The procurement concerns entering into framework agreement for the purchase of temporary employees for the Health and welfare sector in order to cover the Contracting Authority's extraordinary need for nurses, nursing assistants/carers/healthcare workers and doctors secretaries. Both individual assignments and longer assignments, for example during holiday leave and leave of absence, as necessary.
The framework agreement has a duration of 2 years. The Contracting Authority has the option to extend the contract subject to verbatim terms, by up to 1+1 years, so that the total possible length of the agreement is 4 years. Any extension of the contract must be triggered at least 2 months before expiration of the agreement.
There is large uncertainty connected to the need for purchase of temporary employees, dependant on the general work market and the municipality's possibility to use their own personnel, but it is anticipated that the annual use of temporary employee services will be between 500 000 and 1 500 000 NOK. The scope of the service purchase, such as is estimated in Annex 3 to the tender documentation (price form), does not involve any purchasing obligation for the Contracting Authority, if access to their own temporary employees is better than expected. Aure kommune works in parallel to recruit their own temporary employees and permanent employees.
The tenderer is obliged to follow the at any given time valid tariff agreement, local wage setting, as well as the stipulations in the Temporary Agency Work Directive valid from 1.1.2013, so that temporary employees are ensured the same wages as an individual would have as an employee of Aure kommune.
