Has the tenderer entered into agreement(s) with other tenderers with the intention of turning the competition?

Eligibility requirements: Tenderers shall be registered in a company register, professional register or registered in a commerce register in the country where the tenderer is established.
                Documentation requirements:
Tenderers must have sufficient economic and financial capacity to fulfil the contract.
                Documentation requirements:
                Tenderers must document a credit assessment/rating, not older than six months, carried out by a publicly certified credit rating institution Bisnode, or equivalent, confirming that the tenderer has a minimum credit worthiness of A.
Tenderers shall have experience from comparable contracts.
                Documentation requirements:
                Description of the tenderer ́s up to 3 similar assignments outside the Kongsberg region during the last three years. The description must include a statement of the contract ́s value, date and recipient (name, telephone number and e-mail address). It is the tenderer ́s responsibility to document relevance through the description.
The quality criterium is divided into two sub-criteria:
After an assessment, the contracting authority has concluded that climate and environment will not be used in this competition as an award criteria or as a requirement in the requirement specification. The background for this is that the nature of the procurement is typically office work with limited travel activities. It is the contracting authority ́s assessment that the climate footprint and environmental impact of the execution of this agreement will be almost the same as that of a permanent employee. 

The contracting authority therefore believes that in this case we find ourselves in the exclusionary provision in the procurement regulations § 7-9 fifth paragraph, as the procurement is justified in accordance with nature to have a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial.
The aim of the contract is to cover the Contracting Authority ́s need for consultancy services at full cost.

The contract will apply to consultancy services within the area of full cost in general, but the main quantity of the assignments will be connected to the self-cost accounts.

The need includes fixed assignments and deadlines throughout the year and in addition assignments that will vary over time and between the municipalities.

The Contracting Authority would like to use this procurement to enter into a framework agreement for fixed and variable assignments with one tenderer.
