Technical requirements: The contracting authority needs future-oriented cars under 7.5 tonnes in the coming years. The contracting authority requests a contract that covers the need for cars and for ensuring regional and local guidelines for reducing the climate and environmental impact.
To meet future needs in a satisfactory manner, the contracting authority will enter into a dynamic purchasing system that will safeguard competition for cars under 7.5 tonnes. The dynamic purchasing system shall apply for the procurement of cars for, i.a. the district nursing, properties, schools, institutions and nurseries.
The dynamic purchasing system is divided in the categories A - E. Tenderers can be qualified for several categories. Contests will be held under the system, within the specific categories if required, and qualified tenderers within each category will be invited to participate.
The contracting authority will only invite suppliers who have been admitted to the category to which the procurement concerns.
Norwegian tenderers must have their affairs in order with regard to the payment of tax, payroll tax and value added tax (VAT).
Tenderers are required to be economically and financially solvent, which gives the contracting authority the security that the tenderer will be financially viable throughout the entire contract period.
The credit worthiness that will form the basis for qualification for participation in the dynamic purchasing system for cars is risk class 5 (credit worthy) equivalent to score A - credit worthy. Tenderers with a lower score are rejected.
The credit rating must not be more than 6 months old and based on the last known accounting figures. A credit rating must be carried out by a publicly approved credit rating agency which confirms that the tenderer has the necessary economic and financial ability / qualification based on a total assessment. The tenderers themselves must collect the documentation from the credit rating agency(ies). The documentation must be attached the application for participation in DPS.
Companies without adequate credit rating, newly started companies with a credit score of AN, individual foreign companies or companies without reporting obligation to the Brønnøysund Register Centre will not always be able to document that the requirement is met. In such instances, they will be able to compensate with a satisfactory credit rating which provides an equivalent security for implementation ability. Such alternative documentation must be included as part of the application.
When suppliers are included in a retailer / brand chain as a part of a group, and have a lower score equivalent to A, a parent company guarantee can be given instead, showing that the parties are jointly and severally liable for the execution of the contract. If a parent company guarantee is provided, the parent company will be rated in an equivalent way so the requirement for score A or equivalent thus applies to the parent company.
The contracting authority may request a statement from the parent company / group if this illustrates the applicant's financial position in case of any deviation from the requirement for creditworthiness
If a tenderer has valid reasons for not being able to provide the documentation requested by the contracting authority, the tenderer can document his economic and financial capacity by presenting other documents considered suitable by the contracting authority.
