Technical requirements: The competition will be held in accordance with the Public Procurement Act from 17 June 2016 no. 73 (LOA), with the accompanying regulations of 12 August 2016 no. 974 (FOA), as well as the provisions in this tender documentation.

The contracting authority plans to award the contract without having a dialogue with the tenderers beyond making any clarifications/corrections.

Dialogue through negotiations can, however, be carried out if the contracting authority, after the tenders have been received, considers it appropriate. If the contracting authority chooses to negotiate, the first selection will be made after an assessment of the award criteria stated in point 2, with the weighting stated there. Emphasis is put on the fact that no tenderers can expect a dialogue on their tender and must, therefore, submit their best tender within the tender deadline.
