Procedure
Title: Framework agreement for the procurement of food and beverage gases.
Description: The procurement concerns a framework agreement for the procurement of food and beverage gas for Lillestrøm municipality, Nittedal municipality and Aurskog-Høland municipality (hereafter collectively referred to as the contracting authority). The agreement shall cover the contracting authority ́s ongoing need for industrial gas, including delivery, hire of gas cylinders and service and inspection of gas installations. Lillestrøm municipality signs and manages the contract on behalf of the participating municipalities. The estimated total procurement over four years for all three participants is estimated to approx. NOK 2,080,000,-. The contracting authority informs that Nittedal and Aurskog-Høland municipalities are new areas in the contract and that there are, therefore, no previous experience from consumption, but that the need is expected to increase. Volume indications are only a guideline and do not obligate the contracting authority. In order to take into account KPI adjustments, great uncertainty concerning the stated estimate and changed needs, the maximum extent of this agreement is set to: NOK 3,948,000,-. The procurement will be made in accordance with the Public Procurement Act dated 17.06.2016 no. 73 and the public procurement regulations dated 12.08.2016 no. 974, part I and III, as well as the provisions stated in this tender documentation.
