Technical requirements: It is a general requirement that the tenderer is qualified to carry out the work offered. The tenderer must have the necessary expertise and experience, technically, professionally, in organisational terms and administratively.
Information on the tenderer shall be given in the response form in chapter E2. It is important for assessment that the information and documentation is correct and complete.
Please not that the General Contractor can collect information from the Brønnøysund registers and from given references. If substantially incorrect information is given, this may lead to rejection, cf. Public Procurement Regulations (PPR)
The information will be discretely evaluated. The builder will also focus on information from self-evaluations of the tenderer.
Tenderers who do not fulfil the builder's qualification requirements will be rejected, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 8-4 and § 17-4. Every single requirement must be met. Each requirement which is not met will result in the provider being rejected.
The documentation with the tender will be the basis for the Builder evaluating whether requirements are met. Missing or inadequate documentation in one or more criteria can result in the offer being rejected.
Tax and VAT certificates, not older than six months, shall be enclosed with the tender. Cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 8-7, possibly § 17-14.
If the tenderer is a working partnership (supplier consortium), a declaration of joint and several liability to the builder and third-parties must be enclosed with the tender.
A report shall be given for the business form and the composition of the working partnership, including the participants' organisation numbers [Business Register Numbers].
Tenderers must make sure to substantiate how the competence requirements shall be met by the participants. Furthermore, each individual participating company in the working partnership must provide information on their company, as is required in the tender documentation. Working partnerships will be assessed collectively for all eligibility requirements, except HSE and own equity. Each participant will be individually evaluated for HSE and equity.
Tenderers are required to have positive equity. If the tenderer is a working partnership (supplier consortium), the requirements apply for each of the participants.
Documentation of any significant changes to the tenderer's equity and solvency compared to the last accounts audit must accompany the tender.
Tenderers who are recently established companies and consequently, cannot submit references, must be particularly careful to demonstrate that they have the ability to carry out the contract. The tenderer shall report their company formation and employee expertise. Planned organisation for the assignment and CV s for the key personnel in the project organisation are extremely important. This also applies for companies that merge or are acquired by another company during the tendering process.
Where the tenderer is dependent on a sub contractor in order to be qualified, the tenderer must document for the contracting authority that the tenderer will have authority over the required resources. This can be documented by the tenderer presenting a mutual statement of liability, or equivalent.
The tenderer is required to show references to relevant contracts that they themselves have carried out in a satisfactory manner.
