Details

Background The Port of Bergen needs to establish a new framework agreement for winter maintenance in a limited port area. Winter preparedness is necessary to ensure safe access and safe operation in the port area throughout the winter season. The area includes traffic and operational critical areas where weather and driving conditions can change quickly, and where measures can be implemented at short notice. The procurement shall facilitate clear interaction, effective handling of events connected to snow and ice, as well as ongoing coordination between the parties. Description of the assignment The assignment is for the provision of winter maintenance services in a limited area under the Bergen Port ́s area of responsibility. The service shall support safe and appropriate accessibility in the winter season and it will be controlled through a zone/route division with the accompanying level of execution, cf. annex 1a. Tenderers are expected to be able to clear several areas simultaneously as needed under heavy precipitation conditions. The delivery mainly includes snow clearing, snow shovelling and measures against slippery lead, including salting and/or gritting. If needed, the tenderer shall also be able to handle the removal of snow when local storage possibilities are inadequate. The assignment includes winter stand-by with a duty scheme and an option for emergency responses to events, so that the necessary measures can be carried out in connection with varying weather and driving conditions. The framework agreement shall support efficient interaction between the parties, including notification, ongoing coordination, simple documentation and reporting connected to completed assignments as a basis for follow-up and control. The Port of Bergen would like a pro-active supplier.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
