The contract will be valid for 2 years from the date the contract is signed. In addition there is an option for an extension of the contract for further 2 years, one year at a time (1 + 1).
It is difficult to estimate the financial scope of the framework agreement. The need for training consultants can vary from year to year, and can depend on grants. This is dependent on the extent of reorganisations and relocation processes in the ministries that will be carried out in the contract period as well as other unexpected occurrences. The total annual value for procurements under the framework agreement, including options, is estimated to between NOK 4 million and NOK 8 million. The estimate is based on consumption under the existing contract and is consequently not binding for the contracting authority. Call-offs on the framework agreement can thus be both higher and lower than estimated. Further information of the various sub-deliveries extent is stated below, under the description for each delivery.
The contract can be extended for a further 1 + 1 year, maximum of 2 years. Total 4 years from when the contract is signed.
