Norway – Construction work – Temporary framework agreements for the procurement of compound tradesman services.

Oslobygg KF needs to establish a temporary framework agreement for compound trade services. The background for the procurement is an ongoing dispute relating to the ordinary procurement of a framework agreement for compound tradesman services. As a result of the dispute, the implementation of the ordinary procurement is pending. Oslobygg has a continual and significant need for trade services connected to the operation, maintenance and development of the company's property portfolio. It is therefore necessary to ensure sufficient capacity and continuity in the service delivery until the ordinary framework agreement can be established. Based on this, Oslobygg is carrying out a temporary procurement of compound trade services. The framework agreement shall cover Oslobygg ́s temporary needs and will i.a. include service assignments, ongoing maintenance and major maintenance projects where there may be a need for coordination of several trades. The framework agreement will be valid for 9 months, with an option for Oslobygg to extend the contract for a further 3 months. The total maximum agreement period is therefore 12 months. The temporary framework agreement is intended as a transitional solution up until the situation connected to the ordinary procurement has been clarified and the new ordinary framework agreement can come into force.
