Description

The framework agreement shall cover the contracting authority's need for storage equipment/shelving in an expedient and cost efficient way. Equipment/storage ordered under this framework agreement can also be used in other facilities than the contracting authority's stores, such as workshops, laboratories, teaching rooms, archives etc. The extent and complexity of the delivery can vary as regards the estimated need and for each individual call-off. Deliveries shall be made to all of the contracting authority's locations in Norway and the supplier must be prepared, if needed, to deliver for major equipment/shelving projects. Where the contracting authority deems it appropriate, the contracting authority may order products for its locations abroad. If so, the delivery time and conditions shall be agreed separately in each individual call-off. The need may change during the contract period. Historical figures shall only be seen as a guiding estimate. Variation in the extent over time will be dependent on the overall political, strategic and operational decisions, or other factors. The total annual volume may therefore be both more or less than expected. The Contracting Authority undertakes no obligations concerning a binding volume. Deviations as regards the estimated need are not a basis for demands or negotiations. The estimates are made in accordance with our best judgement and the extent's size will depend on the contracting authority's activity. Detailed information on the scope of delivery and performance requirements are presented in Part II Annex A, Scope of Delivery and in Appendix E: Requirement Specification.
