Technical requirements: Bergen Municipality, the Agency for Development, hereby invites tenderers to a competition for a contract for a builder ombudsman for the project K0310 Sentralbadet, dramatic arts centre.
The builder ombudsman assignment comprises assistance to the builder in all phases from planning to the completed trial operation 3 years after the building has been taken into use. The service requires the tenderer to be present in Bergen, as the engineering design services, construction work and all meetings will take place there. The assignment will begin immediately after the contract has been established, and will end after the completed trial operation, which will last for 3 years. The total contract period will be 7 years.
Emphasis will be put on good cooperation between all the project participants. The builder ombudsman role is seen as a key factor in this regard. Relationships between employees will be evaluated during the project and persons might have to be replaced if necessary.
1) Key role in major, complicated construction sites, which require an equivalent understanding for the contract and financial work;
2) Experience as a process manager, preferably from interaction contracts in roles such as engineering design manager or project manager;
One of the 3 consultants can be relatively newly qualified, but must still have core competence within 1 of the 4 mentioned fields. The 2 others must have at least 10 years experience from major, complicated construction projects, cf. Points 1 and 2.
In order to provide protection for any weaknesses in the interaction Contractor's organisation, the company must, when required, have access to expertise within all of the relevant fields included in the construction. The scope of this service is impossible to predict, but the estimate given here is from very little to 30 % of the costs for the main service. It will be seen as an advantage if the persons with core competence mentioned above also have expertise within one or several of the fields.
It will be possible to replace and supplement personnel as agreed in the contract period. However it is a prerequisite that the central employees have this project as their main task over time in order to maintain continuity in the project. The company must, therefore, have sufficient staff to absorb personnel changes without this affecting our or the company's other assignments.
Tenderers must be registered in a company register or trade register in the member state where the tenderer is established. As described in Annex XI of Directive 2014/24/EU; suppliers from certain member countries can be required to fulfil other requirements in the mentioned annex.
Companies that are registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and the VAT Register do not need to attach documentation. The Contracting Authority will check the company's organisation number in public registers. Attention is drawn to the fact that it is the organisation number that is on the company's profile for this competition in Mercell that will be checked. For companies that are not registered in the abovementioned register, the tenderer must provide certificates or confirmation of registration (equivalent to a company registration certificate) in a trade register or company register as described in the legislation in the country where the tenderer is established. The certificate must not be issued more than 6 months prior to the tender deadline.
The Contracting Authority will obtain information on the company´s economic and financial capacity via Proff Forvalt, (companies that have submitted their accounts to the Brønnøysund Register Company are registered through Proff Forvalt). If the information on Proff Forvalt is not correct, or if supplementary information is required to highlight the company's economic and financial situation, this can be submitted. All the received and any obtained information will form the basis for an overall assessment of whether the qualification requirement is fulfilled.
The company's relevant assignments in the last 3 years, listed in the reference list template. The chosen tenderer will be sent the template for a reference list in order to document fulfilment of the qualification requirement. In cases where the company does not have the necessary qualifications, but relies on other suppliers to be qualified, equivalent documentation must be submitted for them.
The main tenderer must have had a workforce of minimum 10 employees with relevant competence in the last 3 years.
Documentation requirement: a brief overview of employee names with their title, role and work assignments.

Eligibility requirements: Registered in a trade register or company register. Tenderers must be registered in a company register or trade register in the member state where the tenderer is established. As described in Annex XI of Directive 2014/24/EU; suppliers from certain member countries can be required to fulfil other requirements in the mentioned annex. Minimum requirements for the qualification requirements: The company shall be legally registered. Documentation requirement: Companies that are registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and the VAT Register do not need to attach documentation.
