The purpose of the contract is the procurement of antigen rapid tests for detection of CoV-2 (covid-19). At the time of the tender for the procurement the contracting authority recognises that there will be an increased need for self-tests and professional tests during the contract period. This is based on the current infection situation and test strategy.
Framework agreements will be entered into with up to 10 suppliers, for 1 + 1 year where the estimated total maximum value for calls on concluded framework agreements, or mini-competitions under the framework agreements, is approx. NOK 4 billion excluding VAT provided that the financial and professional/political decisions have been made.  The framework agreements shall also cover any new / changed tests for SARS-CoV-2 (covid-19), which must be a part of the supplier's product portfolio or developed by the supplier during the lifetime of the framework agreements.  The scope of the tests to be subject to call-offs against a mini-contest will be given in each notice.
There is great uncertainty concerning total volume and the need for rapid tests will depend on the at any given time applicable infection situation and test strategy. The estimated scope in the tender documents is non-binding for the contracting authority, and the Client is not obligated to purchase a decided volume within the individual variants of tests during the agreement period. See the Requirements Specification, Price sheet and Appendix 8 'Prosedyre for minikonkurranse' ('Procedure for mini-contest') for a more detailed description.
