Buyer: Skedsmo kommune
Country: NO
Region: Akershus
Contract type: Services
Procedure: Open procedure
CPV classification: 71000000 | 71314100: Electrical services
Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The Contracting Authority is cancelled competition 14/61: Electrical checks with immediate effect, in accordance with the regulations §22-1 first and second paragraph.
On 10 December the Contracting Authority awarded a contract in this competition to Nord Elektro. The expiry of the waiting period was set to 21 December at 12 noon. Before the expiry of waiting period two appeals were received, both based on i.a. that the winner of the competition had been qualified in regard to the qualification requirement set in point 1.3.3 of the tender documentation.
After a further review of the appeals, the qualification requirement and the documentation attached to the individual tender offers, the Contracting Authority has unfortunately determined that the documentation requirement must be followed to the letter and that both the winner of the competition and a further two tenderers must be rejected. This has been done today.
Six tender offers were received in this competition. after the three tender offers were rejected, the Contracting Authority is left with three tender offers that are so much higher in price that the Contracting Authority has decided that they cannot accept the tender offers based on economic and business evaluation. Furthermore, the Contracting Authority has decided that the design of the qualification requirement under point 1.3.3. may have impacted participation in the competition and that it presents as an unreasonable requirement when three of six tenderers were rejected — even if the Contracting Authority after first having evaluated the tender offers cannot see that the tenderers actually are not qualified to execute the contract.
The Contracting Authority apologies for the situation and the inconvenience this has caused the participants. The Contracting Authority will assess the qualification requirement again and as soon as possible will announce a new competition on Doffin.
