Technical requirements: The objective of the call for tenders is to enter framework agreements for consultancy and engineering design services related to technical infrastructure for roads, water and sewage systems.

The contract value is estimated to be NOK 50 000 000 excluding VAT. The value is an estimate and is non-binding for the contracting authority. The need is uncertain. The volume will be dependent on i.a. the contracting authority's requirements, activities, budget and other framework factors.
The expected value for execution contracts for roads, water and sewage measures is NOK 120 000 000 excluding VAT.
The contracting authority refers to the current situation with the outbreak of the Corona virus (COVID-19). The tenderers must, as always when submitting tenders, take into account any conditions that will affect the tender. The Corona virus outbreak is no exception to this.

The contracting authority refers, for example, to the contract standards NS8401 and NS8402, point 9, which are relevant in this context.
Tenders cannot be submitted for parts of the assignment and alternative tenders are not allowed. The contracting authority has considered dividing up the assignment in accordance with PPR §19-4 but has decided that this is not suitable for this type of contract.
The contracting authority shall enter into an agreement with three or more tenderers, if a sufficient number of qualified tenderers submit tenders. The distribution of assignments (turnover) between the tenderers is shown in point 3.3.1 of the framework agreement.
