Norway – Control, safety or signalling equipment for roads – Framework agreement for control devices for signal systems.

The Agency for Urban Environment is responsible for Oslo municipality ́s 324 signal installations on the municipal road network, including safeguarding traffic safety and accessibility. To ensure operational safety on the municipal road network, there is a regular need to replace the current or damaged equipment for the different signal installations as well as the installation of new control devices in connection with the establishment of new traffic lights. The control apparatus shall be replaced and established in the signal installations in Oslo over a period of four years from and including 2026. The control devices are the "brain" in the traffic light signal installations that control how the distribution of light colours functions. It is anticipated that the need to maintain high operational security on the municipal road network in Oslo is replacing and establishing approx. 20 new control apparatuses per annum and approx. 80 control apparatuses over four years. Primarily it is a replacement of existing apparatuses older than 12-15 years, as these are more frequently causing errors. The contract is subject to annual and total replacements based on actual need as well as grants for these. Most of the annual delivery is expected in the summer (April - October) each year in the contract period. The delivery includes delivery, installation, programming and commissioning of the control devices, as well as disassembly and transport of the old control devices to the designated location. This framework agreement is valid for up to a maximum value of NOK 20,000,000 excluding VAT. The framework does not involve any obligation for the Contracting Authority to use the stated sum.
