Government Agreement for Purchasing Office Supplies

This procurement opportunity aims to establish a new government agreement for purchasing consumables, specifically office and computing machinery, equipment, and supplies (excluding furniture and software). The Statens innkjøpssenter, with its extensive experience and data from previous contracts, will leverage this knowledge to enhance the procurement process. The contract focuses on achieving significant benefits, including a reduced climate footprint from deliveries and access to sustainable products. It will also provide essential information on the climate impact of procurements, aligning with the climate targets set by various contracting authorities. Climate reporting will be implemented during the contract period to support these goals and comply with the Environmental Information Act. Additionally, the agreement aims to ensure competitive pricing, high-quality products, and traceability in the supply chain, while promoting responsible production practices and adherence to human rights and decent working conditions. The increased use of e-commerce is expected to improve procurement efficiency and lower transaction costs. Suppliers are required to facilitate necessary follow-up and reporting as part of the agreement.
