Framework Agreement for Water Sewage and HVAC Pipe Supplies

We would like to use the procurement to enter into a framework agreement with a tenderer. The objective of the agreement is to cover the contracting authority ́s need for pipes and pipe parts within water and sewage and HVAC and sanitation.

The tenderer shall be a full assortment wholesaler of pipes and pipe fittings for use within water and sewage and HVAC and sanitation, in accordance with the requirement specifications. Comments on the contract: Plastic manholes and fittings for manholes are a part of the agreement. The contracting authority can bypass the contract with the procurement of concrete manholes.

The customer can bypass the contract for major project deliveries. This is when the products pipes and pipe parts make up a minimum of NOK 300,000, excluding VAT. The customer can bypass the contract with special orders, i.e. orders that are made, adapted or ordered according to the customer ́s specific wishes or needs.

The Customer can leave the contract if the tenderer cannot deliver within maximum delivery times in accordance with the requirement specifications. Delivery deviations from the tenderer can be regulated in accordance with the contract. The contracting authority can bypass the contract for the procurement of an entire pumping stations/pressure boosting station.

The Customer can leave the contract outside the contract where pipes and pipe fittings are only a part of the assignment where other service providers are responsible for the execution. E.g. excavation assignments, plumbing assignments, procurement of fire hydrant, establishment of emergency power generators for pressure increase stations/pumping stations etc.

The customer can leave the contract in critical situations where the customer cannot wait for parts if the tenderer does not have them at local stores/times of crisis.
