Based on our surveys and knowledge of the market, there is only one supplier that can meet the Directorate of Health's need for all of the services in question. No other actors in Norway have been identified that can provide this combination of access to professional resources, in-depth competence and experience with work on diabetes, and an equivalent network of users and professional experts. In addition, the Diabetesforbundet has had long experience with holding national conferences on this subject. The actual contract will only cover parts of the expenses connected to holding the conference. It is a prerequisite that Diabetesforbundet contributes with its own financial resources to cover expenses not covered by the Directorate of Health's contribution.
Therefore the exemption in the public procurement regulations, section 13-4 letter b) no. 2 can be used in this case, as the contracting authority considers that, in reality, there is a 'monopoly situation'. The contracting authority also believes that there are no reasonable alternatives in the current market.
The contract will be for a maximum of 4 years, and will be renewed automatically each year until it is terminated by one of the parties. The contracting authority intends to enter into a contract with Diabetesforbundet as soon as possible after the deadline for this voluntary ex-ante transparency notice has expired, 30.5.22. Other similar assignments can be relevant during the contract period, i.e., the development of subject information material, development of teaching material/courses for health personnel, patients, and relatives, translation and adaptation of information for groups with special needs, mapping relevant subjects, communication, and implementation.
