Norway - Surveying services - R01701 Land surveying services and GIS services

Regarding the achievement: The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency needs support for various assignments within surveying services as well as the processing of geographical information connected to the construction projects at the defence bases in Norway.Amongst the construction projects are infrastructure, hangars, quarters and other buildings. The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency will need continuous imports into The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency's digital systems in the contract period. The assignments will be to receive ground from the contractors, the control volume for submitting to the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency ́s map database, implementation of the necessary surveying on behalf of the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency, etc. Surveying using drone flying is likely to be relevant as well. From the start of the framework agreement there will already be a need for the presence of surveyors over time at the air stations at Evenes, Ørland and Værnes.Locations with particular priority when sufficient capacity is requested from tenderers are Bardufoss, Andenes, Evenes, Ørlandet/Værnes, and Rygge.During the execution of the contract, the consultant can have access to screening information or objects in accordance with the Security Act. Persons who shall have access to the security cleared information must be security cleared before they can be qualified for screened, secret information. The framework agreement shall be signed with 1 (one) tenderer. The framework agreement shall cover the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency ́s need for land surveying services nationwide. The framework agreement will be valid for 2 years, with an option for an extension for up to 1 (one) year at a time, up to 5 (five) times, maximum duration of 7 (seven) years. Based on previous procurements and current needs, the framework agreement ́s estimated value, including all options, is NOK 100,000,000 excluding VAT. Due to considerable uncertainty connected to defence political processes during the framework agreement period, the maximum value of the framework agreement, including all options, is NOK 200,000,000 excluding VAT. The framework agreement will not be exclusive. The contracting authority reserves the right to enter into contracts with other tenderers, where the Contracting Authority deems this appropriate. Tender management: The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency invites tenderers to submit an application for prequalification for a competition with negotiations (two stage procedures). The competition will be held in two stages. Tenderers who would like to participate in the competition must first submit a request to participate in the competition by the deadline stated in Mercell. Tenderers shall submit the requested information and documentation in accordance with point 11 in the document "Qualification Documentation (FOSA over EEA)". As this is a two stage procedure, a complete tender shall not be submitted for this stage in the competition. The tender documentation is attached. All qualification applications must be submitted electronically via the Mercell portal, www.mercell.no by the deadline for submission. It is recommended that the qualification application is delivered well before the deadline expires. If a tenderer would like to change the submitted qualification application, this can be done by opening the qualification application, making any changes and re-submitting it until the deadline expires. The last submitted qualification application is regarded as the final qualification application. Tenderers shall fill in the electronic self-declaration form (ESPD), which is incorporated as a part of the process when submission in Mercell. The Norwegian Defence Estates Agency draws attention to the fact that ESPD shall be delivered in certain cases from cooperating suppliers and from sub-suppliers. If it is stated in the tender documentation that the qualification requirements shall be documented (e.g. reference projects), the documentation must be uploaded in Mercell in a separate annex.
