Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The contract is for framework agreements for the delivery, transport and spreading of lime for the deacidification of acid water in lakes in south Norway, as well as the delivery of coarse lime/shell sand for liming in streams in some counties. The contract is divided by county into 8 sub assignments.
The contracts will be valid from when they are signed by the parties (planned in May/June 2016) up to and including 31.10.2017, with an option for an extension for 1 plus 1 year.
2. Delivery and transport of sacks with coarse lime/shell sand for setting out in agreed places in the terrain or by roads (does not apply for all of the sub assignments).
A separate framework agreement shall be signed with the County Governor for each sub assignment. Call-offs on the contract will be made by a representative for the County Governor. The need for lime and the liming locations will vary from year to year, so the total amount of annual call-offs within the contract is therefore not set. In general, a gradually falling need is expected for lime and liming of lakes. All the stated lime amounts in the tender documentation are estimates and apply for 2016.
The actual amount of lime that is ordered and the number of locations where lime is used can change within the contract period (the need varies from year to year), in relation to the amounts and number of locations stated for 2016.
