About this tender
Arendal kommune is procuring a framework agreement (rammeavtale) for the supply of crushed rock and aggregates (steinmasser) to its projects, operations and maintenance activities. The supply covers materials such as crushed stone (pukk), gravel (grus) and sand fractions, delivered free loaded on truck (fritt opplastet på bil). The agreement is intended to serve needs across all of the municipality's activities, including ordinary demand and urgent requests for quick access to materials. The scope also includes handling of clean rock masses from the municipality's own construction sites, including receiving, sorting and crushing for reuse where relevant, and receiving reclaimed asphalt (asfaltflak) for reuse where technically and practically suitable. The municipality wants a robust supply solution with clear requirements for product quality, documentation, traceability and call-off arrangements. The framework runs from 19.12.2026 to 18.12.2028 (about 47 months), with two optional one-year extensions (2+1+1). The municipality will enter parallel agreements with two or more suppliers if enough qualified bids are received, with a maximum of 5 participants and reopening of competition at call-off. Call-offs go to the supplier with the shortest road transport distance between the stated production facility and the delivery point, measured by Google Maps; distances differing by less than 5 km are treated as approximately equal, and the higher-ranked supplier is then used. The municipality guarantees no minimum volume to any supplier. The estimated value is NOK 10,000,000 excluding VAT.
Bidder eligibility
The notice does not list specific eligibility thresholds (registrations, certifications, references or financial standing) in the extracted text; it refers to the tender documents on the Hyyr platform for these. The procedure is open with no prequalification phase. Bidders must meet the grounds for exclusion and selection criteria set out in the procurement documents. Suppliers must be able to meet the product quality and traceability requirements (including the VA-norm referenced in the award criteria) and must state the production facility used for distance calculations.
How bids are scored
Award is based on a 50% quality and 50% price split, using these weightings: Delivery security and capacity (20%); Quality, documentation and traceability (10%); Environment and reuse, covering the handling, sorting and crushing of clean rock and handling of reclaimed asphalt (20%); Price (50%). A separate climate and environment criterion is listed with a weight of 0%, as it is described as a requirement within the specification (traceability, origin, and shortest transport distance). Price evaluation requires all price-schedule lines to be completed; if a line is missing or a product cannot be offered, the highest price among suppliers plus 15% will be applied. Option pricing for receiving masses from the municipality is excluded from evaluation. Volumes in the price schedule are indicative only and not binding.
