Award criteria: price, quality

Technical requirements: The framework agreement comprises more than 400 vehicles under 3,500 kg, which shall have annual service and maintenance as well as EU control (PKK). Systematic follow-up of the vehicles, as well as service and repair history can contribute to better control of the vehicle fleet, cost reductions and longer lifetime of the vehicles.

The framework agreement for workshop services does not include tyres, tyre hotel tyres or repairs of body damage and glass.
The quality award criteria will be evaluated based on the tenderer ́s response to the following sub-criteria:

Priority and Customer Service
Competence
Integration with CarAdmin
A mapping of climate and environmental impacts in the procurement shows that the service part in itself has a minimal environmental impact all the time it covers the purchase of human resources such as hourly work or assignments. The environmental impact of the agreement is mostly connected to:

Waste management through workshops generating significant amounts of waste, including hazardous waste such as oil, batteries and chemicals. Improper handling of this waste can lead to pollution of soil and water.
Use of chemicals for vehicle repairs and maintenance that can be harmful to the environment if not handled properly.
Noise pollution during the operation of machines and equipment that can negatively affect the local environment.

Workshops that offer repairs and periodic vehicle inspections must be certified by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, c.f. the workshop regulations § 3. One of the terms for certification is that premises and technical equipment used by a certified vehicle garage be suitable for the purpose and have the necessary permits, cf. the workshop regulations § 7.

The premises ́ suitability is approved by the municipality in accordance with the Planning and Building Act. The necessary permits are related, among other things, to the Pollution Act § 7 first period, in which it is stated that the person responsible for an activity or measures that pollute, or carries a risk of pollution, must have a licence. Application for a licence to a company in accordance with the Pollution Act shall be sent to the Norwegian Environment Agency.

All vehicle garages approved by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration are therefore required to comply with strict requirements regarding climate and the environment in order to operate the operation. Climate and environment as the award criteria will, therefore, not be suitable for separating tenderers since everyone must fulfil the same strict requirements for climate and environment. The assessment is then that climate and environment as the award criterion will not give any further gain beyond the statutory requirements.

When procuring workshop services for vehicles under 3,500 kg, the above will achieve a clearly better climate and environmental effect by making absolute requirements in the requirement specification that ensure that the already imposed climate and environmental requirements in the workshop certification are complied with and reported, that the routines and guidelines are updated, implemented and anchored in the business and that employees receive sufficient training in handling hazardous waste.

The exclusion provisions in the procurement regulations § 7-9 fourth paragraph first sentence will therefore apply and the award criterion is replaced by absolute requirements in the requirement specifications.
