The value of the contract for 4 years is estimated to be between NOK 60-90 million excluding VAT. There may be call-offs that we do not have an overview of yet. This can, among other things, be due to unforeseen mapping needs, e.g. after major or many incidents. We are therefore choosing to set up a maximum amount for the entire framework agreement of 4 years of NOK 130 million excluding VAT. Please note that the estimated value is only meant as a legal information and is not binding for the contracting authority.
