Technical requirements: The competition will be held in accordance with the Public Procurement Act from 17 June 2016 no. 73 (LOA), with the accompanying regulations of 12 August 2016 no. 975 (the Supply Regulations), as well as the provisions in this tender documentation.

The competition will be held as TED - open tender contest in accordance with parts I and II of the regulations.

All interested tenderers can submit tenders for this type of procedure. Negotiations are not allowed.

The procurement is announced in the DOFFIN and TED database.
The competition is for the provision of laboratory services for analyses for the participants.

The municipalities and companies included in the delivery will enter into separate contracts with the tenderer. The tenderer ́s invoicing of services shall be sent to each municipality and company.

The assignment includes:

Planning and implementing the logistics scheme for delivery and collection of sample bottles.
Analysis of different parameters
Guidance and professional support (related to analytical results and methodology)
Assistance with the preparation of individual sample taking programmes for each municipality as needed.
Necessary sample packaging including transport packaging.
Analyses included in routine inspections of the drinking water system (raw water, clean water and net water), sewage treatment (in and out of treatment facilities), sludge samples, lodging water from waste places, watercourse and recipient monitoring, bath water, pool and swimming pools.
Analysis preparedness for reception and analysis outside work hours, i.e. for stand-by samples.
Analytical results shall be continually transferred to the contracting authority ́s internet based system (for example Gurusoft and Mapgraph). The completed import template for use in public databases that exists today, or that may come in the future (e.g. the Norwegian Environment Agency ́s trade system for registering and analysing the condition of water) shall also be included. The import file must be produced continuously and submitted at the same time that the analysis report is sent to the contracting authority.
All relevant information that is in the analysis report shall be transferable to the databases.
The municipalities use different databases and transfers to the database that the municipality uses must be included in the price for the analyses. For example, Gurusoft, Mapgraph.
The value of the procurement is estimated to be above the EEA threshold. The volume is an estimate and is not binding for the contracting authority. 
The tender includes all samples described in the tender documentation. The contracting authorities regularly assess their sample taking programmes, which can lead to the number of samples for each contracting authority being able to decrease/increase. The contracting authorities shall therefore have the opportunity to adjust the number of samples in accordance with the at any given time changed needs.

The contracting authority reserves the right to utilise the option for a 30% amendment to the contract ́s extent without a significant change.

The contracting authority reserves the right to expand the contract ́s extent due to events, stand-by that the customer cannot use, without this being a significant change. This shall not be included in the contract ́s extent.

See point 1.1.1 for a description of the participants in the procurement.
