Oslo municipality has high ambitions to set stricter climate and environmental requirements in its procurements. From 01.01.2025, all of Oslo municipality ́s building and construction sites shall be emission free and the transport of matter shall be emission free or by using biogas technology. Transport shall then be made with the help of zero emission (i.e. battery electrical or hydrogen) or biogas technology that as a minimum fulfils euro class 6/V. In this procurement it will not be evaluated on the environment as the minimum requirements for direct emissions in each call-off, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9. The minimum requirements in call-offs for 100% emission free site and a minimum of biogas for mass transport will have a significantly better environmental and climate effect than applying this as an award criteria in the framework agreement. When it comes to indirect emissions, it is inappropriate to lock contractors to specific materials in a general framework agreement. Absolute requirements in the call-offs will mean that the Agency for Urban Environment can follow technology development during the framework agreement period in an appropriate manner. In accordance with the call-off mechanism in point 3.15.1, it will also be possible to weight suitable environmental considerations in future mini competitions. Machines, which at the time of the notice, do not exist with emission free fuel type in the market, will have to be priced with fuel type biodiesel in the framework agreement. These machines may be subject to competition with zero emission technology in each call-off when one or several of these machines are entering the market, either as a minimum requirement for a new fuel type or an award criteria.
The Agency for Urban Environment intends to enter into a framework agreement for the purchase of site work that can cover the entire Urban Environment Agency ́s management area. The framework agreement will cover construction work that mainly involves works on, along and in roads, but it will also include ground and surface works within the agency ́s other disciplines, such as urban areas, park areas, footpaths, sports facilities etc. This framework agreement will be in addition to separate tender contests for upgrading roads, squares and meeting places. See the tender documentation and annexes for detailed information.
