The framework agreement will have a duration from and including 04.02.2022 until and including 03.02.2024, with an option for the contracting authority to extend for up to four years, 12 months at a time.
The contracting authority will enter into contract with multiple tenderers per group, as long as a sufficient number of qualified tenderers submit tenders.
The framework agreement has a duration of more than four years due to the need for investment consideration on the part of the contracting authority, which indicates that the replacement frequency is less than every fourth year, cfr. PPR § 26-1 (4).
The contracting authority expects that the tenderer studies the contractual terms and makes the required internal clarifications in such a way that a contract can be signed if awarded.
