interaction for assignments, executive work, and storing accompanying documentation. This work will include replacing the current technological systems for document stores and storage.

These areas were joined in a joint project in spring 2021. As part of this, a strategic vision was formed for administrative interaction and documentation management. The project will support the vision, and create a new condition for administrative interaction, information culture, and documentation management. The aim is (1) to simplify and improve the administrative work processes, (2) to build a culture that supports efficient interaction, proper executive work, documentation management, and continual improvement, and (3) to ensure internal memory, legal documentation management and social memory. The project will give gains for society, the organisations and employees.

The administration carried out the preliminary work and concept phase in 2021. A decision was made in January 2022, based on the preliminary work and the concept phase, to go over to the planning phase for the project, which will run until June 2022.

The SIDA project has a planned duration of 2.5 years, and the external quality assurer will follow the project the entire way. This contract will thereby also have a duration of 2.5 years, but with options to extend (up to four by six months), if the project uses more time than anticipated.

Up to four renewal, each of six months.
