A framework agreement shall be signed with 1 tenderer. The tender contest includes 6 categories with different subject areas. The tenderers must be able to provide consultancy services for all categories.
Due to the scope and specialisation required for the subject areas, smaller service providers are encouraged to enter into a collaboration if this is required for submitting tenders to the contest. In such events, the tenderer must substantiate access to the necessary resources. This can for instance be substantiated by presenting a statement of obligation with the tender.

The estimated annual value of the framework agreement is 3 000 000 NOK, ergo a total value of 12 000 000 NOK over a maximum 4 year period.
The payment shall be within the end of a free delivery month with an addition of 30 days. The period of credit is from the receipt of a correct invoice.
K 01 Certificate for tax — Requirement: It is a requirement that the tenderer does not have significant tax or VAT arrears, or that there is an approved repayment plan. Documentation: Tax certificate. The certificate must not be older than 6 months calculated from the tender deadline. Any arrears or other irregularities must be justified.

The tenderer must achieve a minimum rating of ‘creditworthy’. The tenderer is expected to have familiarised himself with registered information about the company and by submission of the tender accepts that the information will be obtained and form the basis of the assessment of the tenderer's financial situation. If the tenderer knows that the requirement regarding the financial capacity to carry out the contract cannot be met via the credit rating as specified above, the tenderer can submit other documentation with the tender that confirms a satisfactory financial capacity.
