The award winning website visitnorway.com is Norway's largest tourism portal and the most important channel in marketing Norway as a holiday destination
Visitnorway.com is available in 14 languages that cover the following markets: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, UK, Holland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Russia, USA, Brazil, Japan, China , Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and India
Tourists shall be able to find information on the whole of Norway on visitnorway.com. The portal shall make it easy to explore Norway as a destination, search for products, destinations and order holidays to Norway.
The content on VisitNorway has high creditability and a high number of visitors. We are constantly working on further developing the site. There are applications for iPhone and Android and the website is adapted to mobile viewing with responsive design.
Innovasjon Norge now plan to move the focus and resources from technical development, operation and maintenance to content and marketing activities on Visitnorway.com.
Innovasjon Norge will therefore change the technical platform from an adapted backend to a standard Destination Management System or a Content Management System - specially designed for the tourism industry. All integrations, operation, further development and harvesting will be included in this tender. The software and accompanying data shall be available as “Software as a Service“ and distributed worldwide via Content Delivery Networks or similar - for quick user access.
Innovasjon Norge will emphasis the importance of compliance with all guidelines on personal security and data security in all the markets that Visitnorway.com operates in. It will, therefore, be a prerequisite for the contract being signed, and during the contract period, that the service provider and its sub supplier's services comply with the current Norwegian and EU data protection and personal security rules and regulations - and possibly the relevant data protection and personal security rules and regulations in other markets that Innovasjon Norge promotes its activities in through Visitnorway.com
Innovasjon Norge shall, during the negotiation phase and after signing a contract, have access to all parts of the service provider's systems so that they can always check that all the guidelines within personal security and data security are complied with. Breaches of rules connected to personal security and data protection will be seen as a significant breach of contract which gives Innovasjon Norge the right to end the ongoing negotiations or end the contractual relationship with immediate effect.
The qualification documents for the negotiated procedure in 2 stages in accordance with the regulations part I and part III are attached (for procurements with a value above the EEA threshold).
