Norway - Road transport services - Joint transport procurement - Vest-Viken and Øst-Viken

The agreement shall apply to transporting and collecting (returns) of technical aids to a fixed reception/pick-up place in each of Vest-Viken's 20 municipalities. The need concerns transport of technical aids such as beds/accessories, manual and electric wheelchairs, rolling walkers, reading TV, scooters, bicycles, as well as small aids.

Several of the aids have assembled lead or lithium-ion batteries. The sizes of batteries vary from car batteries to small watch batteries. Some aids will weigh up to approx. 180 kg (beds/wheelchairs). Beds are most often delivered in a transport position measuring 135 cm x 80 cm, but can also be delivered on pallets up to 5 in height, measuring 100 cm x 200 cm x 200 cm (600 kg). Electrical wheelchairs have measurements of up to 80 cm x 160 cm. Tandems can be large in volume and can take up to three (3) podiums. Minor aids are to be put in transport cages that have the following aims; 120 cm x 80 cm x 173 cm. There is a need for a minimum of two vehicles to be able to carry out the transport services on a scheduled route and schedule.
