Framework agreement for the hire of personnel for the Government's representation facility.

Description

The objective of the framework agreement is to ensure access to qualified hired personnel as needed. The agreement shall cover the need for staffing for events, conferences, dinners and other serving assignments at the Norwegian Government's representation facility. The required assignments are of a great variety, including i.a.: covering up, serving, preparation for events, clearing along the way and afterwards (e.g. cleaning glass and cutlery, handling empty goods etc.), washing up, closure of the premises (waste handling etc.), and assistance with on-site work (e.g. cleaning silver, washing outdoor furniture, ironing flags and polishing chandeliers). Emphasis is put on the fact that the list of assignments is not exhaustive and that other equivalent assignments must, thus, be expected for each call-off. A framework agreement will be signed with one tenderer. The framework agreement period is 2 years from contract signing. The contracting authority has the right to extend the framework agreement for a further one year at a time, up to 2 times (2+1+1). The financial scope of the framework agreement is estimated to be NOK 1,000,000 excluding VAT per annum. The estimate is based on experience, but the estimate is somewhat uncertain. The estimate is not binding for the Norwegian Directorate of Foreign Affairs and will depend on the budget allocation at all times. The total maximum amount for the framework agreement will be NOK 4,000,000 excluding VAT for the entire contract period of a total of four years (including the option). The agreement is not exclusive. The contracting authority has the right, but not an obligation, to award contracts for this framework agreement. The contracting authority will not be bound to procure a specific volume during the framework agreement period. The contracting authority will award the contracts under the framework agreements in accordance with the procedures described in the framework agreement annex 2. See annex 1 of the contract for further details on the delivery.
