Norway - Radio and television services - NRK 2026 - 376 Framework agreement for the hire of support for OB production, technical programme equipment and services.

Norsk rikskringkasting (hereafter called NRK) invites tenderers to an open tender contest for new framework agreements for the hire of production resources for OB production, on-site and centralised. NRK is interested in proposals for new solutions and considers the requested packages in Annex 1 as the most frequently needed packages. The value of the contract has varied up until now and is expected to continue as follows (from NOK 5-20 million per annum). The way NRK produces is constantly being developed and our ability to deliver on our social mission is dependent on the hire of these types of services. Although NRK here estimates volumes, we can neither decide nor commit to a specific volume, neither for the individual area nor for the total extent. It is important to note that NRK's need for OB production varies depending on the production contracts we make and the rights we acquire, technological development and supplementary needs in the contract period. NRK reserves the right to outsource major projects if these deviate from normal use of the contract. On-site production: Involves traditional OB production (or pure equipment hire as a supplement) where all equipment and personnel are assembled at the location. Comprises capacity packages from small (8+ cameras) up to "largest" (30+ cameras, which only applies to this category). The packages for on-site production shall as a standard include at least one EIC (Engineered in Charge).; Centralised production: Involves production divided between an outside unit with equipment and personnel at the location, combined with a centralised control room in Oslo. Requires expanded documentation on the outdoor part, system set up for signal contribution, control room and sound concept.
