NTNU shall enter into a joint contract for inspections of fire alarm systems, and inspections and maintenance of extinguishing installations, for NTNU ́s buildings in Trondheim. Maintenance means repairs, replacements and improvements of deviations (errors and shortcomings) on the extinguishing installations in order for them to function as intended. Maintenance is limited to troubleshooting, repairing and replacing components for systems where this is described in this agreement. The contract includes the following: · Fire alarm installations - This is where clean annual inspections of the installations are carried out. · Extinguishing system - Inspection and service agreement with the necessary maintenance. See Annex 1 Requirement Specifications and Annex 3a Price Form, for a more detailed description of the delivery and an overview of the different installations. The planned start-up for the new agreement is in the medio August. This year's checks of fire alarm systems are carried out in the first half of 2026, so that in 2026 checks remain of extinguishing installations and extinguishing centres, which shall be carried out in autumn 2026. The new contracting authority will be responsible for implementing these. The maintenance of the fire alarm systems is included in NTNU ́s framework agreements for electrical services, so that this maintenance work is not included in the framework agreement. The contract does not include major replacements or investments in new installations.

In accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9 (2), climate and environmental considerations shall as a main rule be weighted with a minimum of 30% in the award criteria. The requirement can be waived if it is clear that the requirements in the requirement specifications give a better climate - and environmental effect than the award criteria, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9 (4). The procurement primarily includes the procurement of services (inspections of fire alarms and extinguishing systems and maintenance of extinguishing installations), which are carried out in the contracting authority ́s locations. The central climate and environmental footprint of this procurement is, thus, passenger transport to and from the contracting authority ́s locations in connection with services performed. The contracting authority has assessed how the contracting authority can achieve the lowest climate and environment for the services included in this procurement, and concluded that the absolute requirement for the use of zero emission vehicles for passenger cars and small goods vans will clearly have a lower environmental impact than setting award criteria and evaluating the different types of fuel used in the service. There are also minimum requirements for products, packaging and waste management in the requirement specification. The contracting authority therefore believes that the condition for using the exemption provision in the PUBLIC Procurement Regulations § 7-9 (4) is fulfilled.
