Prequalification Framework agreement - O-rings, sealing and gaskets for use by the Navy's vessels.

The contracting authority intends to enter into a framework agreement with a minimum of 1 and maximum of 2 tenderers, who shall cover the Norwegian Armed Forces need for O-rings, sealing and gaskets for use in maritime material. The equipment will mainly be procured for the Navy's vessels. The framework agreement will also include up to 50 hours annual consultancy and technical support. These hours shall be incorporated in the offered prices. The framework agreement will not include O-rings, sealing and gaskets where the Contracting Authority has an exclusive agreement with a system supplier. The tenderer is, as a main rule, obliged to deliver original o-rings, seals and gaskets in accordance with the original manufacturer and the original manufacturer ́s part number. Where it is not possible due to true manufacturer no longer exists/the material is expired etc., the supplier can manufacture the material. Articles that naturally come under the framework agreement ́s scope shall, if needed, be included in the contract extent if the contracting authority so desires. The same applies to replacement products and other products that naturally belong with what the contract covers.
