Description & Project Overview
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs invites potential suppliers to a market dialogue ahead of the planned acquisition of WAN for Norway's foreign missions. The purpose of the market dialogue is to investigate what opportunities exist in the market in addition to getting input on what we should focus on in the upcoming acquisition. We especially encourage suppliers to give feedback on what in a future procurement can be perceived as exclusionary, distorting competition and/or driving prices. The current agreement for WAN services expires in 2028. A new procurement process must therefore be initiated to ensure that a new contract is in place and that new connections are implemented before the existing agreement expires. Today, the foreign stations mainly use local WAN connections. In some locations, satellite services are used as the primary connection due to local infrastructure conditions and/or geographical location. Satellite services are generally used as secondary connections and are expected to be so in the future. SAT services are covered by a separate market dialogue, and the supplier is encouraged to respond to this if the service can be delivered.
