Eligibility requirements: Tenderers must have sufficient financial capacity to fulfil the contract. 

Creditworthiness will be sufficient to meet the 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.

Tenderers can, in cases where the tenderer has a justifiable reason for not submitting such documentation, fulfil the requirement by presenting another document that the Contracting Authority deems suitable.
Tenderers must have relevant experience: 

Tenderers must document previous experience with delivering vehicle generated data (FCD) systems to national or regional road authorities or operators, and enclose references from similar procurements that show their ability to meet the needs of public road administrations. 

A newly established supplier who cannot present references must be particularly careful to document and demonstrate that they still have the prerequisites for carrying out the assignment, such as access to FCD and resale rights.

Newly established tenderers can document that the requirement is fulfilled by referring to experience that the offered persons/resources have built up in services other than the tenderer.
Selection criteria: 

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration would like to enter into agreements with a supplier who can deliver vehicle generated data (FCD) directly from vehicle manufacturers (OEMs). Resaleers will only be selected to participate in the competition if all tenderers with FCD directly from OEMs who have applied have already been selected.

Tenderers who can refer to the most relevant experience (holistic assessed) based on the following criteria, will be chosen to participate in the competition:
 
* Delivered to road authorities or road owners (private and public) with a relevant amount of roads. 
    * Real time and historical data
    * API and web interface
* Data delivered to road authorities that use the data for purposes within road planning, from local to national plans.
 
The selection criteria must be documented with a maximum of five references for each point listed above.

The contracting authority will select three to five tenderers who will be invited to submit a tender, based on the documentation and references that have been sent in.
 
Tenderers will be selected according to how well they fulfil the qualification criteria listed above.
The tenderer's response to the requirements in "Appendix 1 Attachment 1 - Customer specification of requirements" will be evaluated based on which solution is best suited for the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. 

The requirements are weighted in two categories: Normal and important, where the important requirement has twice as much weight as the normal requirement. The requirements in the Excel sheet are marked either N/A (mandatory requirements), normally or
important.

The evaluation criteria must be documented by responding to the requirements. Answers should primarily be given in the attached Excel sheet, "Appendix 1 Attachment 1 - Customer specification of requirements". If there is insufficient space in the
spreadsheet, the supplier can refer to a structured annex with a clear reference to the requirement ID. Each answer must clearly indicate which specific requirement it addresses.
 
The processing time in the price list for the API calls will also be evaluated in this award criteria.
All prices must be specified

• See "Appendix 6 - Attachment 1 – Pricing form"

The prices and price terms included in other annexes to the tender are not valid
As stated in requirement F-044, we prefer to use the supplier ́s standard SLA agreement.
 
The different SLA levels of the tenderers will be evaluated.
 
Tenderers should suggest their standard SLA, which will primarily be evaluated on the following:
 
• The proposed service levels
• The methods/tools used to measure provided service levels as regards the proposed levels.
• The standardised compensation mechanism if the necessary service levels are not achieved.

The SLA shall clearly describe financial compensation in accordance with the tenderer ́s standardised rates.
Justification for not requiring environmental management standards, or using climate and environmental requirements and/or
award criteria in this procurement: 

This is justified by the exclusionary provision in the Public Procurement Regulations §7-9 fifth paragraph. (5). The obligation to set requirements or criteria in accordance with this provision does not apply as the procurement (IT services) has a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is insignificant and not measurable.

The environmental and climate effect of this procurement can only be viewed through positive externalities, i.e. when the vehicle generated data is in use and implemented in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration ́s services.
To meet today's demands for efficient and sustainable transport, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) requires comprehensive traffic data to support services for road users and businesses, as well as for monitoring and planning purposes. In particular, NPRA aims to strengthen its ability to monitor and analyse traffic flow, travel times, and traffic density by using both real-time and historical Floating Car Data (FCD).

The purpose of this procurement is to ensure that NPRA has access to a broad and reliable range of Floating Car Data (FCD).

Through this tender, NPRA seeks to achieve the following objectives:
• Access to real-time data
• Access to historical data
• High data quality and coverage
