This competition is for the procurement of an inverted microscope that can run routine analyses of cultivated cells. This particularly applies to automatic counting of cells, the proportion of dead cells and morphological changes of cells. An inverted microscope is therefore necessary. There will be many users of the instrument, with different uses and expertise. It is important that the user interface is educational and that the system has KI functions that facilitate the analyses. It is also important that larger objects such as fish larvae (up to 2.5 cm) can be analysed, as well as histological slides. Therefore, we need to have connectivity options to the extra colour camera. We plan to replace the current confocal scanner for use on this instrument at a later date.

The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research intends to procure the following equipment and services: Profiling acoustic current meters, delivery of three (3) profiling acoustic current meters, with an option for a further three (3) instruments. The total number of instruments can therefore be up to six (6). Frame or buoy for each instrument Equipment shall be constructed for assembly in-line at the mooring down to a depth of 3,000 meters. Secure work load (SWL) shall be minimum 2,000 kg. Software for set-up, deployment and (pre-) processing of data.

This procurement includes: • 3 profiling acoustic current meter with an option to add three more instruments. The quantity of instruments can therefore be a total of 6 instruments • Frame or buoy for each instrument, designed to be attached in-line at the mooring at up to 1500 m depth. Safe working load must be at least 2000 kg.

The contracting authority shall procure two work boats for the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research ́s stations in Flødevigen and Tromsø. The vessel must fulfil the requirements for operating in the speed area "small coastal speed". See the competition information in Mercell for further information.

The competition is for a framework agreement for consultancy services to assist the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research with performance management, financial, accounts and financial system changes. The framework agreement will be signed with one tenderer. We would like tenderers to offer four consultants who, in total, cover the four main disciplines: (1) performance management, (2) finances, (3) accounts, and (4) financial system changes. The consultants will cooperate closely with the professional community at HI. 'Financial system changes' means financial assistance with the migration, implementation and operation of finance systems. If otherwise agreed, the consultants shall as a main rule have a place of work in the contracting authority ́s premises in Nordnesgaten 50, 5005 Bergen. However, some call-offs can be waived if the situation warrants this, e.g. where an assignment is of a minor extent. The maximum value for this framework agreement is NOK 15,000,000 excluding VAT. The contract shall have a duration of one year, with an option for an extension for 1+1+1 year (option). The total length can then be 4 years.

The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research (the Contracting Authority) would like to hire one fishing vessel for monitoring the fish ́s behaviour patterns and migration in areas (Vestavind F and Southwest F) opened for offshore wind turbine construction in summer/autumn 2026 for approx. 24 days expedition.

The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research shall procure a new LC-MS/MS (QQQ). In monitoring marine samples, fish feed and seafood, we routinely determine known PFAS, and other analyte groups such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals as well as positive substances such as vitamins, with LC-MS/MS. Our instruments and methods meet current testing requirements in connection with maximum limits for conformity assessment and content declaration for nutrients and vitamins. In order to meet the ever-increasing expectations to detect lower amounts of substances based on levels relevant to toxicological effects and the lack of data for risk assessments, there is a demand for both methodological improvements and the use of more sensitive instruments. LC-MS/MS is a technique under constant development that can currently detect and quantify very small amounts of various compounds in a sample. The instrument will be used for the determination of the most challenging PFAS compounds, in ultra-low amounts in complex matrices. The instrument will be used for both research analyses and testing in our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. Our role as a supplier of research results, monitoring data and risk assessments to authorities will form the basis for our assessment of the specifications in the table below. This procurement will include an option for an instrument no. 2 which may be purchased later. This instrument may be used for e.g. fat-soluble vitamins which are currently analyzed with LC spectroscopy at the Institute of Marine Research as it is desirable to transfer such analysis methodology of e.g. fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients to LC-MS/MS. The competition is held in two phases, where phase 1 is a qualification phase and stage 2 is the tender phase. The form of competition is further discussed in point 4.2.

The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research would like to enter into a parallel framework agreement for general workshop services for the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research ́s own research vessels, as well as research vessels that the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research operates and staffed on behalf of other governmental entities. The vessels included in this agreement are: "Princess Ingrid Alexandra""Johan Hjort""G.O. Sars"Hydrograf""Dr. Fridtjof Nansen» (see note 1 in the competition documents) Other vessels (see note 2 in the competition documents).

The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research wishes to continue and renew The Norwegian Coastal Reference Fleet.  The contracting authority shall enter into 1 new contract for services to the Reference Fleet (statistical area 08) from 1 vessel (2026-2030).
