The procurements includes:

- Ordering, delivery, and transport of consumables for office equipment delivered to the user-locations of the entities in Vågan Municipality. An overview of addresses and locations is attached. All products shall be delivered to DDP Vågan municipality. See point 1.8 and 1.9 Contract Value/Volume: The procurement's total contract value is estimated to be NOK 5.1 million over 4 years excluding VAT. The figures are based on historical data and the contracting authority's expected future need, and we estimate that the maximum value will be NOK 7.0 million. The contracting authority is not bound to an equivalent amount. The price is given in DDP Svolvær - see point 1.8 and 1.9 in the rules for the contest.

The contracting authority reserves the right not to negotiate with the tenderers if the contracting authority finds that this is appropriate after the tenders have been submitted, cf. PPR § 23-7(5).[A1] [A2] [A1]. Remember that notification of this must be given in the actual notice so that not negotiations are allowed.

[A2] OK, but where else is information to be given in Mercell. Thought that information would be given here through the tender documentation.
