Procurement of consultancy services - Product area manager for the land animal product area.

What the buyer is asking for

The objective of the procurement is to strengthen the Norwegian Food Safety Authority ́s work in product development through an experienced consultant who, through the role of product area manager, shall support the establishment and further development of the Land animal product area. Landdyr product area currently consists of four product teams with different areas of responsibility where there are dependencies between the teams and functions in other parts of the organisation. The area of responsibility is broad and comprises everything from digital inspection systems for land animals, a meat control system on slaughterhouses, personnel approval, use of veterinary medicines, as well as central registers. Over time, teams have built up considerable domain knowledge and worked independently with their assignments, but there is a need to appear uniform, and together ensure effects across which contribute to increased food safety, animal health and animal welfare. The consultant ́s main task is to coordinate and support this cooperation, and together with the product managers contribute to establishing clear frameworks for organisation, management and interaction in the product area. The work shall build on the teams ́ existing competence, experience and ownership of the domain. The assignment involves supporting the development of a common area strategy with clear aims and priorities in line with the organisation's strategic ambitions. The consultant shall contribute to establishing good forms of work for overall decisions, handling dependencies and follow-up of the area ́s results and effects in cooperation with the product managers, the management group in the Development Department and other relevant interested parties. A central goal of the assignment is to strengthen the product area ́s ability to develop a common direction and cooperate across time. The consultant shall therefore emphasise the involvement, transfer of competence and ownership of the existing product managers, so that the Norwegian Food Safety Authority can continue the product area management after the assignment has concluded.
