16.08 flights

SKI, a central purchasing body, puts up for tender a framework agreement for the purchase of air journeys for passenger transport. The tender is conducted as an open procedure. An air journey is defined as a return flight between two destinations. The tender comprises a total of 548 routes, each put up for tender as separate lots. Each lot is evaluated, awarded and contract-managed individually. For administrative purposes, however, SKI has decided to publish the material for the tendered routes under one overall framework agreement, as the contract documents are identical for all the routes, subject to limited route-specific variations set out in Appendix B. Likewise, an overall tender document (bill of quantities) has been prepared, in which the tenderer can submit tender for the routes (lots) desired by the tenderer. The framework agreement is mandatory for state authorities and optional for SKI’s other customer segments. The customers entitled to use the framework agreement are specified in Appendix A and Appendix A.1.
