The call for tenders applies to the collection and dewatering of sewage sludge.

The contract value is estimated to be above the EEA threshold value. The need is uncertain. Previously the contracting authority has spent approx. NOK 15,000,000 excluding VAT per year. The value can be both higher and lower, and will depend on, among other things, the contracting authority's needs, activities, and other framework factors.

The contracting authority has chosen a longer time frame for the agreement due to the competitive situation and investment costs for the supplier part.
