   <cbc:Name languageID="ENG">Framework agreement for mechanical maintenance and pipe work.</cbc:Name>
   <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">Veas has a continual need for mechanical services, industrial plumbing and other relevant maintenance work connected to the operation and upgrading of equipment and treatment plant at Veas. Veas would like to use a new final dewatering facility at the start of 2027, and the extent of the mechanical services connected to the start-up and operation of this part of the treatment plant is uncertain.

The contracting authority needs parallel framework agreements with up to 3 tenderers within mechanical maintenance and pipe work. The framework agreement period is 4 years and the estimated value is NOK 60 million.

The contracting authority requires a prioritised customer and that work as needed shall start within 48 hours on weekdays.

The tender deadline is shortened to 10 days by use of a prior information notice in accordance with the procurement regulations (FOA) § 20-3 fourth paragraph. The prior information notice was published on Doffin/TED 22.06.26.</cbc:Description>
