Tenderers shall fill in the attached price form in their cost calculations and submit it 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. 

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.

The price form shall be filled in with cost price* per product and the offered mark-up as a percentage, and a unit price will automatically be calculated. NOTE! Negative mark-ups are not allowed.

All offered mark-up percentages shall be fixed for the entire contract period. During the agreement period, prices can only be adjusted in accordance with the contract ́s section "Price Adjustments". See section 7.10 in the contract document for further provisions on price and price adjustments.

The basis for a price comparison between the tenderers is the total price as stated in the price form. The submitted prices per product are multiplied by the stated estimated volume of each product and summed per product line. All product lines are then summed up to a total price that will be the basis for the evaluation.

*Definition of cost price:
•The costs included in the cost price are price for the goods, freight, assembly, customs, insurance or equivalent. Any discounts will be deducted. One can also use the word procurement cost for cost price.
•If the item is purchased externally, then there are price and freight and so on, minus discounts and bonuses, which makes up the item's cost price. This is, in some contexts, also called intake food.
This award criteria will be evaluated based on the tenderer ́s submitted product samples in accordance with the tender. A unit of the requested products shall be delivered to the contracting authority. Tenderers shall deliver product samples for all the product within the agreements/parts they would like to submit a tender for. Product samples shall not be delivered from tab K. 

The contracting authority will contact the supplier in the evaluation phase to arrange the delivery of the samples and delivery shall be available within 10 business days at the contracting authority's premises. The products shall as a minimum be marked with the supplier ́s name, article name, model and "Post no." from the price form.

In the evaluation quality, the products will be assessed in accordance with the "Price form protection and sweeping clothing" column "Evaluation Requirements (ought-requirements)".

Tenderers must reckon that the equipment will be tested within the intended use. I.e. there will be a "test track with work posts", equivalent to the "Fredrikstad test". The products will not be tested in smoke diving contexts, or have been tested.

All costs relating to freight of product samples to and from shall be covered by the supplier. Collection of product samples is agreed upon after the contracting authority has reviewed and evaluated the products.

A picture/description of the products offered in the tender shall not be enclosed in addition to what is specifically requested by documentation.
The participants are the fire brigade in the following municipalities: Ålesund, Fjord, Herøy, Sande, Stranda and Sykkylven.
