Background Arendal municipality shall establish a new framework agreement for painting services and painting products for use in municipal buildings and properties. The contract shall primarily cover the needs of Arendal Eiendom, and it shall also be used by Arendal Church Council and the Arendal Harbour. The procurement will be carried out as the existing contract expires and as the municipality needs a more appropriate contract structure that separates the executing services and procurements of goods for work under it's own auspices. The aim is to ensure good need coverage, predictable access to capacity, efficient ordering and better follow-up of procurements and assignments. The municipality has a continual need for painting, equipment and consumables, as well as painting, wallpapering and floor laying services in connection with maintenance, upgrading and minor renovation works. The need varies between the entities and over time, and it is therefore important to have a framework agreement that provides flexibility, quick response and good delivery security. At the same time, the municipality would like a system that supports a clear interface between assignments that are carried out by an external supplier and products that are purchased for the municipality ́s own use. This shall contribute to more uniform practice, better cost control and simple contract follow-up. Description of the assignment The procurement is for a framework agreement for painting services and painting products for Arendal municipality and associated entities. The framework agreement includes both the procurement of services and the procurement of goods for use in the municipality's ongoing operation and maintenance. The assignment is divided into two sub-contracts. Sub-contract 1 includes painting, wallpapering and floor laying services, including necessary materials and equipment included in the execution of the assignment. Sub-contract 2 includes paint, put-offs, consumables and the accompanying equipment for the municipality ́s own use for work under its own auspices. The service part shall cover both internal and external work, and will mainly include maintenance, minor upgrades and renovation work in municipal purpose-built buildings. The product part shall cover the standard need for paint products and the accompanying equipment for use in the municipality ́s own work assignments. A delivery is requested that gives the municipality access to relevant professional competence, the necessary capacity and suitable products within the contract ́s extent. The framework agreement shall facilitate a practical and clear ordering model, so that both service assignments and goods procurements can be carried out in an efficient and predictable way. services 30000000 50000000 45442180 45442100 45442190 45432130 45432111 45432210 45432100 45432000 45430000 45453100 45432200 45450000 45000000 45442110 44800000 44810000 44820000 44830000 44812400 The assignments shall mainly be carried out in Arendal municipality ́s buildings, properties and other locations within the municipality ́s geographical area.

The procurement shall ensure simple and predictable access to goods and trade services in connection with operation and maintenance, minor upgrades and some renovation works in municipal buildings and properties. The assignments will mainly be minor internal works, but the framework agreement shall also be able to be used for external and more comprehensive assignments. The need and extent will vary throughout the contract period. Sub-contracts The framework agreement is divided into the following sub-contracts: Sub-contract 1: Painting, wallpapering and floor laying services. Sub-contract 2: Painting products and accompanying equipment for work that the contracting authority carries out under its own auspices. Tenderers can submit tenders for one or both lots. Sub-contract 1: Painting, wallpapering and floor laying services The lot is for internal and external painting work, wall-papering, floor laying and the accompanying work in connection with maintenance, upgrading and renovation of municipal buildings and properties. The assignments will vary in size and complexity and shall mainly be carried out at the contracting authorities ́locations in Arendal municipality. The tenderer shall as a main rule carry out the assignments with their own employees and procure the necessary materials and equipment.

The contracting authority can apply for urgent assignments to the highest ranked tenderer who can comply with the response time requirement. If several tenderers can comply with the requirement, the regular ranking will be followed. Mini competitions can be implemented with assignments for more than NOK 200,000 excluding VAT. For assignments with an estimated value of NOK 500,000 excluding VAT or more, mini-competitions shall be held between the framework agreement suppliers. The contracting authority can also hold mini-competitions under this value if the assignment ́s nature or complexity warrants it. In mini competitions, the assignment can be awarded on the basis of price, assignment comprehension and implementation, progress and delivery time, the offered key personnel ́ competence and experience, as well as climate and environmental considerations. The contracting authority will choose which of the criteria are relevant for each assignment. The award criteria, weighting, price format and documentation requirements will be in each enquiry.
