Technical requirements: The contracting authority invites tenderers to a competition for the establishment, operation and maintenance of 24 hour resting places for heavy transport along the E18 on the stretch Bommestad-Langangen. The driving distance from the E18 to the entrance for the actual 24 hour resting place shall be a maximum of 1.5 km. Driving distance is to be measured from the end of the exit ramp from the E18.

The 24 hour resting place shall contain sanitary installations with toilets and showers and it shall have 30-50 parking places. Otherwise, the 24 hour resting place shall fulfil the shall-requirements listed in point 3.1.

The 24 hour resting place shall be ready for opening by 31.03.2026 at the latest and applies for 10 years from the opening hours. The contracting authority has the option to extend the contract for 1+1 year, so that the total possible lease period is 12 years.
The 24 hour resting place shall be located on llangs E18 on the stretch Bommestad-Langangen.
Tenderers shall state the price for the hire per annum per parking area. The price shall include all costs in accordance with the requirement specifications points 3.1 and 3.2 and shall cover the establishment, operation and maintenance of the 24 hour resting place.
The evaluation of quality is based on an assessment of the responses to deliveries that the contracting authority wants (ought-requirements), cf. the requirement specifications point 3.2.

The sub-criteria in the award criteria quality:
1. previous opening of the 24 hour resting place (point 3.2 letter a) - weight 10%
2. service offer for the users of the 24 hour resting place (point 3.2 letter b) - weight 10%
3. Service offer for the vehicles (point 3.2 letter c) - weight 10%
4. Establishment of solar panel installations (point 3.2 point d) - weight 5%
There is no requirement for 30% weighting of climate and environmental considerations. The contracting authority can replace climate and environmental considerations in the award criteria with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specification, if it is clear that this gives better climate and environmental effect.

Several different requirements are made in the requirement specification, including:
- All areas that must be developed shall have an asphalt-EDP that is lower than 50 kg/tonne in accordance with NS-EN 15804+A2:2019.
- Charging stations shall be established for electric lorries (6 quick chargers and 6 night chargers).
- Cleaning shall be carried out with environmentally friendly products.

It has been considered that the effect of setting these requirements (especially the first two hyphenated points) gives a better effect than a possible achievement, if they were used as the award criteria. The requirements and effectiveness of the above requirements are, in our opinion, sufficient to use the exception in PPR § 7-9 (4). 

We would, however, like further focus on the environment in this procurement and have stated in the award criteria that solar panel installations are wanted in connection with the 24 hour resting place. This sub-criteria is weighted by 5%.
