Prior information notice - - Inquiry of competition regarding medical consumables EEA 059-2017 [EØS 059-2017].
Bergen kommune and cooperating partners want to enter into a framework agreement on the purchase and delivery of medical consumables. We hereby release parts of the competition for consultation, and are providing the tenderers the possibility to provide input to the preliminary tender documentation. In the planning phase of a tender it is possible to have a dialogue with the market on the tender and tenderers are encouraged, therefore, to use this possibility to give input. Bergen municipality will not be obliged to comply with the input and emphasises that the content in the documents is only to be seen as a provisional sketch for the competition. The consultation deadline is 12.2.2018. Any costs for the tenderers connected to the hearing will not be refunded. The final tender documentation is planned to be announced in February.
Bergen municipality wants to enter into framework agreements on the purchase and delivery of medical consumables. The agreement is divided into the following product categories:
The major users of this framework agreement are the nursing homes, home nursing care, Strax-huset, the emergency doctor, Immediate help services and doctor offices in the collaborating municipalities. However, the framework agreement shall be accessible for all entities in Bergen kommune and the collaborating parties.
The estimated contract value is NOK 20 million per annum, excluding VAT. The total contract value, including options, will be approx. 80 000 000 NOK excluding VAT. The stated amounts are estimates based on statistics, the reported volume from the departments and information from current suppliers. The contract is subject to changes in volume, including, amongst other things, from budget resolutions, any competitive tendering of services, the municipality's activities and /or organisation.
Due to a political decision on changes to the institution structure in Bergen municipality, there will be some new nursing homes in the contract period (engineering design services/construction is being carried out) and some institutions will be closed. These changes will not lead to major changes in the volume.

— Åsane: 100 places. Planned completion in 2021. This nursing home shall be replacement places in the first years for Midtbygda nursing home which shall be renovated.
