Kort beskrivelse
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) is one of the largest public purchasers in Norway. To achieve our strategic goals, we are facing a digital transformation where we aim to enhance our procurement processes in line with the parliamentary report " Smarter purchasing – efficient and professional public procurement (2018-2019).” This involves a transition from manual processes to a seamless, efficient, and transparent digital procurement process. With better tools and solutions, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration will be able to handle planning, competitive tendering and ordering in a more structured and innovative way across its divisions. This will also include efficient contract- and category management to become a fully digital administrative body.
We are currently in the concept phase of digitizing our source-to-pay procurement process. During this phase, we aim to identify the future needs for our procurement ecosystem´s architecture. The goal is to create a comprehensive and efficient digital process by developing and integrating existing solutions and implementing new digital tools carefully adapted to the organization´s needs and workflow. Therefore, we seek an open dialogue with the market to explore available opportunities and how we can maximize their benefits. We plan to discuss the design of our ecosystem with suppliers, focusing on how their solutions can fit into this framework, including standard functionalities and integrations. We are also committed to providing excellent user experience for all our users.
We are conducting this request for information to gain an overview of the procurement solutions available in the supplier market. Based on this insight, we will create a target picture for future implementation, as well as carry out one or more sourcing/tendering processes to acquire the new procurement tools. The sourcing processes are tentatively scheduled for Q1 2025.
