Background and need OFA IKS plans a new framework agreement for IT hardware and the accompanying services on behalf of the municipalities, the county and other participating entities. The aim is to ensure efficient, predictable and cost efficient access to modern IT equipment throughout the entire agreement period.

The agreement shall cover both larger standardised procurements and ongoing orders from different user groups. The agreement shall facilitate both the procurement and leasing of IT equipment, so that the contracting authorities can choose the solution that best covers their needs. For major procurements, e.g. school PCs, models will be assessed that ensure competitive prices and access to updated technology, including mini-competitions or other competitive mechanisms within the contract. The procurement will also include life cycle services such as preparing, rolling out, administration and management of client equipment. The objective of the market dialogue is to obtain the market ́s views on how the competition and the framework agreement ought to be designed to ensure good competition, suitable requirements, high security of delivery and the best possible goal achievement for the contracting authorities. We would greatly appreciate downloading the attached market dialogue document and answering the questions directly in the document.

Viken Vest Innkjøpssamarbeid (VVI)HokksundDeadline: Sep 10The waste management company for drammensregionen IKS (RfD) plans to announce a competition for a framework agreement for electrical control and ventilation service, for its recycling and reloading stations. The framework agreement will consist of two sub-contracts; one contract for inspections and thermographing of electrical installations etc. and one contract for service and maintenance of a ventilation system. As part of the preparation of the competition, the contracting authority wants a dialogue with the market before the competition is announced. The aim of the dialogue is to get input for the tender documentation so that it is clear, competitive and feasible for suppliers. The contracting authority would like general feedback on the attached price form and the two requirement specifications, including whether something is unclear, unreasonable or unnecessary costly. See the attached RFI for further information on the market dialogue.Market dialogue: Framework agreement for chemicals for water and sewage installations.
OFA IKSKristiansandDeadline: Sep 30OFA IKS shall establish a framework agreement for the delivery of chemicals for water and sewage installations throughout Agder. The objective of the procurement is to ensure stable, safe and predictable access to chemicals that are necessary for the production of drinking water and treatment of sewage water. The procurement shall contribute to an efficient, robust and regulatory operation of the water and sewage installations, with high security of delivery and reduced risk of interruption to operations in socially critical functions. Tenderers shall deliver documented suitable products and assist with the necessary professional competence and advice throughout the entire contract period. The framework agreement includes chemicals for i.a.: Precipitants and post-precipitation for sewage purification. Sludge treatment, including packing, thickening and dewatering. Drinking water treatment, including removal of colour, turbidity and particles. The agreement includes i.a. chemicals, polymers and other chemicals used in water and sewage treatment. Tenderers shall be able to ensure safe, flexible and reliable delivery to systems with different technical systems, capacity needs and operational prerequisites. Delivery security, product quality and professional follow-up will be key elements in the agreement. Based on previous market surveys and further work on the procurement, OFA has revised the requirement specifications, the award criteria, the price and product form as well as the price and payment terms. Prior to the competition being announced, we would like input on the revised documents and any problems that ought to be assessed further. We therefore invite relevant tenderers to an oral market dialogue. The aim of the dialogue is to obtain updated knowledge on the market ́s systems, products and delivery models, so that the competition can be designed in an appropriate way and facilitates good competition. We particularly want input on: qualification requirements requirement specifications award criteria price, product form as well as price and payment terms (See annex). OFA does not have a complete overview of the delivery intervals at all delivery locations. Tenderers can, however, get access to an overview of facilities, delivery locations, chemicals and other relevant information. Due to information security reasons, the overview is not shared publicly, but will be made available to verified actors who request access by sending a message to the Contracting Authority via Hyyr. The question is whether the tender overview and delivery overview is sufficient to prepare competitive and realistic prices, or is there a need for further information on delivery intervals, volumes or other conditions? The competition is divided into five sub areas. We are considering reducing the number of sub areas in order to simplify contract management. Do you have input for a possible merger of sub-areas? Several of the participating entities currently use CO₂ tanks that are rented or owned by the existing supplier. In the event of a supplier replacement, there may be a need for procurements, replacements or new establishments of tank facilities and accompanying equipment. How do suppliers normally handle such situations? Should the contracting authority obtain information about existing tank systems, and how should any costs connected to the procurement, disassembly, replacement or establishment of new equipment be handled in the competition? We hope that you can contribute and ask to register your participation by choosing a suitable time for conversation in Hyyr.Framework agreement for plumbing services and materials.
VENNESLA KOMMUNEVenneslaDeadline: Sep 30Background Vennesla municipality needs to establish a new framework agreement for plumbing services and materials as the existing contract expires. The aim of the procurement is to ensure the municipality continued access to the necessary external capacity and competence for service, repairs, maintenance and management of acute events in the municipality ́s buildings and technical installations. The municipality has its own plumbers that cover parts of the current need. The self-region does not, however, cover the entire need, and the framework agreement shall therefore be a supplementary means to ensure sufficient capacity, flexibility and security of delivery. The procurement shall contribute to a practical and predictable model for ordering and following up assignments. There is a need for a system that safeguards both smaller ongoing assignments and major planned work. At the same time it is important to have a quick response with rush assignments and good access to the necessary material. The procurement shall therefore facilitate efficient execution, clear call-off routines and good interaction between the municipality and the suppliers. Estimated value and extent The estimated value of the framework agreement is based on historical consumption as well as the contracting authority ́s expected need in the contract period. The estimate is only a guideline and is without obligation for the contracting authority to make procurements for a specific extent or a specific value under the framework agreement. The actual extent can deviate significantly from the estimate due to, among other things, political priorities and grants, changed needs, implementation of investment projects, as well as acute events and unforeseen conditions. The contracting authority does not guarantee a minimum purchase under the framework agreement. The maximum value of the framework agreement is NOK 8,000,000 excluding VAT. The maximum value is the upper financial limit for the contract ́s tFramework agreement for cleaning equipment, paper, plastic and institutional household products.

