The delivery includes collection of impregnated wood from the contracting authority ́s facilities, transport to a certified reception or incineration plant, as well as treatment of waste. The framework agreement shall cover the contracting authorities ́ ongoing needs during the agreement period. The extent varies between the companies and the collection frequency will therefore be needs controlled through call-offs. The estimated annual amounts are: Sirkula: 1,500 tons EMBERS: 1,200 tons HRA: 1,400 tons MGR: 400 tons The estimated value, based on the expected consumption for all sub-contracts in total, is NOK 12.3 million. The total maximum value for all sub-contracts is NOK 23 million. The reason for this is that the amount of impregnated wood that the contracting authorities receive during the contract period can be difficult to predict.
