Norway – IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support – Digital grant management

KS Digital has, on behalf of the Municipalities Central Association (KS) and the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development (KDD), established the project "Grant Management". The aim of the project is to establish a new service in the form of a digital eco-system that together provides a service for grant management that is modern, innovative and flexible. KS Digital intends to be able to build a composing service where individual components can be replaced as needed and would like to use standardised deliveries from the supplier market as far as possible. The service has been named "KS Tilskudd". The service will consist of six components, with two components 'Case handling system' and 'form system' being procured (this procurement) and included in the digital eco-system for the service 'KS Tilskudd'. In addition to four components that the project develops, the service will also reuse the existing infrastructure at KS Digital in combination with national joint components. Regionalforvaltning.no is one of many solutions that are used for grant management; among other things, the counties use the system to manage commercial subsidies. Regionalforvaltning.no is owned by KDD and operated by an external supplier. This service is technologically outdated and should be phased out of the market. «KS Tilskudd» must be ready to use for the first user group by the end of 2026.
