Public procurement notice: Periodic Indicative Notice Without Call For Competition
Published: 2021-10-01
Buyer: Bane NOR SF
Country: NO
Contract type: Services
CPV classification: 72410000: Provider services

Technical requirements: Bane NOR  will, as the owner and operations manager for the goods terminals in Norway, develop, manage, and facilitate good terminal systems. Bane NOR would like to contribute to an increase in the railway's share of the goods market through strong focus on cost efficient and strategic intersection development.
The current terminal mode for Alnabru involves several simultaneous terminal operators. The model can have weaknesses that mean that the terminal is not optimally used (resources/capacity). As the goods terminal is an important, but large cost unit in the value chain goods traffic on the railway, Bane NOR would like to have a dialogue with the market on terminal operation and any changes for the Alnabru terminal.
The aim of the market dialogue is to give Bane NOR more information on the conditions around terminal operations, as well as having a dialogue around measures that can be sensible to implement for more efficient operations. See Part VI - detailed information for further information on the market dialogue process.
See the above point on 'short description'. In addition Bane NOR would like to inform the market of plans and the possibilities that exist with a changed terminal model.
Bane NOR SF is subject to the Open Files Act. The main rule here is that case documents, journals, and similar registers are open for insight unless otherwise stated in the law or regulations pursuant to the law. Tenderers will have protection for their business secrets or information that is vital to the business. The dialogue is not binding for the parties in the dialogue. Bane NOR will not cover the costs incurred whilst participating in the market dialogue.
The documentation from the market dialogue, as well as the minutes and other relevant documents will be made available at https://www.banenor.no/leverandor/
Bane NOR invites suppliers to a market dialogue on a new terminal model for Alnabru goods terminal. Requests for registration for the market dialogue can be sent by email to kristian.falkgard@banenor.no by Friday 08.10.2021 EOB. Mark the subject field 'New Terminal Model - Alnabru'.
Bane NOR reserves the right to reject without a reason participants who are deemed as not of interest or relevant for the market dialogue.
Bane NOR will hold a joint meeting for participants in the market dialogue on TEAMS on 13.10.2021 from 09:00 – 10:00. A link to the meeting with the agenda will be sent out in advance. 1:1 meetings will be held afterwards with selected suppliers/participants in the period 13-14.10.2021. For practical reasons, Bane NOR requests that participants give feedback in the registration on whether a 1:1 meeting is wanted. Questions and answers before, during, and after the dialogue will be dealt with in anonymised form. Minutes will be taken at the meetings. The meeting will be held in Norwegian unless a decision is made otherwise.
Participation in the market dialogue is not required for participation in a future procurement process on terminal services, if this comes about. Such contests will be announced in separate tenders with contest documentation.
