External conference venues
The University of Agder (UiA) has no current agreement for booking external courses/conference services or venues. Until an agreement is in place, obtain multiple offers from hotels and course centers for events, meetings, or seminars.
If the cost exceeds NOK 100,000 excluding VAT, you must always obtain at least three offers to ensure competition among providers. However, it is good practice to do this regardless the amount.
Contact your unit's purchaser before contacting a hotel/conference center.
Purchasers: Write a brief background note for each purchase. Attach this note and the chosen supplier's offer to the order in UBW, but do not send it to the supplier.
