Framework agreement with a tenderer for the procurement of workwear, protective clothing, protective equipment, and first aid equipment. The contract includes workwear, protective clothing, footwear, and protective equipment for technical services, building and construction, cleaning, schools, and nurseries, etc.
The procurement will cover the contracting authority's need for such products and we would like tenderers who can offer a broad selection of the requested product categories.
Bergen Municipality and collaboration partners (hereafter called the Contracting Authorities), will, through a framework agreement with a tenderer (hereafter called the Supplier), ensure the supply of workwear, footwear, protective clothing, and protective equipment for technical services, building and construction, work on roads, cleaning, schools, and nurseries, etc.
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 municipality is organised with approx. 840 units, approx. 2 400 delivery addresses, including among other things schools, nursery schools, nursing homes, cultural institutions and administration. Also included are municipal and inter-municipal companies that are partly or fully owned entities and considered part of the Bergen kommune group.
A procurement collaboration with multiple municipalities, as well as inter-municipal companies, with Bergen municipality as the host municipality, are established and this tender competition will therefore apply for multiple entities in addition to NK.
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. Anticipated commencement is October 2021.
Through the procurements, the contracting authority wants to contribute to safeguarding environmental considerations and ensuring social and ethical standards. There, there is a number of environmental requirements and criteria in this competition.
