Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The project was first announced 4 March 2023, but had to be cancelled two days before the tender deadline due to shortcomings in the tender documentation. Due to this late cancellation, the contracting authority had time to organise a tender inspection and to respond to all questions that were submitted. Now that the project is being announced for the 2nd time, the contracting authority considers it unnecessary to hold another inspection. The minutes of the site inspection (21 March 2023) will be published as additional information, as will all previously submitted and answered questions.
Tenderers are reminded that all information made available as additional information is binding for the future contracting party in the same way as information provided in other contest documents. All potential tenderers are therefore strongly encouraged to read the available information carefully and to submit any questions before the end of the deadline for questions: Monday 15 May 2023.
Hordnestunet Nursing Home will be renovated with further operations and adaptations for a new user group in mind. The building is over two storeys, with the floor plans on level U being changed while those for level 1 will be continued for the most part. There will be no extensions, additions or alterations to the facade, other than the replacement of windows and doors. The project is planned to be carried out as a turnkey contract.
Level U will be rebuilt and the floor plan will be largely redesigned. These areas will house operational and support functions such as offices, laundry rooms and staff changing rooms. A new floor will be established on the ground (see the RIB description) and windows and doors will be replaced. Interior surfaces and fixtures will mainly be replaced.
Level 1 will have minor changes to the floor plan. Existing resident rooms (and bathrooms) will be retained and continued, while the common areas will be partially rebuilt.
Windows and doors will be replaced. A new balcony will also be established (see the RIB and LARK descriptions).
Interior surfaces and fixtures will mainly be replaced (or refurbished where demolition is not necessary).
The users who will live at Hordnestunet nursing home are patients with substance abuse problems and somatic disorders. It is therefore important that the turnkey contractor develop long-term and good solutions for the residents while ensuring a safe working environment for the employees.
