Technical requirements: Politiets fellestjenester (PFT) (the Norwegian Police Shared Services), hereafter called the contracting authority, will enter into a framework agreement for the procurement of snowmobiles, ATVs/UTVs and watercraft. Based on procurements from previous years and without obligation for the contracting authority, withdrawal during the contract period excluding options is anticipated to be approx. NOK 22 million. This amounts to approx. NOK 17 million for snowmobiles and approx. NOK 3.3 million for ATVs/UTVs. Watercraft is a new product. There is a great need for watercraft, but purchase on a new contract will depend on allocations and prioritising as well as prices achieved in the competition. The estimated value for watercraft is set at NOK 1.7 million.
The vehicle is a workplace for operative personnel and therefore there is a need for vehicles with good safety systems, good handling for example stability, sufficient comfort, sitting position and good and practical solutions for storing police operative equipment.
Operating safety is also very important for the safety of patrol crews. The snowmobiles must function almost optimally under the varying conditions such as low temperatures down to -40C, in loose snow/powder snow with a depth of up to 1.5 metres, in wet/sticky snow and acceleration on water surfaces.
It is also expected that the snowmobiles manage at least 8 000 km — 10 000 km within a four year period. For some areas and districts where the use of snowmobiles is low they may be in service for more than 10 years.
A well developed service network in Norway is also important so that the users can easily and quickly get help when needed in connection with amongst other things service and maintenance.
Option for products: the contracting authority has the option to extend the contract with options and additional products listed in Annex 1 Requirement Specification.
Lot 1 Snowmobiles and Lot 2 ATVs and UTVs are awarded to one supplier. These two lots therefore have one contract.

It is also expected that the watercraft have a minimum 5 year lifetime in police patrol service. For some areas and districts where use of watercraft will be low, they may be in service for more than 10 years.
