Technical requirements: The procurement will be carried out in accordance with the Public Procurement Act of 17 June 2016 (LOA) and the Public Procurement Regulations (FOA) FOR 2016-08-12-974, parts I and part III. The contract will be awarded in accordance with the open tender contest procedure, c.f. FOA § 13-1 (1).

Negotiations are not allowed in the competition. Tenders cannot, therefore, be changed after the tender deadline has expired.

Attention is defined that tenders that include significant deviations from the procurement documents shall be rejected in accordance with PPR § 24-8(1) b.
Ålesund Fire Brigade KF shall procure a new advanced unit, with an option for the delivery of one vehicle to a later date.
Tenderers shall fill in the attached price form in their cost calculations and submit as an annex to the tender in Excel format. All fields in the attached price form marked with yellow shall be completed. Missing the price fields can cause difficulties in assessing the tender and the tender can then be rejected.

Price = complete vehicle in accordance with the requirement specification, including costs connected to construction meetings and journeys in connection with hand-over/training/warranty cases. All expenses connected to travel shall be included in the offered price.

All prices are in NOK, excluding VAT, including all direct or indirect expenses and duties that could be incurred in connection with the delivery. Order fees and invoice fees are to be seen as expenses. The prices shall include all costs for the customer who is included in this competition. Costs that the tenderer knows will be incurred, but that are not specifically stated in the tender, will be seen as included in the stated costs.
Ålesund Fire Brigade KF would like a vehicle that has a building and component quality that gives a long lifetime and easy access to all control points, so that cleaning, maintenance and repairs can be carried out in an easy and time efficient way. We would like durable and adjustable fit that safeguards ergonomics and HSE.

The quality will be assessed based on the tenderer ́s descriptions of the offered vehicle and how the tender offer complies with the set standard requirements and specifications in the tender documentation. It is important that drawings illustrate solutions well and that the tenderer gives good descriptions so that the customer has no doubt about what is the correct understanding of the response.

The contracting authority has set qualification requirements that the tenderer shall have delivered a minimum of two equivalent vehicles. The contracting authority would like to test drive one of the reference cars as part of the evaluation. The contracting authority will, in particular, refer to the following points:
•Comfort in the driver's cabin
•Experienced handling
•Noise

It is important that the tender clearly states how the offered system differs from that chosen in the reference vehicle that the contracting authority shall test drive, so that the contracting authority can take this into account in its evaluation.
The contracting authority does not currently have an equivalent vehicle in service and therefore wants the as fast as possible delivery of new vehicles. The production and delivery time shall be stated in the number of weeks from when the contract is signed.
