Technical requirements: 2018030057 - Framework Agreement for Service, Maintenance, and Delivery of Spare Parts for Volvo Construction Machinery and Volvo Products
The purpose of the framework agreement is to cover the contracting authority's needs for workshop services, subsystems, spare parts and technical support for the Armed Forces' inventory of Volvo construction machinery and products produced by Volvo Construction Equipment AB. The inventory mainly consists of approx. 150 Volvo wheel loaders, but other Volvo construction machines such as Volvo wheeled excavators are also included in the agreement. The Armed Forces have currently 20 different models of Volvo wheel loaders, see in more detail Appendix B: Requirements specification, where all models are listed and described, including the relevant subsystems for the wheel loaders.
The agreement must ensure the contracting authority's maintenance and supply capacity for the existing Volvo construction machinery beyond what the Defense Sector has in its own organisation, at a sustainable cost.
The maintenance services shall, as a general rule, be performed at the Armed Forces' workshops, unless otherwise agreed, see further information in Appendix E: Delivery conditions. The framework agreement is not intended to be a replacement for the Norwegian Armed Forces' workshop resources, but a supplement when our workshops are lacking the capacity. Moreover, some of the Armed Forces' bases and branches will be completely dependent on external civilian workshops as the Armed Forces are lacking workshop resources in all their areas.
Options for extension of the agreement. The options for extension are automatically activated unless the contracting authority gives written notice no later than 30 calendar days prior to the end of the current contract period.
