Technical requirements: NRK hereby invites tenderers to participate in an open tender competition for entry into parallel Framework Agreement for 2 types of quantitative data collection (CATI and CAWI).
NRK uses many different forms of insight and analysis in their work to fulfil the public broadcaster mandate. Besides the big TV, radio and internet surveys, various trackers and regular reputation surveys, NRK's analysis department carries out a number of ad hoc surveys, both quantitative and qualitative each year. NRK’s analysis department has a regular need for quantitative data, particularly as insight in strategic work and music tests, and therefore wants to co-ordinate the organisation's need in the form of parallel Framework Agreements for quantitative data collection.
It is important that NRK signs contracts with the best service providers. This means that the tenderers do not need to provide offers for both types of data collection, they can choose to deliver a tender only for the type of data collection they think they are best at.
The contract will have a 2 year duration from signing of the contract, and the Contracting Authority will have the option to extend the contract for 1 year + 1 year. The Framework Agreement can be valid for a maximum of 4 years.
