Motor vehicles

The aim of the system is to ensure that Ringsaker municipality has access to the vehicles that may be needed at any time.  Zero-emission vehicles will mainly be in demand, but in cases where the desired needs cannot be satisfied by these, vehicles with fossil fuels will also be requested.

The purchasing system basically only applies to new vehicles, as used vehicles are generally acquired outside the system. However, it may be possible to submit tenders for used vehicles if the contracting authority deems it suitable. This will then be clearly described in the individual tender contest included in the system. A service and maintenance agreement, as well as exchange of vehicles may be relevant in the individual tender contest.

Ringsaker municipality currently has a vehicle fleet that consists of both owned and rented vehicles. The municipality's owned vehicle fleet at the time of the publication consists of approx. 20 passenger cars, 100 goods vans and 2 buses with 10 seats. The municipality's rented cars are not part of this system.

Ringsaker municipality will need ongoing replacements of the owned vehicles in accordance with the needs that arise. We expect a need to replace at least the entire vehicle fleet during the period of the system. Moreover, approx. 5 rented cars shall be replaced with purchased cars per year. However, Ringsaker municipality is not obliged to purchase a specific number of vehicles under the system, as this may be affected by changes in needs, budget and routines.

Further information is given in the procurement documentation.
