Technical requirements: Grimstad kommune, hereafter called the Contracting Authority, invites tenderers to an open tender competition in connection with the procurement of parallel framework agreements for the purchase of health and social services for individual users.
Note! The Contracting Authority considers residential collective services as particularly suited for voluntary organisations, foundations and parishes. Commercial parties must nevertheless freely submit tender offers on this service area.
The procurement concerns parallel framework agreements for health and social services for users needing 24-hour care.
The Contracting Authority will enter into framework agreements with a minimum of 3 and maximum of ten parallel service providers for each of the 3 service areas: Health services for individual users, social services for individual users and residential collective services for individual users.
This concerns a number of requirements for the service stated in the tender documentation, and the requirements also vary depending on which service area the tender offer is submitted on.
There are specific rules for the allocation of call-offs under framework agreement, which differ from the award criteria of the framework agreement, and here reference is made to the tender documentation.
The contracting authority has the option to extend the framework agreement for 1+1+1+1+1 years. The option years are taken into account in the estimate of the contract's total value.
The tenderer shall not have significant unsettled obligations regarding the payment of taxes and duties.
The Contracting Authority must be able to carry out a credit rating-analysis of the tenderers. The Contracting Authority utilises www.bisnode.no. The minimum ranking for requirements of earnings, solidity and liquidity is ‘Satisfactory’ or better.
Health, environment and safety: Tenderers shall have ethically sound procedures that ensure fulfilment of the legislated requirements in health, environment and safety work. The procedures shall also include mapping of risk, implementation, identifying and deviation processing.
The company shall have experience with providing services to people with a need for health services, care services, social services or book collective services.
Tenderers shall have an ethical system for internal control that is adapted to the services to be delivered.
All interested parties can deliver tender offers, and after the tender deadline expiry, the Contracting Authority will decide whether to have dialogue with the tenderers. Refer to the Public Procurement Regulations § 9-2 and § 9-3.
The award shall occur based on which tender offer is the most economically advantageous for the individual service area, based on the following criteria and weighting:
Procurement of health and social services follows particular provisions according to Norwegian law. See the public procurement regulation part IV.
