NRK will contribute to strengthening and developing an open and inclusive Norway. We want to create open meeting places, new understanding and experiences that leave a mark. NRK wants to be a central news communicator and have a high level of trust in the population. At the same time, NRK is part of the total defence with a significant assignment. Our ability to safeguard this assignment is designated by the authorities as a basic national function (GNF) and parts of NRK's activity is subject to the Security Act. NRK’s emergency preparedness obligation is regulated in the Broadcasting Act with regulations, in articles of association and NRK placards, and in a separate agreement with the authorities. A very limited part of NRK's activity is subject to the Security Act. The Security Act only governs a small area that will be used for preparation, storing and sharing of security graded information.
NRK believes it is appropriate to use NS 5834:2016 Society Security — Protection against deliberate undesired events — Planning of security measures in building, construction and property (hereafter NS 5834:2016) in planning and establishment of the new main office. NRK chooses to use the standard as we believe the steps in the process provide the security necessary priority through the entire construction process. NRK will adapt the standard so that it is appropriate for the totality of the relocation project, but ensure structure in the security work and that the professional input comes at the right time.
The framework agreement will be automatically renewed on verbatim terms after the first 2 years, for one year at a time unless cancelled by the client with one month notice before the renewal date. The contract endures as long at the project New Main Office for NRK continues, i.e. until the construction project is completed and the operational phase begins.
