Technical requirements: The contracting authority needs, in the next few years, future-oriented cars below 7,5 tonnes. 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 the future needs in a satisfactory manner, the contracting authority shall enter into a dynamic purchasing system which shall safeguard the tender contest for cars below 7,5 tonnes. The purchasing system includes purchase of cars for i.a. the home care service, properties, schools, institutions and nurseries.
Based on the last 3 years' consumption, the total annual value is estimated to approx. 5 000 000 — 7 000 000 NOK, excluding VAT. The annual procurement will depend on financial framework terms, political decisions and the market situation in general.

Foreign companies: verification that the company is registered in a trade or business register as prescribed by the law of the country where the tenderer is established.
The tenderer is required to be financially solvent, which gives the contracting authority the security that the tenderer will be financially viable throughout the period of the agreement.
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.
A certificate for tax and VAT issued by either the local tax office or the tax collection office where the tenderer's head office is located. The certificate can be obtained from Altinn.no.
Foreign tenderers must provide certificates from equivalent authorities to the Norwegian authorities.
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 the tenderer has valid reasons for not being able to provide the documentation requested by the contracting authority, the tenderer can prove the economic and financial position with any other document that the contracting authority deems suitable.

Eligibility requirements: The tenderer must be a legally established company. Norwegian tenderers: Company Registration Certificate Foreign companies: verification that the company is registered in a trade or business register as prescribed by the law of the country where the tenderer is established.
