Creditworthiness will be sufficient to meet the requirement.

Documentation requirement:
The contracting authority will obtain a credit rating from Experian. 
If there is doubt, the Contracting Authority can obtain further information from the tenderer.
Qualification requirement:
The tenderer must have a reason.

Documentation requirement:
Tenderers shall present the following documentation:
1.1 Basic book/home information, or
1.2 If the tenderer is not the landowner, the tenderer shall submit documentation confirming the right to use property(s).

In addition to either 1.1 and 1.2, the tenderer shall deliver a map showing the planned use of a 24 hour resting place.
Tenderers shall state the price for the hire per annum per parking area. The price shall include all costs in accordance with the requirement specifications points 3.2 and 3.3 and it shall cover the establishment, operation and maintenance of the 24 hour resting place.

Documentation requirement:
Tenderers shall enclose a completed price form, cf. annex 1.
The evaluation of quality is based on an assessment of the responses that the contracting authority wants (ought-requirements), cf. the requirement specifications point 3.3.

The sub-criteria in the award criteria quality:
1st area for possible expansion of the 24 hour resting place (point 3.3 letter a) - weight 10%
2. service offer for the users of the 24 hour resting place (point 3.3 letter b) - weight 10%
3. Service offer for the vehicles (point 3.3 letter c) - weight 10%

Documentation requirement:
Tenderers shall fill in the "Response form for shall-requirements and ought-requirements", cf. annex 2.

Documentation requirement for point 1:
The area suitable for expansion shall be shown on the aimed sketch. A description shall be given of how many placement places can be expanded with, with equivalent area requirements as described in point 3.2 letter a.

Documentation requirement for points 2 and 3:
Each service offer must be described, among other things, accessibility, distances and opening hours must be described.
There is no requirement for 30% weighting of climate and environmental considerations. The contracting authority can replace climate and environmental considerations in the award criteria with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specification, if it is clear that this gives better climate and environmental effect.
Several different requirements are made in the requirement specification, including:
- All areas that must be developed shall have an asphalt-EDP that is lower than 90 kg/tonne in accordance with NS-EN 15804+A2:2019.
- Charging stations shall be established for electric lorries.
- Cleaning shall be carried out with environmentally friendly products.
It has been considered that the effect of setting these requirements (especially the first two hyphenated points) gives a better effect than a possible achievement, if they were used as the award criteria. The requirements and effectiveness of the above requirements are, in our opinion, sufficient to use the exception in PPR § 7-9 (4).
The contracting authority invites tenderers to a competition for the establishment, operation and maintenance of a 24 hour resting place for heavy transport along the E6/E45 in Alta. The driving distance from the E6/E45 to the entrance for the actual 24 hour resting place shall be a maximum of 1 km.

The 24 hour resting place shall contain sanitary installations with toilets/showers and it shall have a minimum of 10 parking places. Otherwise, the 24 hour resting place shall fulfil the shall-requirements listed in point 3.2.
