Technical requirements: Drammen Municipality is in need of consultancy services related to external control of major investment projects, quality assurance of the choice of concept (KS1) and quality assurance of the preliminary project (KS2). Tenderers are therefore invited to an open tender contest.
Parallel framework agreements will be signed with up to three tenderers, provided that there are a sufficient number of
Drammen Municipality's regulations for investment projects are based on the government's project model for major investments. External quality assurance is required for investment projects that exceed the applicable thresholds in the regulations.
The quality assurer must check the conceptual design studies with regard to the relevance and validity of the specified options in terms of needs, strategy, overall requirements and utilisation of the feasible space. The quality assurer will also carry out a separate uncertainty analysis and advise on the decision-making strategy. A recommendation on the ranking of the options should be provided, based on the assessed and unassessed impacts and plans for financing.
The quality assessor will assess the quality of the project's work and provide an assessment of the recommended cost framework. This includes an assessment of the uncertain allocations, and an assessment of the proposed organisation and governance in the implementation phase. Based on the quality assurance, it will be decided whether the management document is considered to be of sufficient quality to recommend a cost framework and allocation of the budget.
The investment projects in Drammen Municipality vary in size and complexity, and it is therefore a prerequisite that the quality assurance process is customised to the scope and execution of each individual project.
The need for quality assurance of investment projects will vary depending on the needs of the contracting authority during the contract period.
The number of assignments will vary and, in order to make the most efficient use of the framework agreement, the following rules are used as a basis for call-offs on the framework agreement:
1. Tenderer no. 1 will be requested first. If Tenderer no. 1 is not able to take the assignment, tenderer no. 2 will be asked, and so on.
Tenderer 1 is the one that achieves the highest total score in the evaluation of the tender in accordance with
the award criteria set forth in the tender documentation. Tenderer 2 is the one that achieves the next
When awarding a contract, the contracting authority will set requirements for the date of delivery of the assignment.
The hourly scope of the contract can be negotiated with the tenderer who is awarded the contract after
2. For particularly complex projects, the contracting authority may use mini-contests between tenderers when awarding call-offs.
Particularly complex projects are, for example, projects with high investment costs, or where the nature or scope of the project is particularly complex, or where the project is of such a nature that it involves heavy political discussions/decisions.
