Main features of the procedure
:
The assignments are mainly carried out by our employees. However, experience shows that at times with heavy activity and/or holidays/leave, there is a need to supplement our own capacity with the procurement of external services for process assignments. A framework agreement will be signed with one lawyer company. The framework agreement includes compulsory child protection cases, but it can also be used in other disciplines for which the tenderer has competence. This means that this framework agreement can also be used in other disciplines than coercive cases within child protection. The framework agreement is not exclusive. I.e. the municipality can engage other law firms where it is deemed appropriate. Please note that the municipality already has a contract for lawyer services for contracts and public procurements. The number of assignments will depend on the work situation and the influx of cases at the municipal lawyer at all times. Assignments in accordance with the framework agreements will, on behalf of Kristiansand municipality, be administered by the district attorney.
