The winter maintenance service is divided into 9 areas. Tenders can be submitted for one, several, or all lots. Sub-tenders and alternative tenders cannot be submitted for an individual lot. Tenderers are encouraged to cooperate in preparing tenders if they are unable to handle an entire lot alone.

The contracting authority will sign a contract with 1 tenderer for each lot, provided that a sufficient number of qualified tenderers submit tenders to the contest.
The contracting authority expects that the tenderer is familiar with the contract provisions and makes the necessary internal clarifications in such a way that a contract can be signed if awarded.
As part of the simplification of public procurements, and based on experience from similar, former procurements where many tenderers have limited experience with submitting tenders, the contracting authority has chosen not to require ESPD to be included in this call for tenders.
Tenderers are asked to confirm that none of the grounds for rejection in the form's Part III are relevant to you as a tenderer (this applies to funding of terrorist organisation, child labour, corruption, and involvement in criminal activities).
