Technical requirements: About this phase (STEP 1):

The competition will be held in accordance with the Public Procurement Act from 17 June 2016 no. 73 (LOA) with the accompanying regulations of 12 August 2016 no. 974 (FOA), as well as the provisions in this qualification documentation and the tender documentation. The competition will be held as a TED - negotiated procedure in accordance with parts I and III of the regulations. All interested tenderers can present a request for participation in this procedure. Tenderers who are qualified will be invited to submit a tender.

About the later tender phase (STAGE 2):

The first reduction of the number of tenders can occur before the negotiations, based on the award criteria stated in point 1.3 in stage 2, with the weighting stated there. Negotiations will only be carried out if the contracting authority, after the tenders have been received, considers it appropriate. Tenderers must therefore submit their best tender and cannot expect to be invited to negotiations. Negotiations can be made on all sides of the tender and minutes will be kept from the negotiations. Revised tenders must be submitted in writing.

The contracting authority points out that the exceptions in accordance with the regulations §13-2 a, c and d will be used for the procurement.

The procurement is announced in the DOFFIN and TED database.
The competition is for the procurement of printout, copy and scanning as a service, Print as a Service (PraaS). The service is to be understood as a complete service that includes a machine park with identical interface for users, with Norwegian language support/training, where on-site technicians as needed, as well as all consumables excluding paper, are included. The contracting authority shall not hire, lease or procure the machinery, but only procure the service 'print out as a service'. The chosen tenderer will provide all operations and logistics for the entire system. It is the tenderer ́s responsibility that the contracting authority ́s needs for each location are covered. The contracting authority has no objection to the chosen tenderer covering the need with used machines, or that the deployed machines are moved in connection with changed needs at locations.

The existing machinery is planned to be discontinued. New tenderers are offered to purchase relevant ongoing contracts. The machines' expiry date is in the attached overview. The alternative to purchasing is that the existing machines must be run in the old system to the expiry date and then replaced with the machine from the new supplier. The contracting authority also has approx. 100 network printers that in the long term are wanted to be replaced by machines from the new contract.

The procurement ́s value is estimated to: Above the EEA threshold. The volume is an estimate and is not binding for the contracting authority.

See the procurement documents for further information.
