Norway – Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services – Drawing/planning of a new health centre

The competition is for assignments for the preparation of a feasibility study (phase 1) and a preliminary project (phase 2) for the new health centre. The contracting authority has the option to have the offered ARK transported to a later turnkey contract. See the procurement documents for further information. The contracting authority reserves the right to cancel the competition, i.a. in connection with budgetary coverage. Political treatment is included in the transition between phase 1 and phase 2. This procurement is considered to have an immaterial impact on climate and the environment, cf. the Regulations §7-9, fifth paragraph. The justification for this is that the procurement concerns the purchase of consultancy services/architect services where the contracting authority has been cut off from affecting climate and environmental impact, as requirements and criteria targeting these elements will not have sufficient connection to the delivery, cf. DFØ's environmental supervisor. The contracting authority has assessed the procurement against the apprentice regulations, cf. the Procurement Act § 7, and concluded that there is no requirement for apprentices in this procurement as it is considered disproportionately, because there is a need for specialised competence that an apprentice cannot be expected to hold, cf. the apprentice regulation § 6 (4).
