Summary
Machine-generated summary
Kristiansand municipality in Norway is preparing to introduce free user choice in home nursing care and is holding another market dialogue, continuing earlier rounds held in spring 2025 and March 2026. The buyer is Kristiansand municipality. The municipality shares information on the planned tender, including the price model, and invites potential suppliers, including new entrants, to give written input. Feedback must be submitted by 29 June 2026 at 16:00. Guidelines will be treated politically in autumn 2026, and many decisions remain open, so the final tender documentation is still uncertain. This is a pre-procurement dialogue, not a call for tenders.

Description
Kristiansand municipality is working for the implementation of free user choice in home nursing care. The municipality has had dialogue with the market for several rounds, the first time in spring 2025 when it was to be assessed whether free user choices should be introduced. The city council decided 24.09.2025 that work should be initiated with the implementation of free user choices in home nursing care. A market dialogue was held in March 2026, in which potential tenderers received information about the process, where the municipality asked a number of questions to the market. The market dialogue was held with a digital meeting, an option for one-to-one meetings and an opportunity to provide written input. There were several potential suppliers who were engaged in the market dialogue in addition to NHO, and the municipality received valuable input for the work. The municipal administration has subsequently worked on preparing the tender documentation and a case that will be subject to political treatment in autumn 2026. There are still many decisions to be made, both administratively and politically, so there is still some uncertainty as to how the tender documentation will be. This means that there is also room for the market to provide input on the work, and elements that the administration should consider in the further work. Kristiansand municipality emphasises that they are open. In order to ensure good input from potential suppliers, we share as much information as possible at this stage, even if some conditions are still unresolved. This market dialogue represents a continuation of the already completed market dialogues with some more concrete questions related to the price model, etc., whereupon it is also possible for new suppliers to provide input for the implementation of the competition. The deadline for submitting feedback is 29 June 2026 at 16:00. The case for guidelines that are relevant for the competition shall be for political treatment just over the summer. Based on this, the municipality needs to get any input from tenderers by the end of the current month, so that the municipality can have time to decide on the tenderers ́ input that is relevant for the relevant case. Input is to be sent at the e-mail address: Thomas.Tverbakk.Bjorgve@kristiansand.kommune.no Note that Kristiansand municipality is not obliged to follow input that comes in during the competition. Any costs that tenderers have in connection with this market survey will not be covered by the municipality. See the annex to the market dialogue for further information.
