Norway – Architectural and related services – R0010EBE - Framework agreement for workplace consultancy services.

Bergen municipality decided in 2016 that the establishment of new office work stations shall be designed in accordance with an activity based workplace concept with shared spaces that shall contribute to flexible, efficient and attractive office premises. Bergen municipality, c/o the Building and Property Department, shall enter into a new framework agreement for workplace consultancy services in order to cover the need from 2026 based on Byrådssak 1385/16 (the decision from 2016). Units that order new premises will need to design a new room and function programme, and before this get the existing work forms completed. Furthermore, there may be a need for consultancy/design for the furnishing and grouping. The Agency for Buildings and Property manages, operates, maintains and develops the municipality ́s properties. The property mass consists of more than 1,000 buildings of around 1.2 million square meters and 5,000 undeveloped properties. Nearly 60 percent of the buildings are schools, nurseries and nursing homes. The remaining areas are, among other things, office buildings, port buildings, fire stations, car parks and sports halls.
