Procedure identifier : 0c9dde58-c3d8-439c-aa0a-08c53d0101c7
Internal identifier : 24/8920
Type of procedure : Open
The procedure is accelerated : no
Justification for the accelerated procedure :
Main features of the procedure : The aim of the procurement is to enter into a framework agreement for procurement assistance, with one tenderer. Voss is implementing a number of procurements involving new buildings, operation and maintenance and goods and services, and has, in periods, a need for procurements in addition to competence and capacity that are available in the organisation. The individual assignments can vary in character and extent, but procurements will mostly be dealt with in relation to procurement assistance in small and large procurement processes, individual procurements and framework agreements. The assignment can include all areas in the organisation, and the framework agreement will host new products at different levels in the organisation. For a period, Voss herad has had a greater need for procurement assistance than what the organisation has had the capacity to cover with internal resources. The situation will continue until the procurement department is not fully staffed, and the need will be greater until the organisation has put in place new sets. The first year of the agreement period will therefore have a greater scope of procurement assistance and the volume will decrease to a stable lay-by level after this. Complete description of the delivery is in the requirement specifications. The start-up date of the framework agreement is soon after the award, but later 01.03.24.
