Norway – Repair and maintenance services of building installations – Framework agreements for carpentry services

Background Troms County needs to establish a new framework agreement for carpentry services for the county ́s owned building in Troms county. The procurement shall ensure a structured and regulatory procurement of ongoing maintenance and repair work within the carpentry and joinery discipline. The county manages comprehensive and assembled buildings, including sixth form colleges, sports halls, dental clinics, administration buildings, student residences and residences that are rented out to their own employees. This gives a regular need for smaller and medium sized work connected to maintenance, replacement and simple constructional adaptations. The objective of the procurement is to ensure available capacity, predictability and good follow-up of such assignments across the county ́s locations. The framework agreement shall also contribute to more efficient call-offs, reduce the need for individual procurements and facilitate uniform handling of assignments within the relevant discipline.
