Office Supplies, Free School Materials and Copy Paper, Framework Agreement

Description

The objective of the tender contest is to enter into a framework agreement for the delivery of office supplies, school materials and copy paper. The contracting authority will have a unilateral option for coffee, tea, and drinks such as hot chocolate, mineral water, soft drinks, etc. (not vending machines or coffee machines). See point 1.1.1 for a description of the participants in the procurement. The contract value is estimated to be above the EEA threshold. The estimated value is not binding for the contracting authority. The need is uncertain. Previously, the contracting authority procured services for NOK 6 110 000 excluding VAT a year for the last year. An option for coffee, tea, and drinks is included in the estimated volume. The volume will be dependent on amongst other things, the contracting authority's requirements, activities, budget and other framework factors. See the procurement documents for further information. Lot 1: Lots/groups Tenders cannot be submitted for parts of the assignment, and alternative tenders are not allowed. The contracting authority has considered dividing the assignment in accordance with PPR section 19-4, but has decided that this is not suitable. There are no local suppliers that can cover the entire area. Framework agreement The procurement will be regulated by the attached framework agreement. The contract duration is given on the front page. The options will be triggered automatically, as long as the contracting authority has not given notice to the tenderer that the contract will not be extended. The individual collaborating purchasing parties cannot trigger the option. 'Notice' must be in writing from the contracting authority's side at the latest one (1) month before the contract expires, or one (1) month before any extension year expires. Any reduction to the scope of the delivery will not be liable for compensation. There is a unilateral option for coffee, tea, and drinks (not vending machines or coffee machines): Some of the contracting authorities are preparing a framework agreement for small household products. The option will run until notice is given by each municipality. The option can be terminated with 1 months written notice. The contracting authority will sign a contract with one (1) supplier. The contracting authority expects that the tenderer studies the contractual terms and makes the required internal clarifications in such a way that a contract can be signed if awarded.
