Technical requirements: The aim of the procurement is to ensure that the Agency for Urban Environment has sufficient capacity and competence within project management services, particularly within building and construction. There could also be a need for project managers/professionals with competence to assist the Agency's other needs, for example, controllers, work crime resources, quality advisors (QA1 and QA2). This will be done by procuring a framework agreement for external project management competence. The Agency for Urban Environment intends to enter into a framework agreement with maximum 5 tenderers, provided that are a sufficient number of tenderers and tenders.
The framework agreement is not exclusive for the services that come under its scope. The contracting authority reserves the right to procure equivalent services outside the framework agreement in accordance with the law and regulations on public procurements.
The Agency for Urban Environment currently has its own permanent relevant resources in several of the Agency's divisions. However the need for project managers and professionals is at times greater than what the resource units can cover.
See the tender documentation, annex 1 - Requirements Specification, for further details on the assignments that could be carried out and the expectations for project managers.
The financial scope of the framework agreement is estimated to make up approx. NOK 200 million over the course of the entire contract period. The estimate includes options and is on the assumption that these are taken up in accordance with point 1.5.1 in the tender documentation. The maximum value/turnover of the contract is also set to NOK 200 million.
NS-8402:2010 applies to the framework agreement, with the changes and supplements in Oslo Municipality's contract formula for NS-8402.
The contracting authority has an option to extend the contract for up to a further 2 years for one year at a time (1+1) on the same terms, with the exception of adjustment to the hourly rate.
The option years will be automatically taken up and without any acceptance requirement from the tenderers. If the contracting authority does not want an extension, written notification must be given at the latest 3 (three) months before the contract period expires, cf. the first paragraph.
Contracts that are entered into in the framework agreement period must be completed even if these last for longer than the framework agreement period.
Questions from tenderers have made the contracting authority aware of uncertainties in the tender documentation that cannot be solved in any other way than by cancelling the contest. The contracting authority will review the tender documentation and make the necessary corrections before the contest is announced again.
A reference to the new contest will be communicated via the message module to all tenderers that have registered an interest in the contest that is now cancelled.
