There is a need to strengthen knowledge on how extensive the dependency on satellite based services for position determination, navigation and time provision (PNT services) is in society, what positive effects are created through its use and what negative effects/socio-economic consequences have a loss or disruption of the services will have. The tenderer shall carry out a socio-economic analysis/review to obtain knowledge, establish a data basis and document dependencies, needs and consequences of loss/disruption of satellite based PNT services both in sectors and across sectors, at system level and at regional and national levels. The review shall contribute to both the development and availability of knowledge, as well as to increased awareness, on the use of and dependency with satellite based PNT services and consequences in connection with interruptions and lapses. The knowledge shall provide a basis for identifying areas of society that are particularly dependent on satellite-based PNT, which is vulnerable by the loss of such services and who can reduce risk through preventive and consequential measures. The review shall also point out areas and potentially efficient measures with a view to reducing the possibility of, and socio-economic consequences of, disruptions and loss of satellite based services. The final delivery deadline for the contract is 01 March 2026. The upper framework for the procurement is NOK 1,450,000 excluding VAT.
