2.1 Procedure

Title : Training Services
Description : The objective of the procurement is to enter into a contract with a tenderer for training services. Over time, Advokattilsynet has experienced shortcomings in terms of risk comprehension and compliance with the anti-money laundering regulations in the law industry. Advokattilsynet therefore needs assistance in establishing and implementing a practically corrected training programme suitable for money laundering officers in lawfirms in Norway. Advokattilsynet wants to start a cooperation with a skilled external supplier who has the necessary experience and competence to be able to assist with carrying out such a project. The aim of the course is to raise the general risk comprehension in the legal profession, as well as make companies better able to develop good, internal anti-money laundering routines and internal control routines. Advokattilsynet will pay the chosen tenderer NOK 3.2 million for the courses that shall be held during the first year of the contract. It will therefore not be competed on price, but on quality. The contract will have an option for the provision of services for a period of further two years, as long as money is granted for the purpose, cf. point 1.3. The prices stated in the price form will then apply for the courses agreed upon in the option years.
