Title: Procurement notice - assistance with technical modernisation of the payment area.
Description: Nav manages large amounts in society, and the payment of benefits is decisive for the welfare community functioning. The payment of services is a socially critical task for, among other things, ensuring subsistence and is a crucial part of the value chain for all services that nav provides. A technical modernisation of the systems in payment area has been identified in order to support this part of Nav's social mission. Nav shall, thus, establish a project that will be responsible for the modernisation, but it has not yet been clarified whether the project will receive the necessary financing. The project will be carried out in accordance with the government ́s project model and any financing decision is expected late 2026.In order to carry out the modernisation work, Nav will need to gather competence and capacity from the market. Nav is therefore planning to procure a contract for consultancy services for the technical modernisation of the payment area. Nav ́s existing framework agreement portfolio will be a supplement to the contract that shall be signed. The procurement is in the early planning phase and there is still uncertainty around both competence areas and need for resources. However, Nav would like to notify the market about the coming procurement at the current time, partly as a result of a potentially significant need for resources from January 2027.The modernisation project ́s competence need includes developer competence in testing, finance and accounting. In addition assistance is expected in categories such as, among other things, project management, design and specialised legal competence, as well as competence within new and future technology, can be relevant. Domain competence within finances and wages, as well as competence within older technology and programming languages, are included in the project ́s needs. Provisional calculations indicate that the annual need for resources in the project period covered by the procurement of external assistance will be up to approx. 50 FTE for 2027 up to and including 2029, with the highest resource instalments in the first few years. In 2030, the need for resources is expected to be considerably lower. Note that the above mentioned estimates are based on a number of prerequisites and that there is still a high degree of uncertainty around the need for resources and competence. The competition for the agreement is planned to be announced in summer 2026
