On behalf of Client, KA (Kirkelig arbeidsgiver- og interesseorganisasjon), COWI hereby invite laboratories to bid on carrying out a series of fire tests to verify performance of current, modified and new fire control systems for exterior and interior protection of, primarily but not limited to, 19th century churches in Norway. These tests cover water based systems for suppression or extinguishing.
The specification for this procurement contest is based on a previous investigation on the potential of modifying or designing new fire control systems to fit needs of this category of church buildings. Procurement procedure is ‘competitive dialogue’ as of EU ruling August 2016: Negotiations shall be held with each tenderer prior to price bids.
