Framework agreement – Trade services

The contracting authority needs to enter into framework agreements for trade services.

The procurement concerns framework agreements for the following disciplines:

1. Joinery services (construction work)
2. Electrician services, including inspections of fire alarm systems.
3. Heat pumps and cooling installations.
4. Roofing and flashing and guttering services
5. Painting and floor laying services

The contents of the procurement are trade services that shall be used in both the operations and investment budgets. The framework agreements include repairs, maintenance, reconstructions and new buildings.

The size of the assignments within the above mentioned disciplines can vary in extent.
The work assignments can be for a short or long time. There can be individual assignments or several connected assignments.

There will, however, also be the delivery of some material, as in many cases it will be appropriate that the tenderer has the material necessary for the execution of the assignment in question. Although the procurement comprises some material, emphasis is put on the fact that this contract does not give any exclusiveness on the delivery of such material, and that the Contracting Authority is not otherwise obliged to procure materials from the service provider.

The contracting authority reserves the right not to use the framework agreement supplier for major work on construction projects and/or special assignments if the contract supplier is unable to meet the contracting authority ́s needs. As major work, individual assignments with a cost framework will be seen as NOK 100,000 excluding VAT and in the case where the total assignment includes several sub-contracts. Farsund municipality reserves the right to use special competence for some deliveries if this has clear advantages. The contracting authority ́s self-management work will take precedence over external suppliers.

Parts of the work can take place in cooperation with the builder's own personnel.
