Technical requirements: The procurement shall be made in accordance with the Public Procurement Act dated 17 June 2016 (LOA) and the Public Procurement Regulations (FOA) FOR 2016-08-12-974. Parts II and IV of the regulations apply for this procurement, the procurement of health and social services. The competition is based on an open tender contest, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 8-3. The contracting authority plans to award the contract without having a dialogue with the tenderers beyond making any clarifications/corrections. Dialogue through negotiations can, however, be carried out if the contracting authority, after the tenders have been received, considers it appropriate. The selection will, in such cases, be made after an assessment of the award criteria. Emphasis is put on the fact that no tenderers can expect a dialogue on their tender and must, thus, submit their best tender. Furthermore, attention is agreed that tenders that include significant deviations from the competition documents shall be rejected in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations § 9-6 (1) b). The contracting authority can reject tenders that include deviations from the procurement documents, uncertainties etc., which must not be considered insignificant, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 9-6 (2) cf. § 24-8 (2). Tenderers are therefore strongly encouraged to follow the instructions given in this tender documentation with annexes and possibly to question uncertainties through EU Supply to the contracting authority's gender neutral preferred.
The contracting authority needs to procure a parallel framework agreement with up to four (4) tenderers for hourly based health and care services, provided that there are four (4) suitable tenderers and tenders. The service is pursed in the Act 24 June 2011 no. 30 on municipal health and welfare services; • § 3-6 no. 2 respite measures • § 3-2 no. 6 a. health service in the home b. personal assistance, including practical assistance and training and support contact With health and care services, inspections are aimed at night for children and adults who, due to health reasons or different types of disabilities, have a legitimate need for this. The contracting authority reserves the right to extend the contract for inspection offers on days and evenings. Decisions on assignments (call-offs) will be made by Sandnes kommune, c/o the Coordination Unit. The specific need will be in the call-off, for example, whether there is a need for waking or resting night shifts, the shift ́s length and so on. The services are awarded by user choice pursuant to PPR § 30-1 (4). If the user does not want to make a selection, the contracting authority will ask tenderers after ranking from the contract award in this competition. If the tenderer ranked as number 1 does not have the capacity, opportunity or for other reasons is unsuitable to receive the user, the contracting authority will contact the next supplier on the list, and so on. If other considerations are strongly prevailing, for example response time, geographical distance, the user's concrete needs etc., the contracting authority reserves the right to freely choose the tenderer when awarding. It is expected that the measure can be initiated within a reasonable time. A reasonable time is expected to be 1 month after it has been clarified between the parties that the tenderer shall provide services on behalf of the municipality, depending on the type of assignment. Tenderers must reckon on earlier start-up in urgent cases.
