The framework agreement will have a 2-year duration with the unilateral opportunity for the contracting authority to extend the contract for a further 1 year + 1 year. The maximum duration of the framework agreement after this will be 4 years.

The anticipated scope and volume of the framework agreement is between NOK 0.5 million and NOK 2 million per year.
