BTV Procurement is implementing a tender contest for a framework agreement for food articles on behalf of 3 counties and numerous municipalities in the region. See the tender documentation for further information.

The contract involves procurement and delivery of food articles to the participants in the BTV cooperation, in accordance with the attached list of enterprises. The delivery is divided in 7 groups, in accordance with the description given below. Tenders can be given for 1 group, several groups or all. Tenders in each group will be evaluated separately and a framework agreement will be entered into with the tenderer with the best tender in each group. 1 tenderer will be selected for each group. The maximum contract awards are therefore 7.

Group 1: Groceries, ice cream, eggs, frozen fish (the estimated annual value is 48 000 000 NOK excluding VAT);

Group 2: Fresh fruits, berries, vegetables and potatoes; fresh, processed (sous vide) (the estimated annual value is 9 000 000 NOK excluding VAT);

Group 3: Vegetables and berries, frozen (the estimated annual value is 3 000 000 NOK excluding VAT);

Group 4: Poultry products, fresh and frozen (the estimated annual value is 3 000 000 NOK excluding VAT);

Group 5: Meat products, fresh and frozen (the estimated annual value is 20 000 000 NOK excluding VAT);

Group 6: Dairy products, solid and liquid (the estimated annual value is 36 000 000 NOK excluding VAT);

Group 7: Mineral water (the estimated annual value is 750 000 NOK excluding VAT).

The procurement's total value is estimated to be 120 000 000 NOK excluding VAT per annum. The estimated values are based on statistics for the procurement of equivalent products for a similar buyer group for previous years, as well as future budgets. The values must therefore be seen as a non-binding estimate.
