Norway – Internet service providers ISP – Broadband services to Troms county - RFI

Troms County (hereafter called the contracting authority) needs to enter into a new contract for broadband services to all of the county ́s locations. The contracting authority would, thus, like to hold a market dialogue. Description of the assignment the Contracting Authority needs to establish and deliver broadband services to all county locations, including, among other things, dental clinics, sixth form colleges and administrative buildings. In order to carry out the assignments imposed on the county, we depend on good and stable infrastructure for all of our locations. This involves a collaboration with a broadband service provider who can offer us the internet and also get our internal traffic to our data centres. A more detailed description of the contracting authority ́s needs is in the attached draft of the requirement specification. Information on the hearing contracting authority is currently in a preparatory phase of the procurement process. As part of the preparations for the coming competition, we would like to hold a hearing round in the market. The contracting authority has prepared a draft of the competition documents, as well as formulated a set of questions in the attached document "Information on RFI - Broadband Services to Troms County", which we hope relevant suppliers have the opportunity to answer. Tenderers are asked to answer the contracting authority ́s questions directly in the document, under each individual question. Further information on how the hearing shall be answered and how any input will be dealt with is also given in the mentioned annex. The deadline for submitting feedback is 08 May 2025 (12:00).
