Norway – Other community, social and personal services – KK - Framework agreement carpentry services

Kristiansund municipality would like to enter into a framework agreement with three tenderers for joinery services. The contract shall cover both renovation of existing buildings and minor new buildings, and cover the contracting authority ́s ongoing needs. The estimated contract value is NOK 15,000,000 excluding VAT per annum, with an upper limit of NOK 20,000,000 excluding VAT per annum, depending on the municipality ́s grants. The contracting authority is not obliged to procure services for this sum. A detailed description of the delivery is in 02 (requirement specifications). The contract period is 2 years, with an option for an extension for a further 1+1 years, so that the total length can be up to four years. The option will be automatically taken up unless the contracting authority gives written notification at least two months before the option period starts. In the event of call-offs, assignments will first be offered to the tenderer who has the best relationship between quality, price and environment, based on the award criteria. The tenderer has 24 hours to confirm the assignment. If the assignment is not confirmed, or the tenderer cannot carry out the work, the assignment is offered to the next tenderer on the list. The tenderer who has submitted the most advantageous tender will be responsible for all security guard preparedness. The contracting authority can also choose to hold mini-competitions between the three chosen tenderers. The agreement includes buildings in Kristiansund municipality, including schools, nurseries, sports buildings, residential buildings, technical buildings and administration and office buildings. All the buildings are in use and the work shall be carried out in a way that as far as possible disrupts the daily operation. The contracting authority assumes that rigging areas are not established, as the work is considered so small that one carries with them what the equipment needs at all times. Tenderers cannot reckon on storing equipment in the buildings included in the contract.
