Sandnes Municipality (hereafter the contracting authority) has carried out a market survey where we had the requirements specification for a MOMD system out for a hearing in order to see whether the requirements can be fulfilled by the market. The result of the market survey is that there is only one supplier that can deliver in accordance with the contracting authority's needs.
The contracting authority therefore intends to enter into a continuing service contract with FDVhuset AS for delivery of the MOMD system FAMAC. The contract includes full access to the system, as well as an option to procure accompanying consultancy services.
See the attached documents for further information on the market survey and assessment of due diligence. The requirements specification for the system at attached to the voluntary ex-ante transparency notice.

The contracting authority has had the requirements specification with minimum requirements for the MOMD system out for a hearing. The contracting authority received 4 responses, of which only one supplier could fulfil the contracting authority's needs. There is therefore only one supplier in the market that can deliver a system that fulfils the contracting authority’s minimum requirements. An assessment of due diligence was therefore carried out in order to assess whether the exception from holding a contest in the public procurement regulation § 13-4 b) 2 can be used. The assessment of due diligence concluded that the exception can be used as the requirements are proportional, there are no reasonable alternatives, and there is not a deadline that would allow other suppliers to fulfil the requirements specification. Furthermore the conclusion is that the damage that the use of the exception would inflict on the market is limited when seen in light of the damage inflicted on the contracting authority if they could not set the minimum requirements that there is a real need for.
The assessment of due diligence is attached to the voluntary ex-ante transparency notice, together with the requirements specification that are fulfilled by FDVhuset AS.
This is an continuing service contract. The stated total value is therefore based on the total cost for 48 months. The contract will have have a scope that goes beyond the estimated contract value based on the contract's lifetime.
