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

Documentation requirement: The contracting authority will assess the tenderer's finances through RiskGuardian Suite. Tenderers can enclose other necessary information if they believe that RiskGuardian Suite does not provide a correct picture of the financial situation. The RiskGuardian Suite service includes all Nordic countries. As a general rule, the Contracting Authority will not accept credit ratings from other company and accounting information systems than RiskGuardian Suite due to equal treatment of the tenderers. Foreign tenderers outside the Nordic countries will, however, use and accept credit appraisal through Dun & Bradstreet ́s service Credit (https://credit.dnb.com/). Tenderers that the contracting authority cannot find a RiskGuardian Suite (or Credit for suppliers outside the Nordic countries), e.g. newly established tenderers who have not built up a basis for a credit rating, must enclose a declaration/guarantee from a parent company/owner/bank or similar financing institutions, regarding the company's financial and economic position.
This requirement only applies to Norwegian tenderers. Requirement: Tenderers must have their tax, payroll tax and VAT payments in order in accordance with the legal provisions and the tenderer must not have significant arrears. Any arrears or other irregularities must be justified. Documentation requirement: Tenderers shall document the requirement through the certificate "Information on tax and duties". The certificate shall be of the type "RF-1507" and not "RF-1316". Tenderers order this in Altinn on behalf of their company. When ordering it is important that Ålesund municipality is stated as a copy recipient, so that the contracting authority gets a copy of the certificate directly from Altinn.
