Kort beskrivelse

Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold counties need a framework agreement for road technical laboratory and field surveys that shall contribute to quality assurance of material used in the Contracting Authority's road related projects. Mainly this concerns surveys of asphalt, concrete, stone, light masses, fibre cloth, reinforcement, deflection measurements, georadar and excavation samples. There will also be a need for sample taking in the field.

Beskrivelse av anskaffelsen

Tilleggsinformasjon

The agreement only comprises consultancy and analysis services, which are services that have immaterial climate footprint and environmental impact, as the main service is the consultant ́s work efforts that result in digital reports/documents.

In order to map the climate footprint and other forms of environmental impact from the nature of consultancy services, Anska anticipates that a consultant ́s climate footprint and environmental impact will be equal to the load from an average permanent employee. This will be the employee ́s need for office space and equipment, the energy consumption in the building, travel activities for work, and waste generation that contributes to the employee ́s climate footprint and environmental impact.

Anska considers, however, that none of the above elements fall within the nature of the procurement, which is an analysis service. All analyses and field surveys shall follow SSV ́s hand books, including specific NS-EN standards. This means that there is little room for supplier specific and assignment related environmental and climate measures. Contact with the market shows that transport is a very small part of the scope of the agreement. The elements that are related to the species result in, in our opinion, an immaterial climate footprint and an immaterial environmental impact.

Based on its assessment, Anska will use the exclusion provisions in the procurement regulations § 7-9 fifth paragraph, as the procurement is justified by nature to have a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial. Anska is therefore exempt from the obligations to weight the environment 30% or to prioritise the environment among the three highest prioritised award criteria.
