Description
:
The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research collects acoustic data targeting stock calculations of 1,500 of 2,000 ships per annum. Acoustic data has since the 1970's been the most important basis for calculating the size of many fish stocks. Then there was only one frequency (38 kHz) that was interpreted, while we later received both multi-frequency data and broadband from echo sounders, as well as data from multi beam echo sounder and sonar. New types of acoustic data allow more fish stocks to be examined than before, as well as zooplankton and mesopelagic fish. LSSS is the program system that is used to visualise and analyse acoustic data. The importance of the acoustic data means that they must be interpreted at the best possible quality, which implies that the necessary information is visualised during interpretation and that data is interpreted by 2 people. Due to the large amount of data that must be interpreted, it is also necessary that the data can be interpreted to the best possible quality in a relatively short time.

Direct award
:
Justification for direct award
:
The contract can be provided only by a particular economic operator because of an
absence of competition for technical reasons
Other justification
:
The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research has worked since 2002 on the development of a Large Scale Survey System (LSSS) in cooperation with NORCE (then CMR). HI is now entering into a 4 year contract for the maintenance and development of the software. The work has been distributed so that HI has primarily worked on dialogue with users and specified how the software shall be experienced by users, whilst NORCE has worked primarily with design and web-clicking of the software. Project participants from HI and NORCE have jointly discussed how the user interface should be and which parts of the software are critical to be fast, as well as what parts of the existing software are necessary to be replaced with new components as new technology has become available. This is a comprehensive work that has been continually developed throughout the more than 20 years the work has been ongoing. Even if LSSS is built up modular, it is still a complex and complex system that it will take a long time to build up for others than NORCE. Background for signing of contract with NORCE without a prior competition: The Public Procurement Regulations § 13-4 litra b number 2 are pursuant to procurement without competition if the procurement concerns services where competition is impossible for technical reasons. The Public Procurement Regulations § 13-4 litra b number 3 are applicable to procurements without competition if the procurement concerns services that only a determine tenderer can deliver because the tenderer has sole right. The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research considers NORCE to be the sole supplier of the services that are provided under the framework agreement on the basis of special competence and immaterial rights. Contract type: The contract is limited to 4 years, as it cannot be ruled out after this period that there are other parties on the market who can compete for the work. An assessment must be made at the end of the period on the procurement form, scope and need for work in the further.
