      <cbc:Name languageID="ENG">25/01335 Framework agreement for antibiotic products for resistance provision - The Norwegian Institute of Public Health</cbc:Name>
      
      <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">The framework agreement for antibiotic products for resistance provision includes the following antibiotic products, divided in four product categories: Antibiotic patches, with compatible dispensers as option Gradient strips with compatible equipment for application as an option Antibiotic powder for solutions Plates with antibiotics for broth microfortification, with compatible dispensers as optionThese products are used for manual resistance determination of bacteria, using gradient strips, disco fusion and growth in. liquid media (antibiotic solutions). In order to ensure an efficient and standardised resistance provision, there are requirements for quality, functionality and compatibility with existing laboratory equipment. The products in this agreement are decisive for monitoring antimicrobial resistance and it forms an important basis for choosing antibiotic treatment. In addition, they form the basis for clinical decisions in connection with antibiotic treatment of patients. The framework agreement ensures access to quality products with the necessary functionality and compatibility, while facilitating efficient ordering routines and stable supply. The competition will be held as an open tender contest in accordance with the Public Procurement Act and part III of the regulations. The contract will be entered into as a framework agreement with one or more tenderers per sub-area (product group), depending on the tender situation and the result of the evaluation. The tenders will be evaluated per sub-area (A-D), and the contracting authority will award a contract to the tenderer(s) that offer the best price-quality ratio for each sub-area. If a supplier gives the best value in several sub-areas in total, a framework agreement can be signed that covers them with one tenderer. If different tenderers offer the best value within different sub-areas, separate contracts will be signed per sub-area. This flexibility shall ensure a high degree of contract coverage, delivery security and cost efficiency. The final number of contracts will therefore depend on how the tenders are distributed qualitatively and price wise within each sub-area.</cbc:Description>
