Technical requirements: The Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO) will shortly procure middle layer clothing for the armed forces through the establishment of a framework agreement with one (1) tenderer.
The procurement is currently planned as an open tender contest with the notice date in September 2021, tender deadline in November/December 2021, and the contract signing in March 2022. The contracting authority envisages that tenderers will submit tender samples and specimens from the winning tenderer. The cost of delivering tender samples is to be covered by the tenderer.
Before the publication, the Contracting Authority needs information from the market. This is described in point 2.4.
Before this procurement, the Contracting Authority would like to make use of the competence in the supplier market, and therefore hopes that the supplier market will take the time to comment on the procurement documents that have been made available at this point in time. These are not final, and the intention is to use any input to improve the contest documents and ensure that they suit the supplier market in the best possible way when they are published. The Contracting Authority is particularly interested in input on the requirements specification and the suppliers' leading times.
- Jackets and trousers, cold weather (outer clothing) - a reversible jacket and trousers for use in cold weather.
- Middle layer, jackets and trousers, cold weather (middle layer clothing, M13) - an insulation item that covers soldiers' need for functionality and protection in daily service, training, and in operations.
- Jackets and trousers, heat insulating (outer clothing) - jacket and trousers for use in extreme cold weather.
The contracting authority has split the market survey into two parts. The first part is general information on the procurement and the second part is on the requirements specification. Each part of the market survey has a separate response form.
The contracting authority points out that we do not currently have requirements specification for jackets and trousers, heat insulating. The market survey does not, therefore, currently cover these products.
