Technical requirements: The Contracting Authority shall enter into a dynamic purchasing system to safeguard competition on furniture and fittings. This concerns the purchase of furnitures and fittings over 100 000 NOK  excluding VAT for i.a. the office, school, institution and nursery school sectors. Purchases under 100 000 NOK  excluding VAT for the individual area are undertaken on the framework agreement within the respective sectors.
In coming years, Bærum kommune needs future oriented, functional and flexible furnishing solutions for future work places in all sectors. For example, it has been decided that premises for administration and a number of service offers shall be based on “Activity Based Work Form” and furnished in accordance with this. The objective is to create an arena for meeting, creating, thinking and sharing, as well as ensuring efficient and optimised area use with correct environment and appropriate solutions. Emphasis shall also be placed on the establishing of digital solutions in multiple areas in “future” Bærum.
To meet the future needs in a satisfactory manner, the Contracting Authority shall enter into a dynamic purchasing system.

Norwegian tenderers who are not subject to VAT must provide confirmation of this from the National Tax Board.
Foreign tenderers must provide certificates from equivalent authorities to the Norwegian authorities.
Foreign companies: Verification that the company is registered in a trade or business register as prescribed by the law of the country where the tenderer is established.
The tenderer is required to be financially solvent, which gives the Contracting Authority the security that the tenderer will be financially viable throughout the period of the agreement.
The credit worthiness that will form the basis for qualification for this competition is risk class five (credit worthy) equivalent to A — credit worthy. Tenderers with a lower rating will be rejected.
The Contracting Authority will obtain an extended report. The report contains the auditor's report, negative payment remarks, accounts and rating history, and shall be based on the last known accounting figures. The extended report from the Norwegian company will be assessed for Norwegian companies that submit a tender on behalf of a foreign company.
Companies without sufficient credit rating, newly started companies with a credit rating of AN, individual foreign companies or companies without reporting obligation to the Brønnøysund Register Centre will not always be able to document that the requirement is met. In such instances, they will be able to compensate with a satisfactory credit rating which provides an equivalent security for implementation ability. These alternative documents must be included with the tender.
If the tenderer has valid reasons for not being able to provide the documentation requested by the Contracting Authority, the tenderer can prove the economic and financial position with any other document that the Contracting Authority deems suitable.
