The estimated annual spend managed through an agent is about NOK 25 million excluding VAT. The agreement also covers payments for knowledge resources for the Central Norway Health Authorities and may be extended to future similar services as the market evolves. Consortium-agreement resources are excluded. E-invoicing is required, and electronic ordering and payment are used. Precise qualification and exclusion requirements are not stated in the machine-readable notice and must be checked in the tender documents.
