Norway – Gravel, sand, crushed stone and aggregates – Parallel framework agreements for the purchase of crushed stone masses

VAV needs different rocks to fill buried ditches when excavating leaks in the pipe network and new pipes at installations. VAV has a continual need for large quantities of crushed rock masses for this work. The agency will therefore enter into parallel framework agreements with several tenderers so that the agency ́s needs are fully covered. VAV will enter into parallel framework agreements with up to 4 (four) tenderers in Part 2 and Part 2, depending on how many tenders are received. The agency has an increasing need for crushed rock masses. The maximum value of the framework agreements (Part 1 and Part 2) is NOK 40,000,000 excluding VAT for the entire contract period, including options. The estimate was made based on historical figures and the expected future use in accordance with the Contracting Authority's best judgement. The specific call-offs depend on the department ́s changing need in the contract period. Emphasis is put on the fact that the contract does not carry any purchasing obligation for VAV. See Annex 1 Requirement Specifications and Annex 3 Price Form for further details.
