The competition will be held as an open tender contest after the public procurement regulations parts I and II, as stated in the tender documentation point 2.1.

Prosedyre
Prosedyretype
Åpen anbudskonkurranse ✅
Rettslig grunnlag: Direktiv 2014/24/EU
Hovedtrekk ved prosedyren:

The assignments are mainly carried out by our employees. However, experience shows that at times with heavy activity and/or holidays/leave, there is a need to supplement our own capacity with the procurement of external services for process assignments. A framework agreement will be signed with one lawyer company. The framework agreement includes compulsory child protection cases, but it can also be used in other disciplines for which the tenderer has competence. This means that this framework agreement can also be used in other disciplines than coercive cases within child protection. The framework agreement is not exclusive. I.e. the municipality can engage other law firms where it is deemed appropriate. Please note that the municipality already has a contract for lawyer services for contracts and public procurements. The number of assignments will depend on the work situation and the influx of cases at the municipal lawyer at all times. Assignments in accordance with the framework agreements will, on behalf of Kristiansand municipality, be administered by the district attorney.

Rettslig grunnlag:

The procurement will be made in accordance with the Public Procurement Act of 17 June 2016 (LOA) and the public procurement regulations dated 12 August 2016 (FOA) parts I and part II, Annex 2 Special Services. The contract will be awarded in accordance with the 'Open Tender Contest' procedure, cf. FOA § 8-3.
