Eligibility requirements: Requirement: Tenderers shall document that the company is legally established and registered in a company register or a commerce register in the member state in which the tenderer is established.

Documentation requirement: Tenderers shall document this by presenting documentation that shows that the tenderer is registered in a trade register, trade register or other company register as prescribed by the law of the country where the tenderer is established, for example the Brønnøysund Register Centre.
Requirement: Tenderers shall have their tax and VAT payments in order.

Documentation requirement: Tax and VAT certificate. The certificate must not be older than six months calculated from the deadline for receipt of tenders. Tenderers from other EEA countries, countries included in the GPA contract or a free trade agreement with EFTA/Norway shall enclose equivalent certificates or other statutory documentation from equivalent authorities in the country where the tenderer has its headquarters.
Requirement: The tenderer shall have experience from equivalent assignments. Equivalent means the delivery of the same service (snow clearing/winter maintenance) to the contracting authority of approximately the same extent as this contract. 

Documentation requirement: Tenderers must document their experience with comparable deliveries to customers by enclosing a minimum of two references from the last three years. The contracting authorities shall be specified with contact information so that references can be obtained. Tenderers that are newly established and cannot, henceforth, present references, must substantiate that they have the prerequisites required to fulfil the contract.
Requirement: Tenderers shall have the necessary capacity and have access to resources, who have the competence and implementation ability within the disciplines required by the assignment.

Documentation requirement: Tenderers shall document this by presenting a general description of relevant professional competence, as well as how the organisation will be used for the execution of the contract. This also includes the machines that are intended to be used for the contract.
See the contract.
The Contracting Authority requests a fixed price for snow clearing of this area.

Evaluation of the award criteria:
The following point will be the evaluation sum in the price criteria:

Table 1: Fixed price per winter season (the sum of all rows)
The price criteria will be evaluated so that the lowest price gets 60 points, while the other prices are evaluated according to the relative difference to the lowest price.

Lowest price/tender sum * 60 = number of points

Documentation requirement:
Completed Annex 3 Price Form.
The contracting authority has a high focus on the environment and emissions.

This criteria will evaluate the motorisation and emission class.

Evaluation of the award criteria:

Motorisation and emission class Points
Fuel: electric/hydrogen/biogas 40
Fossil fuel: Stage 5, Tier 4 Final and Euro class 6 30
Fossile Fuel: Stage 4, Interim Tier 4 15
Fossil fuel: Older emission classes 0
The score will be determined based on an objective measure. The tenderer can achieve a maximum of 40 points. The score will not be normalised.

If a tenderer offers several machines where they have different motorisations and emission classes, then the contracting authority will calculate an average of these to find the score.

Example:
Tenderers state that the following machines shall be used in the relevant areas:

One machine with Stage 5
One machine with Stage 4
Supplier gets 30 points + 30 points + 15 points. This will be a total of 75 points. As tenderers shall use 3 vehicles for this area, the average of these will be used (75/3), which gives the score 25. 

The contracting authority will emphasise the vehicles that are in use or that will be used during the first contract year. Tenderers who shall procure a new lorry/machine for this route must state information on this in Annex 1 Equipment Specifications in the same way that the lorries/machines the tenderer already has.

Documentation requirement:
Complete Annex 1 Equipment Specifications.
