Framework agreement technical and medical gases, special gases

The contracting authority would like to enter into a framework agreement with a tenderer for the delivery of technical and medical gases as well as special gases. The contracting authority uses various gases for many different purposes, e.g. for fixed installations/installations and equipment, and for concrete research projects where it can vary the type of gas it needs. It is of decisive importance with stable and punctual delivery in order to avoid major practical consequences and economic loss. With this procurement, the University wants to ensure stable access to gases and associated installations at efficient prices.

The total costs will be evaluated based on the following, in prioritised order: Total price gas mandatory product Total price gas non-obligatory product Total price liquid nitrogen Rental costs Additional cost for rush orders Freight cost of small individual orders Training costs (price of what is offered in addition to the included training) Pressure testing of owning bottles Estimated replacement cost The comparison of unit prices will be done on a total cost level. The estimated consumption will form the basis for the calculation of the total price and hire costs. Other prices are compared directly. The evaluation of the price for training will only be done when comparing the price on some specified courses, cf. Annex 3b tab "Prices training". The estimated consumption will form the basis for the calculation of the total price. Within this award criteria, the most emphasis will be on the total price of gas and the total price of liquid nitrogen.

The procurement includes standardised industrial gases (technical and medical gases as well as special gases) delivered by major international actors. The gases shall be delivered in hire bottles and in boxes (dry ice), as well as for filling in UiB ́s own bottles and cryo containers. The gases are produced at major production plants and special gas laboratories in Europe (Germany and Italy), and are then transported to Norway for storage, filling and distribution. The deliveries shall be made to one of several locations at UiB. The nature of the procurement is identified as a goods delivery of gases with a significant service element connected to filling and distribution. Total climate footprint and environmental impact: - Production emissions connected to energy consumption etc. Emissions from transport - Waste (bottles, equipment) How can we reduce the climate footprint and environmental impact of the procurement? - Measures concerning emissions from production (e.g. requirements for energy sources, certified environmental management). - Measures concerning emissions from transport (requirements for low emission vehicles). - Return scheme for bottles and dry ice containers - Membership in Grønt Punkt or equivalent is required. The minimum requirements are estimated to have a better effect than the award criteria. The procurement concerns standardized industrial gases where the products ́ technical qualities, quality, purity degree, security requirements and security of supplies are decisive for fulfilment of UiB ́s needs. This gives a limited room to differentiate the tenders through the products ́ climate and environmental properties. The service is built up which is a rental scheme where the tenderer is obliged to be responsible for ensuring the continuing quality of bottles and containers. It is therefore the actual structure of the service that ensures a long lifetime of bottles and containers, and separate requirements and criteria for lifetime are not suitable. When it comes to transport of the products, there are technical and safety limitations on the choice of means of transport, but there can be requirements for emissions and how the transport is organized. There are also requirements for a recycling scheme for both bottles and packaging. In order to ensure efficacy, these are set as minimum requirements rather than evaluation requirements.
