Technical requirements: Voluntary ex ante transparency notice about planned procurement of 6x4 lorries that run on liquid biogas
Trondheim kommune, ved Trondheim bydrift, [Trondheim Municipality c/o Trondheim Urban Operations] announced an open tender contest for a biogas driven 6x4 lorry with a dumper plate in July 2021. Three suppliers registered their interest in the competition, but only Wist Last & Buss AS submitted a tender. In consequent dialogue with the municipality, the other interested parties informed that they cannot offer 6x4 lorries run on liquid biogas.
On this basis, Trondheim Urban Operations award a contract for the purchase of one 6x4 biogas lorry to Wist Last & Buss AS as the only tenderer.
Trondheim Urban Operations has now subsequently received a grant from the Environment Unit to invest in an additional two equivalent 6x4 biogas lorries, for winter operations and mass transport.
Based on our knowledge of the market and contests held, we see no reason to announce a new contest as we believe a new notice will not lead to a different result than the first notice, even though we will now purchase two lorries. On this basis we believe Urban Operations can make a supplementary order for a further two lorries from Wist Last og Buss AS so that the municipality acquires a total of three lorries from the same supplier. Trondheim Urban Operations hereby states that we intend to purchase a further two 6x4 biogas lorries from Wist Last og Buss AS.
If we not receive new information about the market after this announcement, Trondheim Urban Operations will procure a further two 6x4 biogas lorries from Wist Last og Buss AS.

Pursuant to the Public Procurement Regulation § 13-4 first section, letter b, no. 2, the procurement can be made without a competition if the procurement concerns services that only a specific supplier can provide as competition is impossible due to technical reasons.
Trondheim Urban Operations intends to purchase a further two 6x4 biogas lorries from Wist Last og Buss AS who won the previous competition, based on the previous competition and our knowledge of the market showing there is no other supplier in the market. Therefore competition in the market is not considered possible, and it is therefore most appropriate to make a direct procurement for the same supplier without a new contest pursuant to PPR § 13-4 first paragraph letter b no. 2.
