Technical requirements: The Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Transport and Community, needs to develop and possibly procure a tyre scanner in order to detect worn tyres. The aim of the procurement is to give the Norwegian Public Roads Administration access to sensors that can identify vehicles with worn tyres when they are in motion. By using sensors we can, to a greater degree, select vehicles with worn tyres for inspection, and use registered data for traffic management and guidance.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration would like to use new sensor technology in order to detect worn tyres on vehicles. Worn tyres are one of the largest accident factors in Norway, apart from human error, and are a contributing reason to several serious accidents a year. In addition, worn tyres contribute to many road closures every year. Worn tyres are currently found during vehicle inspections. However we do not have a good method for targeting vehicles for inspections based on a suspicion of worn tyres. Finding more worn tyres by increasing the inspection capacity is very resource demanding, both as regards personnel and infrastructure.
The procurement is split into two sub-solutions. See the document 'Needs Description for the Development of a Tyre Scanner' for further details. Tenderers can choose whether they would like to develop both, or only one of the two sub-solutions.
The service will be carried out in the period from when the contract is signed by both parties, and has a maximum duration for PHASE 1 of 1 (one) year, and 1 (one) year for the option for PHASES 2 and 3.
See point 2.3 Selection Criteria in the document 'Needs Description for the Development of a Tyre Scanner'.
1 (one) year for the option for PHASES 2 and 3, and maximum 4 years for the option under the framework agreement.

A tenderer who is newly established and unable to submit references, must be particularly careful to demonstrate that he has the prerequisites to carry out the assignment.
Newly established tenderer can document that the requirement is met by referring to the experience of offered persons/resources that have developed their competence in the service of other providers.
