Norwegian tenderers: After tender submission, the tenderer must give consent for TendSign to obtain and for the contracting authority to receive information about the above via Tendsign. After tenderers have submitted their tenders in TendSign, they will receive a request from Altinn for consent to share the tax information.

If a tenderer does not give consent, the tenderer must attach a tax and VAT certificate. The certificate must not be older than 6 (six) months from the tender deadline.
Any arrears or other irregularities must be justified. (Tenderers can obtain the electronic tax and VAT certificate itself and immediately receive it by email.)
Foreign tenderers: Tenderers who are not established in Norway can present equivalent documentation issued by the authorities in the country where the tenderer is established. The certificate must preferably be translated into Norwegian, but it will also be accepted in Swedish, Danish and English.

The contracting authority will carry out an appraisal of the tenderer's finances through CreditPro. Tenderers can attach other necessary information with their tender if the tenderer is of the opinion that Bisnode/CreditPro will not provide an accurate picture of the financial situation. The CreditPro service includes all Nordic countries. The contracting authority is not accepting credit ratings from other company and accounting information systems than CreditPro so that the Tenderers can be assessed on equal terms. However, for foreign tenderers outside the Nordic region, the contracting authority will use and accept a credit rating through Dun & Bradstreet Credit (via DNB, https://credit.dnb.com/).
Tenderers that the contracting authority cannot find in the CreditPro system (or Dun & Bradstreet Credit for tenderers outside the Nordic region), for example, recently established companies that have not acquired a basis for a credit rating, must attach a declaration / guarantee from the parent company / owner / bank or similar financial institutions regarding the company's financial and economic position.
