Kragerø Fjordbåtselskap IKS invite tenderers to a competition for the procurement of a fast passenger boat.

The boat shall be used as a passenger boat (45-50 passengers).

Therefore, the boat must meet the requirements of certification for this use.

See the attached documents:

Submitting tenders.

All tenders must be submitted electronically via the Mercell portal at: www.mercell.no within the tender deadline. Late tenders will be rejected. (The system does not allow tenders to be sent in electronically via Mercell subsequent to the deadline for receipt of tenders).

If you are not a Mercell user or you have any questions related to functionality of the system, e.g. how to submit tenders, please contact Mercell Support on Tel. +44 4721018860 or by email to: support@mercell.com

It is recommended that the tender is submitted well before the deadline, for example a minimum of 1 hour before the tender deadline expires.

In the event that additional information from the Contracting Authority leads to you wanting to revise your tender before the tender deadline expires, you can go in and open the tender, make changes and resubmit right up until the tender deadline expires. The last submitted tender will be considered the tender of record.

The tender requires an electronic signature upon delivery.

During the submission of the tender you will be asked for an electronic signature to prove that it is the actual tenderer who has sent the tender. You can obtain an electronic signature at:

www.commfides.com

www.buypass.no

www.bankid.no

Please note that it may take several days for the electronic signature to be delivered to you and as such this process should be initiated as soon as possible.

Mercell recommends that you test signing with the certificate you have available as soon as possible and in good time before the tender deadline. The testing functionality is in the registration/tender submission stages.

Electronic signature outside Norway:

Attention is drawn to the fact that the Mercell portal supports the following signatures from Sweden and Denmark:

Sweden: Svensk Bank ID,Nordea.

Denmark: Nem ID, TDC/OCES.

Within the EU Mercell uses a service provided by Unizeto (http://unizeto.eu/) through a contract with DIFI and the EU project PEPPOL (www.peppol.eu). This supports most X.509 certificates, but it is not possible to list all the relevant certificates. Mercell recommends that you test signing with the certificate you have available as soon as possible and in good time before the tender deadline. The testing functionality is in the registration/tender submission stages.
