Technical requirements: Prequalification — Procurement of an Engineering Design Group for Nordmøre and Romsdal Hospital (SNR)
Sjukehuset Nordmøre og Romsdal (Nordmøre og Romsdal Hospital) is one of the most important projects in central Norway. The aim of the project is to deliver a future oriented and modern specialist health service offer for the population in the region.
Sykehusbygg invites tenderers to submit tenders in a contest with negotiations for a contract with a tenderer that will be a consultant and engineering designer within all the technical, construction, and site disciplines with the exception of architecture and landscape architecture. Two parallel contests will be held: One for the architect, and one for the consultant engineering designers.
The emergency hospital at Hjelset is, per December 2020, a completed preliminary project that is ready for the detailed engineering design services.
The assignment consists of detailed engineering design services for the work basis for the turnkey and execution contracts. In some cases the work basis will have to be prepared before a contractor is contracted. After such a work basis has been prepared, the contracting authority can choose to transfer the tenderer to one or more turnkey contractors or execution contractors. Individual persons or individual disciplines at the tenderer could also be transferred to one or several contractors. The tenderer must be prepared that their workplace can be managed by the contract they are working for.
It may also be relevant to prepare a basis for execution contracts. A provisional contract plan has been drawn up in Part II Contract Basis, chapter A.3.4 Contract Structure. The tenderer will take over as the responsible engineering designer (PRO) for his disciplines, c.f. the Building Application Regulations.
A contract will be signed with one tenderer for architecture and one tenderer for engineering design services. The contracting authority will be responsible for general progress and uniformity. The tenderers will manage their respective organisations within this framework. Those chosen to be suppliers will be expected to make up the management for the engineering design services together with the contracting authority.
Tenderers must offer a PGL and PRL who will see to the coordination between all the engineering designers and the builder.
Tenderers must offer a consulting ITB (RITB in accordance with NS 3935:2019 Integrated Technical Building Installations (ITB) — Engineering Design, Execution and commissioning) who will be responsible for planning systematic completion in the engineering design phase.
The contracting authority will, through the project, have an efficient organisation that can discuss solutions and consequences, and be capable of making quick decisions.
The parties will enter into a contract based on engineering design services remunerated by the number of hours worked.
For any contracts on transport, the parties must agree on a budget for a fixed price contract, cf. Part II Annex B Contract provisions chapter 10.1.
