Technical requirements: The purpose of the procurement is to establish an agreement for preliminary engineering design of the Risavika plant, and to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement for consulting engineering services for the Contracting Authority. A contract will be signed with one Tenderer for the entire scope.
A drafting project for the plant was carried out in autumn 2022. The report is attached in Annex 6 - Risavika Draft Project.
It is assumed that further assistance will be required for any detailed engineering design, application processes, construction management and follow-up of the construction process in Risavika. Therefore, the contracting authority would like to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement for consulting engineering services to meet these needs.
The purpose of the procurement is to establish an agreement for preliminary engineering design of the Risavika plant, and to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement for consulting engineering services for the Contracting Authority. A contract will be signed with one Tenderer for the entire scope.
A drafting project for the plant was carried out in autumn 2022. The report is attached in Annex 6 - Risavika Draft Project. In line with the recommendations from the draft project, it has been decided to carry out preliminary engineering design for the Risavika facility.
An important guideline for the Contracting Authority has been that the new facility should largely be established by using the existing buildings. Further maturation of the project has also resulted in some systems being changed from those recommended in the draft project:
- The technical room for separate ventilation for the new lab on the 3rd floor (former canteen area) should be located on the roof above the office wing (so as not to take up office space)
- A reduction in the use of space is planned for the lab area on the 3rd floor. (former canteen area)
The scope of the engineering design work is expected to be significantly reduced from what is described in the draft project, as it was necessary to carry out some parts of the remodelling via a separate fast track project prior to and in parallel with this call for tenders.
The tenderer must prepare a report from the preliminary project, which will, among other things, provide the Contracting Authority with the necessary foundation to be able to tender one or more contracts for the execution of the project. The reports are to be written in English.
It is assumed that further assistance will be required for any detailed engineering design, application processes, construction management and follow-up of the construction process in Risavika. It is also possible that there will be a need for assistance drafting the tender documentation for contracts that will be put out to tender as well as tender contests that may be held in connection with this. It may also be necessary to construct new buildings on the property. Therefore, the contracting authority would like to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement for consulting engineering services to meet these needs.
It is a requirement that the Tenderer can provide services in connection with all of the areas mentioned above. Declarations of commitment must be attached for any subcontractors.
The contract may also be used for the Contracting Authority's other projects beyond Risavika during the period.
Any call-offs on the non-exclusive framework agreement will be carried out in accordance with one of the following contract standards:
Registration should be sent to the Contracting Authority's contact person via Mercell as soon as possible.

Eligibility requirements: Tenderers must be registered in a company register, professional register or a trade register in the country where the tenderer is established. Documentation Requirement: Norwegian tenderers: Company Registration Certificate Foreign companies: Verification showing that the tenderer is registered in a company register, professional register or a commerce register in the country where the tenderer is established.
