Sandnes municipality (hereby the contracting authority) intends to enter into an agreement for the ongoing purchase of a re-use platform with Loopfront AS. The platform includes i.a. functionality for mapping objects, logistics, marketplace, as well as functionality for reporting and analysis. The contracting authority had previously carried out a market survey in 2026 to examine the market for such a system. As a part of the market survey, the contracting authority attached a requirement specification with minimum requirements for such a system. The contracting authority only received a response from Loopfront AS on the survey, and this tenderer could fulfil the requirements that were set. The contracting authority is therefore of the opinion that there is currently only one supplier on the market who can deliver a re-use platform that fulfils the contracting authority ́s needs. The Contracting Authority has, with reference to the exception in the procurement regulations §13-4 b. point 2, intends to enter into an ongoing contract with Loopfront AS for the purchase of their re-use platform. The contract ́s value is estimated to be between NOK 600,000 - 1.2 million, excluding VAT over 4 years. If someone would like to appeal the intention notice, this can be done for up to 10 days from the day after the notice has been published. If the contracting authority does not receive appeals by this deadline, it will be free to sign the contract with Loopfront AS.
