Norway – Storage units – competition Armed Forces joint framework agreement warehouse furnishings

The framework agreement shall cover the Armed Forces' needs for warehouse furnishings in a purposeful and cost-effective manner. Furnishings ordered under this framework agreement may also be used in facilities other than the Armed Forces' warehouses, such as workshops, laboratories, classrooms, archives, etc. The scope and complexity of the deliveries may vary in relation to the estimated needs and for each individual call for tenders. It shall be possible to deliver to all of the Armed Forces' locations in Norway, and the Supplier must, if necessary, be prepared to deliver to larger furnishing projects. Where the Armed Forces deem it appropriate, products may also be ordered for the Armed Forces' locations abroad. In such cases, delivery times and conditions shall otherwise be separately agreed in each individual call for tenders. The need may change during the agreement period. Historical figures shall only be considered as indicative estimates. Variations in scope over time may depend on overall political, strategic and operational decisions, or other factors. The total annual volume may therefore be both higher and lower than estimated. The Norwegian Armed Forces are not committed to a binding volume. Deviations from estimated needs do not constitute grounds for claims or negotiations. The estimated total value over the agreement period, a maximum duration of four years – incl. options, is assumed to be in the range of approx. NOK 200,000,000 - 400,000,000,- excl. VAT. The estimate is made at best judgment, and the size of the scope will depend on the Norwegian Armed Forces' activity. There is a large need for warehouse equipment, but calls for orders depend on future frameworks and budgets. The volume of future calls for orders will come from where the Client's activity is greatest, and larger deliveries in Northern Norway must be expected.
