Procedure
Title: Market dialogue: Framework agreement for groceries
Description: Troms County invites relevant tenderers to a market dialogue for planning a new framework agreement for groceries. The aim of the hearing is to identify the market ́s possibilities and recommendations as regards the county ́s needs and expectations, as well as what systems and possibilities are available to safeguard environmental considerations in an appropriate and competitive manner. At the same time, the hearing replies will help avoid cancelling the competition due to poor need coverage, or rejection of tenderers due to too stringent requirements. Troms County would like relevant tenderers' tenderers to see the attached draft of requirement specifications, qualification requirements and contract terms. Particular input is wanted regarding whether the requirements are relevant and/or if some of the requirements seem competitive, as well as the tenderer's input on, among other things, the choice of price model, the possibility of offering organic products, fresh meat and fish and local food, as well as emission-free transport. Tenderers are also invited to share all relevant experiences, proposals and assessments that can contribute to a good tender documentation and a future orientated contract. Emphasis is put on the fact that tenderers shall not fill in the attached draft of documents, but give feedback on the questions that have been formulated in the question tab. At the expiry of the hearing deadline, we will review all inputs and assess what is appropriate to include in the final documents. The inputs will be treated confidentially and not visualised for other suppliers. The Contracting Authority is not obliged to comply with the input and emphasises that the documents are to be seen as provisional drafts. Please note that Troms County does not reimburse any costs for participation in the hearing. Please note that tenderers who participate in the market dialogue can be contacted afterwards if the contracting authority needs clarification or further information. The contracting authority plans, among other things, to submit a draft of the price form for a hearing to tenderers who have registered their interest, after this round of hearing has been carried out. Tenderers are requested to give feedback if there is a need for an extended reply deadline. The contracting authority understands that this may be necessary due to ongoing holiday leave.
