Recruitment assistance framework for management positions

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration, HR and Development (hereafter called the Contracting Authority), would like to enter into a framework agreement for assistance in connection with recruitment of directors, department director and other central management positions.

This also affects the road sector and sets high requirements for clear, competent and responsible management.

The choice of right leaders is therefore decisive for the agency's ability to solve its social mission. Procurement of external assistance for the selection of management candidates is an important means for: • ensure a professional, objective and quality assured recruitment process. • reduce the risk of wrong recruitment • ensure a good decision basis for employment in positions of great strategic and organisational importance. The framework agreement shall be signed with up to 6 tenderers, divided as follows: Sub-contract 1: Full recruitment process (up to 2 tenderers) Sub-contract 2: Executive search and candidate selection (up to 2 tenderers) Sub-contract 3: Candidate testing (up to two tenderers)

Tenderers must have sufficient financial capacity to fulfil the contract.

If a tenderer is assessed lower than credit worthy, the contracting authority can undertake an overall assessment based on additional information. Documentation requirement: The contracting authority will obtain a credit rating from Experian. If there is doubt, the Contracting Authority can obtain further information from the tenderer.
