Technical requirements: Bærum Municipality invites tenderers to a restricted tender competition for parallel framework agreements for the procurement of graphical services.
The Budget and Analysis Unit has, amongst other things, a need for assistance with the formulation of the annual report and action programme every year. In addition the Communication Unit needs graphical services for both minor, major and complex assignments. Other service places in Bærum Municipality also need graphical services and, therefore, all other service areas/service places in the municipality can use this contract.
Bærum Municipality´s need for graphical services, and thereby the scope of this scope consists of, amongst other things:
— Consultancy services and production related to graphical design, illustrations and infographics, also for digital platforms
The main delivery will mostly consist of graphical services, where all the material (e.g., pictures/illustrations and text) comes from the Contracting Authority, i.e., Bærum Municipality. In some cases we would like the tenderer to help out with illustrations and possibly photographs.
Assistance can be required for the further development of elements in the municipality´s graphical profile (e.g., brochure and document templates, profile for municipal buildings, signage, etc.).
This contract for graphical services will, however, be a 'non-exclusive' contract, as the Contracting Authority already has contracts that cover some types of graphical services and similar services, which will not be included in this contract. See point 1.6.1. in the tender documentation for further information on the contracts and their content.
Based on the consumption in recent years, the estimated combined annual call-offs will be approx. 400,000 NOK - 600,000 NOK excluding VAT. The annual call-offs will depend on the financial framework terms, political decisions and the market situation in general.
The contract period will be 2 years, with an option for an extension of the contract 1 or more times, up to 2 years. The total contract period will be 4 years if the full option is taken up.
If there are more than 9-11 tenderers who fulfil the minimum requirements for the qualifications in points 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, the contracting authority will rank the tenderers based on their degree of fulfilment of point 3.5. Requirement 4 - Experience in the qualification documentation.
The contract period will be 2 years, with an option for an extension of the contract 1 or more times, up to 2 years. The total contract period will be 4 years if the full option is taken up.
