Norway – Judicial services – Legal services for public procurements and contracts, framework agreement.

The competition is for the provision of legal services connected to public procurements and contracts. The procurement includes both oral and written legal assistance. It is important to note that public procurements are not about the execution of public procurements, but various legal services connected to the discipline. The procurement ́s value is estimated to: NOK 500,000 - NOK 1,500,000 excluding VAT per annum. The maximum value for the entire contract period, including any options and expected price rise: NOK 12,500,000 excluding VAT. The need is uncertain. The volume can vary both up and down and the contract period will depend on, among other things, the contracting authority ́s needs, activities, budgetary situations and other framework factors. This procurement is considered to have an immaterial impact on climate and environment, cf. the Regulations §7-9, fifth paragraph. The justification for this is that the procurement concerns consultancy services/consultancy services where the contracting authority is unable to influence climate and environmental impact, as the requirements and criteria that are directed at these elements will not have sufficient connection to the delivery. Cf. DFØ ́s environment supervisor. See the procurement documents for further information.
