This framework agreement will include delivery to all of the contracting authority's departments and units - see the websites for Bergen municipality and each collaboration partner for a complete overview. Attention is drawn to the fact that entities can have multiple delivery addresses.
Bergen Municipality currently has approx. 277 400 inhabitants and the municipal organisation structure contains approx. 840 entities, approx. 2 400 delivery addresses, including schools, nurseries, nursing homes, cultural institutions and administration locations. Also included are municipal and inter-municipal enterprises that are partly or fully owned entities and considered as a part of the Bergen municipality's organisations.
A procurement collaboration with several enterprises, as well as inter-municipal enterprises, with Bergen municipality as the host municipality, are established and this tender contest therefore applies to multiple entities in addition to Bergen municipality.
There may be some changes to the participating collaborating parties during the contract period. Some new nursing homes and institutions under construction will be given the opportunity to participate, while others will closed. In summary, this will not lead to significant changes in volume or delivery obligations.
Municipalities can also change due to merging or other political decisions.
The contract period will be 2 years from the contract date, with a unilateral option for a further 1 year + 1 year. The scheduled start-up is July 2020.
Through the procurements, the contracting authority wants to contribute in ensuring environmental considerations and ensuring social and ethical standards. There, there is a number of environmental requirements and criteria in this competition.
