Technical requirements: Moss municipality invites tenderers to participate in an open tender contest regarding a framework agreement for services in the area municipal engineering. The tender contest also includes Rygge municipality.

The Contracting Authority is free to separate smaller assignments and/or superior plans into individual tender contests. The Contracting Authority makes these decisions.
The Contracting Authority intends to enter into a contract with a maximum of 3 providers that will be prioritised as No 1, No 2 and etc.
Each provider is expected to acquire local knowledge about Moss and Rygge municipalities without costs for the 2 municipalities.

The Contracting Authority reserves the right to use mini-tender contests where the priority list is being released, in those cases where the Contracting Authority requires it, for the sake of the procurement's size, complexity or where the Contracting Authority, due to other considerations, deems it most appropriate. The contract award criteria in mini-tender contests are: price, assignment comprehension, the offered quality and delivery time.
