A cooperation contract has been signed between Oslo municipality and the Norwegian Tax Administration as a part of Oslo municipality's fight against working life criminality, including illicit work and social dumping. Oslo municipality therefore requires a signed permission slip that gives Oslo municipality an extended right for an unlimited number of times to obtain information on its suppliers and sub-suppliers' tax and duty standing, as stated in the permission slip. The permission shall be signed by the winning tenderer after the award of contract letter has been received, but before the contract is signed.
The tenderer is obliged to meet the requirements regarding payment and and working conditions in public contracts, dated 8.2.2008.
In accordance with ESPD part III: Rejection reasons, section D: ‘Other rejection reasons that are laid down in national law in the contracting authority's member country’. The Norwegian procurement rules go further than the rejection reasons in the EU's directive on public procurements and in the standard form for ESPD. Emphasis is put on the fact therefore that all the rejection reasons in the procurement regulations § 24-2, including the purely national rejection reasons, apply for this competition.
The following rejection reasons in the procurement regulations § 24-2 are purely national rejection reasons:
— §24-2(2). This provision states that a contracting authority can reject a tenderer when they are aware that the tenderer has been legally convicted or has accepted a simplified writ for the stated punishable conditions. The requirement that a contracting authority shall reject a tenderer who has accepted a simplified writ for the stated punishable conditions is a distinctively Norwegian requirement.
— 24-2(3) letter i. The rejection reason in the ESPD form only applies for serious errors in professional performance, whilst the Norwegian rejection reason also includes other serious errors that can lead to doubt as to the tenderer's professional integrity.

Eligibility requirements: Overview and short description of the terms: Requirement: Tenderers shall be a legally established company. Documentation Requirement: Norwegian companies: Company Registration Certificate; Foreign companies: Verification that the company is registered in a trade index or a register of business enterprises as prescribed by the law of the country where the company is established.
