Technical requirements: The Contracting Authority will enter into a parallel Framework Agreement (hereafter called the Framework Agreement) with up to 8 suppliers for the delivery of transport services related to closed school transport for the Stor-Trondheim [Greater Trondheim] area. In this instance, Stor-Trondheim [Greater Trondheim] consists of the municipalities of Trondheim, Klæbu, Melhus, Skaun, Malvik and Stjørdal.
The Framework Agreement must cover the Contracting Authority's ongoing need for closed school transport services in the above-named area.
The Contracting Authority receives occasional requests regarding school transport needs, that for various reasons must change location for a longer or shorter period. The need for closed school transport can occur suddenly and be unplanned (for e.g. water leaks, vandalism), or can be of a planned nature (for e.g. rehabilitation of premises).
Closed school transport means transport of students that is not open to the general public. This Framework Agreement excludes contracts for ordinary school transport, hereunder contracts for scheduled transport by bus and contracts for individually facilitated school transport.
A mini-competition will be held for each assignment under this Framework Agreement. With particularly large and/or unforeseen assignment, there may be a need to implement call-offs where multiple tenderers will be awarded parts of the assignment.
The Contracting Authority has a unilateral option to extend the Framework Agreement for up to 2 years (1 year + 1 year).
Norwegian Tenderers must have their tax, employer contributions and VAT payments in order. Documented by: tax certificate. The certificate must not be more than 6 months old at the deadline for receipt of tenders.
The tenderer must be registered in a company register, professional register or a trade register in the state where the tenderer is established.
— foreign companies: verification that the company is registered in a company register, professional register or a trade register in the state where the tenderer is established.
Documentation: complete Annex 2 Experience from transport assignments. The tenderer must provide a description of a minimum of 3 of the most relevant assignments implemented during the last 3 years. The description must include a brief statement of the assignment, dates and recipients. It is the tenderer's responsibility to document relevance through the description.
If using subcontractors to fulfil the contract, the tenderer must document how much and which parts of the Framework Agreement will be set aside for subcontractors.
Documentation: when using any subcontractors that the contractor intends to use to fulfil the Framework Agreement (and not to meet the qualification requirements), a description of the proportion of the Framework Agreement and, where appropriate, which parts the contractor intends to entrust to the subcontractor(s).
Tenderers must fulfil the terms for performing passenger transport in accordance with the Professional Transport Regulations dated 26.3.2003 No 401.
