Kristiansand Havn KF invite tenderers to a competition for the procurement of the harbour boat specified below with options for a crane and navigation equipment.

The boat shall be used for oil pollution stand-by (up to 12 passengers), and reinforced for ice breaking (12cm blue ice). The boat shall also be used as a duty and working boat. The boat shall, therefore, fulfil the requirements for certification for this use.

The aim is to procure a boat prepared for a crane, and with an option for a crane adapted to the boat and an option for navigation equipment.

It shall be possible to take up the options so that the crane and navigation equipment can be delivered together with the boat.

If the budget covers the entire procurement, a contract will be signed for them at the same time.

The option shall be valid until 31.12.2015.

Information on this is in the tender documents.

See attached tender documents.

Submitting tenders

All tenders must be submitted electronically via the Mercell portal at www.mercell.no by the tender deadline. Late tenders will be rejected.

(The system also does not allow the submission of quotations online via Mercell after the tender deadline).

If you are not a Mercell user, or you have any questions related to functionality of the tool, for example, how to give quotes, contact Mercell Support on tel: 0047 21 01 88 60 or by e-mail to: support@mercell.com.

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

If there is additional information from the contracting authority that leads to you wanting to change your tender before the deadline expires, you can go in and open the tender, make any changes and submit it again right up until the deadline for receipt of tenders expires.

The quotation to be submitted last will be considered as the final quote.

The offer requires electronic signature upon delivery.

During the submission of the offer you will be asked for an electronic signature to prove that it is the actual tenderer who has sent the offer.

You can obtain an electronic signature at www.commfides.com, www.buypass.no or 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 sign the available certificate as soon as possible, well before the tender deadline.

The test functionality is located in the registration/tender submission steps.

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 unfortunately not possible to list all the relevant certificates. Mercell recommend that one tests signing with the certificate that one has available as soon as possible, in good time before the deadline expires. The test functionality is in the registration/tender submission steps.