VENNESLA KOMMUNEVenneslaDeadline: Sep 30Background Vennesla municipality needs to renew the existing contract for electrician services and electrical material. The municipality has some electro competence, but it does not cover the total need for ongoing assignments, acute events, stand-by and assignments that require special professional competence. The objective of the procurement is to ensure the municipality predictable access to external assistance for work in municipal buildings and on technical installations. The framework agreement shall contribute to the necessary work being carried out with the correct capacity, availability and quality and at the same time give the municipality flexibility in connection with work stoppages, absence and operational critical situations. The procurement shall also cover the municipality ́s need for electro material, both as a part of the service delivery and for separate procurements when appropriate. The framework agreement shall cover the municipality ́s ongoing need for electrical services, including work that, due to regulatory or capacity reasons, cannot be carried out itself. The contract shall contribute to reliable, efficient and safe operation, maintenance and development of the municipality ́s buildings, sites and technical installations. Description of the assignment The procurement is for the establishment of a framework agreement for the delivery of electrician services and electrical material for Vennesla municipality. The delivery includes work in the municipality ́s buildings and on technical installations, including service work, troubleshooting, repairs, minor and major assignments, as well as assistance with acute and operational critical events.

Bærum kommuneSANDVIKADeadline: Aug 26The procurement is for maintenance of playground equipment in all of Bærum ́s municipal nursery schools, approx. 60 and 18 children's parks. The contracting authority would also like to be able to use the contract for other places with playground equipment than the above, either by new ones being permanently included in the contract during the contract period or by individual assignments as needed. This procurement does not include the annual inspections of the playground equipment. The municipality has separate framework agreements for equipment inspections. Tenderers who check or inspect playground equipment for the contracting authority cannot be awarded a contract for maintenance of the same playground equipment during the contract period. The equivalent applies if the tenderer uses sub-suppliers who carry out inspection services for the Contracting Authority on the same playgrounds. Based on consumption in recent years, the estimated combined annual call-offs are approx. NOK 2 million excluding VAT. The annual amount will depend on financial framework terms, political decisions and the market situation in general. The maximum total amount for the framework agreement is NOK 10 million excluding VAT. The contracting authority can give compensation free of charge for the contract when the maximum call-offs have been reached. The contract period is 4 (four) years from signing of the contract, unless referred to by the Contracting Authority. The Contracting Authority has the right to terminate the agreement with 6 (six) months written notice.
