The financing for the expansion of the Building E was approved by the Ministry of Health and Care Services in October 2020, and the buildings for Nye SUS were extended by 20 000 m2 from 105 000 m2 to 125 000 m2.

Helse Stavanger HF now intends to extend the contract with Bravida Norge AS for the necessary additional delivery, including the delivery of pipe installations for gas and pressurised air for the extended building. The contract extension is a supplement of contract services that Bravida Norge AS have already been contracted to deliver, and technically, only this supplier can deliver the service in question. K3401 is a transverse contract, where pressure monitors and alarms are connected to joint monitoring and alarm installations. It is necessary that this is delivered from the same supplier for operational and safety reasons. Central systems for vacuum installations and the extraction system require the same type of extraction values and connection equipment as that used in stage 1, as well as control from a joint control system. A potential situation with two suppliers for equivalent deliveries could expose, amongst others, the operations department at the hospital and patients to an unacceptable risk of technical error, and add a very demanding interface with the existing installations. Helse Stavanger HF and Bravida Norge AS have entered into a contract for the delivery of medical gas and pressurised air installations, and the expansion/continuation of the installations in question therefore makes up necessary additional deliveries that were not included in the original contract, and which can be legally included pursuant to the Public Procurement Regulations, Section 28-1 (1), letter c. The reasons for expanding the existing contract are of both a technical and financial character, and are justified as the additional deliveries must be compatible with the existing equipment and software due to operational and safety reasons. In addition, a change of supplier would lead to considerable technical challenges and significant extra costs for the contracting authority. A change of supplier cannot occur for technical reasons, and the term in the Public Procurement Regulations, Section 28-1, first paragraph, letter c, is this fulfilled. Voluntary ex-ante transparency notice in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations, Section 21-5 c.f. Section 28-1, first paragraph, letter c. The contract will be signed at the earliest 10 days after this notice is published.
