Technical requirements: Qualification System — Free User Choice for User-controlled Personal Assistance for Clients, Søre Sunnmøre
This notice applies to the establishment of a qualification system for user-controlled personal assistance for clients (free user choice).
The system must be organised in such a way that all service providers who meet certain conditions after applying, can offer user-controlled personal assistance for clients (Norwegian abbreviation: BPA) in the participating municipalities.
The objective of the qualification system is to organise possibilities for real options for clients of user-controlled personal assistance services for selecting the providers they want for the BPA (user choice). At the same time, the system must contribute to ensuring that the users get the help they are required to have access to in accordance with the law on municipal health care services.
A qualification system is an administrative award where the contracting authority makes requirements for approval of providers. The terms specified in point 2.2 and part 2 of the tender documentation must be complied with during the entire contract period.
Admission to the qualification system does not apply to Public Procurement Regulations. However, the award procedure must be in accordance with the basic requirements given in the EEA agreement’s non-discrimination clause, objective criteria and a transparent and verifiable process.
Admission to the system requires that the service providers must comply with the terms in the qualification documentation. Service providers who fulfil the terms can and are obliged to offer these services to the municipality’s residents.
Relevant tenderers must as a minimum be able to provide BPA in one of the participating municipalities in order to be included in the qualification system.
The tenderer must present a tax and VAT certificate. (The certificate must not be older than 6 months).
The contracting authority itself shall conduct an assessment of the tenderer's finances through the company and accounting information system Bisnode AS using the service CreditPro.
The financial capacity to carry out the contract is required. A minimum requirement is that the tenderer is credit-worthy in accordance with Bisnode AS using the service CreditPro or that the tenderer has the financial capacity to implement the contract, based on the contracting authority’s assessment given in the submitted documentation from the tenderer.
Newly established companies: newly established companies must have the economic capacity to execute the contract.
Tenderers are required to have experience from similar assignments. Similar assignments are in this context defined as operation and management of BPA schemes. The contracting authority will, through the submitted documentation, make assessment on whether this qualification requirement is considered fulfilled.
The tenderer must ensure that the requirements related to training of supervisors are met. Cf. the Circular letter I-9/2015. The tenderer must also follow the Health Directorate's training manual for user-controlled personal assistance, BPA.
The tenderer must ensure that those who serve as assistants have submitted police certificates in accordance with the Municipal Health and Care Services Act, etc. §5-4 prior to date of initiating the service.
