The Consumer Council is a visible, clear, and independent political interest party that sees to consumer rights and perspective, and strengthens their options to exercise consumer power.
The Consumer Council's job is to engage in political interest work with authorities, organisations, and businesses, and to put consumer questions on the agenda in the social debate. The Consumer Council assists and qualifies consumers by providing information, advice, and guidance on rights, obligations, and other relevant consumer questions.
Knowledge from contact with consumers, authorities, and businesses gives the Consumer Council unique competence in different markets, and our spokespersons are very visible in the public debate.
The Consumer Council is financed by the government, but has a free and independent position in its work in defining and promoting political interest cases. The Consumer Council has its own board and its own articles of association. The Consumer Council must be independent of commercial interests and other organisations.
The objective of the procurement is to establish parallel framework agreements with up to three tenderers. The framework agreements will include access to consultants within a broad competence field. Tenderers must cover the need in ongoing and coming development assignments. The objective is that these framework agreements will cover most of the need for ICT consultants in the coming years. The contracts are, however, not exclusive, and involve no obligation to procure. The Consumer Council also has some other contracts that cover adjoining specific needs.
Assistance is required for the operation, maintenance, and further development of the existing systems mentioned above, as well as for the development of new systems.
Further details of the service are in Annex 1 of SSA-R Appendix 1 'Application and Service Description'.
The framework agreement will be valid for 2 years, with an option for the contracting authority for an extension for a total of 2 years, 1 year at a time. The maximum duration of the framework agreement will be 4 years.
The Consumer Council will require consultancy services immediately after the framework agreement is signed. See the tender documentation for the mini-competition and the contract for call-off No 1 for further details on this need and the mini-competition. See the tender documentation, 1.2.3 Call-off No 1.
Tenderers must be registered in a company register, professional register or a trade register in the state where the tenderer is established.
Foreign tenderers: Verification that the tenderer is registered in a company register, professional register or a trade register in the country where the tenderer is established.
Tenderers must have sufficient economic and financial capacity to fulfil the contract. Creditworthiness with no requirement for guarantees will be sufficient to meet the requirement.
If the tenderer has valid reasons for not being able to provide the documentation requested by the contracting authority, the tenderer can document his economic and financial capacity by presenting other documentation considered suitable by the contracting authority.
