(2004/C 254/05)

4.   Tender procedure: This invitation to tender is subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of Article 4.1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92.

Overdue tenders and tenders not in conformity with the invitation to tender will be rejected [Reject = the tender is dismissed without further investigation. Reference is made to §§ 9, 11 and 12 of the Norwegian Regulation of 15 April 1994 on tender procedures in connection with public service obligations to implement Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 Article 4].

Section 9   Details regarding overdue tenders

Tenders arriving after the closing date for submission of tenders, see section 6, shall be rejected as overdue and be returned.

However, this does not apply to tenders which arrive after the closing date but before the opening of the tenders provided it is clear from the postmark that, given normal postal service schedules, the tender was mailed early enough for it to have arrived before the deadline, or the tenderer in question has proven this by a receipt from Norway Post before the opening of the tenders.

The rejection decision, including the grounds for it shall be entered in the register of tenders.

Section 11   Rejection

Section 12   Criteria for exclusion of tenderers

If the subsequent negotiations do not lead to an acceptable solution [cf. section 11 of the Norwegian Regulation of 15 April 1994 on tender procedures in connection with public service obligations to implement Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 Article 4 and the invitation to tender chapter III No 5.], the Ministry of Transport and Communications reserves the right to cancel the entire tender procedure.
