Norway – Printed matter and related products – ID card for access and login to the health authorities in Helse Vest

The objective of the procurement is to procure smartcards that shall function as a common platform for both physical access and digital authentication and shall therefore be delivered in accordance with Annex 2 the Contracting Authority ́s requirement specifications. The customer intends to implement a transition to new card technology in the region at the start of the agreement period for the roll-out of the new logon system. The stated scope and value is therefore an estimate for information to the tenderer, and it is subject to both an increase and reduction in volume for the different card types offered throughout the contract period. The estimated volume per annum is in Annex 1 Price Form. The ID card shall be used in the health service and it shall be suitable for: • Secure identification of employees • Physical access control • Strong, passwordless authentication to IT systems • Use Buypass ID for authentication and signing in different external applications. • Use with additional equipment such as, for example, electronic key cabinets, laundry machines, etc. The card shall support the health sector ́s requirements for safety, availability, hygiene and operational security. Furthermore, the contract shall take into account new areas of use, technologies and security requirements so that this can be used during the contract period, without the need for a new competition, as far as this is compatible with the procurement regulations. The contracting authority shall, therefore, be able to use new generations of card technology in the contract period. See the Requirement Specifications and the Price Form for further details. The contracting authority draws attention to the market that a framework agreement for ID cards for older card versions has already been established for older card versions, which will be used parallel in this transition period. Call-offs on the new contract will therefore occur as part of a stage-by-stage phasing out of older card technology in the current framework agreement.
