2015/7103 Framework agreement for clothing for all of DSB's activities

Direktoratet for Samfunnssikkerhet og Beredskap (DSB) (The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection)

DSB, hereinafter called the Contracting Authority, hereby invites tenderers to participate in this competitive tender procedure for a framework agreement.
The aim of the contract is to cover the Contracting Authority's need for clothing for the entire entity. The contract is for equipment for the Civil Defence (with the exception of uniforms), Norwegian Support Team, the Norwegian Firefighting School and other profile clothing for the entity.
Tenders can be submitted for all or parts of the stated assortment in the specifications. Tenderers shall state which products are included in the submitted tender in Annex 1.
Tenders can also be submitted for one or more alternative products, each product must fulfil the requirements stated in the specifications. The response in Annex 1 must clearly state if more than one alternative to the requested article is offered and all the alternatives must be described/documented/priced in the specifications.
The contracting authority reserves the right to enter into a contract with the number of suppliers that, after a total assessment, are necessary to cover the total existing need for clothing and with the number of suppliers that, after a total assessment, are the economically most advantageous. If a contract is signed with several suppliers, the award of contract letter will include which products are included in the contract with each supplier. The contract will, thus, be exclusive for a concrete number of products for each supplier that is awarded a contract.
Call-offs on the signed contracts will depend on the existing need and available budget at any one time. It is, thus, not possible to state or be bound by a more specific extent of the call-offs in the contract period.
The contract will come into force at the earliest 18.11.2015, or at a later date if it is signed at a later date. The contract will be signed for a period of 2+2+2+2 years. The contract will be automatically extended if written notice is not given three — 3 - months before the current contract period expires.
Particular attention is drawn to the tender documentation point 4.2 the tender conference as well as the requirements stated in point 4.5. on the delivery of sample products that shall be used for evaluating the tender.
The tender must be formulated in Norwegian and comprise:
— a dated and signed/electronically signed tender letter,
— any reservations,
— the tenderer's name, address, contact person, telephone number and email address as well as a short company presentation,
— completed Annex 1 with a statement of which products are included in the submitted tender,
— completed Annex 2 specifications including the required documentation and prices,
— sample products in accordance with point 4.5
Emphasis is put on the fact that the tenderer will carry the risk of deviations, shortcomings and uncertainties in their tender and that deviations, shortcomings and uncertanties can lead to the tender being rejected, cf. FOA §§ 20-13 or 20-14.
The contracting authority encourages tenderers to familiarise themselves with the contents of the competition and contract documentation before submitting a tender. If the documentation is unclear or incomplete, tenderers are encouraged to contact the Contracting Authority in good time before the tender deadline expires.
NB: Due to staff holidays, questions in this competition will not be answered before week 31 at the earliest.
Re. the annex: We have some files on the logos etc. in .eps format, which cannot be uploaded in Mercell. Tenderers are therefore asked to request that these are sent to their personal email address.
