Framework agreement for the purchase of barrier machines.

OBRE needs to establish a framework agreement for the procurement of barrier machines that shall be used after fire and rescue efforts. The objective of the procurement is to ensure efficient and safe handling of polluted clothing and equipment. The requirement for a barrier machine is that it shall contribute to our fulfilment of the requirements from the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority in accordance with the Requirements for physical working environment in fire stations. The procurement is divided into two sub-contracts: Part A – Barrier machines for textiles: Machines adapted to washing and processing clothing used during commitment. Part B – Barrier machines for equipment: Machines adapted to cleaning and treatment of other operative equipment. A tenderer can submit tenders for one or both lots. It is, therefore, possible that one supplier is awarded both parts, or that two different suppliers are awarded a separate part. The framework agreement will be valid for 2 years, with an option for a further 2+2 years. The estimated value of the contract is NOK 3,000,000 excluding VAT during the entire contract period.
