Technical requirements: The procurement will be made in accordance with the Public Procurement Act of 17 June 2016 (LOA) and the Public Procurement Regulations (FOA) dated 19 February 2020 no. 974.
Parts II and IV of the regulations apply for this procurement, the procurement of health and social services. The competition is based on an open tender contest, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 8-3.
The contracting authority plans to award the contract without having a dialogue with the tenderers beyond making any clarifications/corrections. Dialogue through negotiations can, however, be carried out if the contracting authority, after the tenders have been received, considers it appropriate. The selection will, in such cases, be made after an assessment of the award criteria. Emphasis is put on the fact that no tenderers can expect a dialogue on their tender and must, thus, submit their best tender. 
Furthermore, attention is agreed that tenders that include significant deviations from the competition documents shall be rejected in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations § 9-6 (1) b). The contracting authority can reject tenders that include deviations from the procurement documents, uncertainties etc., which must not be considered insignificant, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 9-6 (2) cf. § 24-8 (2).
Tenderers are therefore strongly encouraged to follow the instructions given in this tender documentation with annexes and possibly to question uncertainties through EU Supply to the contracting authority's gender neutral preferred.
The contracting authority needs to procure a parallel framework agreement with up to two (2) tenderers for covering 24 hour residential and welfare services for users with resource demanding services in Sandnes kommune, provided that there are two (2) suitable tenderers and tender offers.
The service is pursed in the Act 24 June 2011 no. 30 on municipal health and welfare services;
• § 4-1 on prudence
§ 3-1 on the municipality ́s overall responsibility for health and care services.
• 3-2 no. 6 letter c. place in an institution, including a nursing home.
Act 2 July 1999 no. 63 on patient and user rights;
§ 2-1 on the right to necessary help from the municipality ́s health and welfare service.
as well as special legal basis, including legal judgement from the courts.
The service is awarded to adult users with a large and complex facilitation need with different types and intensity of disabilities such as, for example, but not limited to mental disabilities, mental disorders, physical disabilities, developmental disturbances, challenging behaviours or a combination of them. The contracting authority draws attention to the fact that in some cases users with drug and alcohol challenges can present.
The framework agreement also applies for individual users with special needs as far as applicable. Special needs can include medicament challenges, infectious considerations and a need for special competence etc. In cases where the special need does not fit the framework agreement, the contracting authority reserves the right to procure services outside the contract.
The aim of the procurement is to ensure users quality approved services when the contracting authority does not have the capacity to meet the needs of self-management. Returning to the municipality is a general goal and the tenderer shall actively contribute in facilitating the return. The extent of the framework agreement can, therefore, vary considerably from year to year.
Tenderers shall, in a separate annex, give a detailed description of how the points under "Quality Requirements" in "Annex 2 - Requirement Specifications" will be fulfilled.
Tenderers shall fill in the offered prices in "Annex 3 - Price Form".
