The Norwegian Customs invites tenderers to an open tender contest with the intention of entering into a framework agreement for the purchase of lawyer services. The framework agreement for lawyer services is divided into three sub-areas (sub-contracts), where the aim is to enter into a contract with one tenderer per sub-area. As a starting point, internal lawyers are used for legal issues, but at times the agency needs consultancy, quality assurance or specialist competence within the stated sub-areas below. Participation in negotiations and meetings, as well as assistance within dispute resolution and procedure can also be relevant within the requested sub-areas. The objective of the framework agreement is, therefore, to ensure the Norwegian Customs effective access to qualitatively good lawyer services as needed, in an efficient manner and on competitive terms. The sub areas are as follows: Sub area 1: Labour law and pensions. Sub area 2: Business Lawyer Areas Sub area 3: Public law areas Tenders can be submitted for one or several sub areas. Each sub area constitutes a competition and it will be evaluated independently of the other sub-areas. If a tender is submitted for several sub-areas, it is a prerequisite that the tenderer fulfils the qualification and award criteria requirements for each sub area.
