Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The aim of the contract is to cover the contracting authority's need for the delivery of electricity to participating municipalities and companies in this competition. The assignment also includes services relating to portfolio management and tools for energy monitoring.
Requirement: Tenderers must have their tax, employer contributions and VAT payments in order in accordance with the legal provisions.
2) Credit rating: Requirement: Sufficient financial capacity for implementing the contract is required. A minimum requirement is that the tenderer is credit-worthy with a score of A in accordance with Bisnode AS using the service CreditPro, or that the tenderer has the financial capacity to implement the agreement, based on the contracting authority’s assessment in accordance with the attached documentation from tenderers.
Norwegian tenderers: After tender submission, the tenderer must give consent for TendSign to obtain and for the contracting authority to receive information about the above via Tendsign. After tenderers have submitted their tenders in TendSign, they will receive a request from Altinn for consent to share the tax information. The consent is valid on an organisation level and is valid for 3 (three) months.
If a tenderer does not give consent, the tenderer must attach a tax and VAT certificate. The certificate must not be older than 6 (six) months from the tender deadline. Any arrears or other irregularities must be justified. (Tenderers can obtain the electronic tax and VAT certificate itself and immediately receive it by email.)
Foreign tenderers: Tenderers who are not established in Norway can present equivalent documentation issued by the authorities in the country where the tenderer is established. The certificate shall preferably be translated into Norwegian, but it will also be accepted in Swedish, Danish and English.
2) Documentation requirement: The contracting authority will carry out an assessment of the tenderer´s finances through the company and accounting information system Bisnode AS (www.soliditet.no/creditcontrol) with the service CreditPro. The contracting authority is not accepting credit ratings from other company and accounting information systems than Bisnode AS with the service CreditPro so that the Tenderers can be assessed on equal terms. Tenderers can attach other necessary information with their tender if the tenderer is of the opinion that Bisnode/CreditPro will not provide an accurate picture of the financial situation. Newly established companies: Newly established companies who have not worked up a basis for a credit assessment must enclose a declaration from a bank or similar financial institution on the company´s financial and economic standing. This also applies to foreign tenderers.
Requirement: The tenderer, or employees of the tenderer are required to have experience from equivalent assignments. Equivalent assignments means the purchase and portfolio management of electric power to clients of the same nature and scope, with a minimum duration of 3 years.
