Procurement procedure, open tender contest, cf. FOA § 14-1
The procurement will be carried out in accordance with the Act from 16.7.1999 no. 69 on public procurements (LoA) and the public procurement regulations laid down by Royal Decree 7.4.2006 no 402 (FOA), part III, §14 -1(1). This means that all those who would like to participate in the competition can submit documentation for the qualification requirements and a tender together. Submitted tenders shall include all the necessary information that the contracting authority needs to evaluate the tender.
Negotiations are not allowed in this contest. Tenders cannot, therefore, be changed after the tender deadline has expired. Furthermore, attention is drawn to the fact that tenders that include deviations, reservations, errors, uncertainties, are incomplete etc., which can lead to doubt as to how the tender shall be evaluated and compared with the other tenders, shall be rejected in accordance with the FOA § 20-13. Tenderers are therefore strongly encouraged to follow the instructions in this tender documentation and annexes and possibly ask questions if there is uncertainty.
All communication between the Tenderer and the Contracting Authority shall be sent to the Contracting Authority's contact person via the ‘Questions and Answers’ function in our electronic tender system. All questions and answers will be made anonymous and available for all tenderers. Enquiries received later than the deadline for questions will be not answered.
Deadline for questions: 4.8.2016.
Tender deadline 12.8.2016 12:00.
