We wish to establish a framework agreement for electrical works (high and low voltage). These work comprise service, operation and maintenance, assembly, rehabilitating, repair works, as well as new installations at the Norwegian Veterinary Institute in Oslo.
The Contracting Authority for the contest is The Norwegian Veterinary Institute (VI), a biomedical research institute with animal health, fish health and food safety and animal feed safety as its core areas. We shall have a free and independent position in all professional questions. The Norwegian Veterinary Institute is the authorities' most important knowledge provider for the prevention, advice, clarification and handling of serious infectious diseases in fish and animals and zoonosis. The Norwegian Veterinary Institute also assists in the prevention and handling of crises caused by health hazardous connections and infectious substances in animal feed and food.
The Norwegian Veterinary Institute also provides services and communicates knowledge to businesses, professionals and animal owners. The Norwegian Veterinary Institute has 350 employees, with its main office in Oslo and regional laboratories in Sandnes, Bergen, Trondheim, Harstad and Tromsø.

The nature and scope of the project — Framework agreement for electrical works at The Norwegian Veterinary Institute.
The Norwegian Veterinary Institute wants to establish a framework agreement for electrical works connected to operation and maintenance of the buildings. These work must be able to include engineering design, execution, assembly, changes, rehabilitating and maintenance of existing and new electrical installations and systems. In addition, we want to have periodical internal control of the electrical system carried out. The assignment's scope will be somewhere between 1 400 and 1 800 hours per year, but can vary from year to year. Work area will be i.a. laboratories, offices, server rooms and technical rooms in The Norwegian Veterinary Institute buildings at Adamstuen.
The buildings have a gross area of approx. 17 800 m
The works must at all times coordinate with a business in operation and adapted to ongoing production. Therefore it must be assumed that there will be works beyond normal working hours. There are high requirements for execution, documentation and ability for quick delivery. The chosen tenderer must expect to cooperate with other contractors/suppliers.
All communication between the Tenderer and the Contracting Authority shall be directed to the Contracting Authority's contact person via the ‘question and answer’ function in our electronic tender system.
All questions and answers will be made accessible in anonymous form for all of the tenderers.
Enquiries received after the deadline for question will not be answered. The deadline for questions: 28.10.2015.

The tenderer must inform about which products shall be used in the particular work. Goods to be delivered shall be from an approved manufacturer and of quality that satisfies all of the requirements given in public laws and regulations about electrical equipment.
