The use of sub-suppliers requires written approval from the contracting authority. The tenderer has, regardless of this, full responsibility for the fulfilment of the contract. Parallel framework agreements will be signed with up to three tenderers, ranked as suppliers 1, 2 and 3 on the basis of the result in the competition. Assignments with an estimated value under NOK 500,000 excluding VAT are awarded as a main rule supplier 1. The assignment can be awarded to the next tenderer in the ranking if a higher ranked tenderer does not have capacity, does not confirm the order within the agreed deadline, cannot comply with the required progress or response time, or when other justifiable conditions in the assignment do so necessary. The contracting authority can apply for urgent assignments to the highest ranked tenderer who can comply with the response time requirement. If several tenderers can comply with the requirement, the regular ranking will be followed. Mini competitions can be implemented with assignments for more than NOK 200,000 excluding VAT. For assignments with an estimated value of NOK 500,000 excluding VAT or more, mini-competitions shall be held between the framework agreement suppliers. The contracting authority can also hold mini-competitions under this value if the assignment ́s nature or complexity warrants it. In mini competitions, the assignment can be awarded on the basis of price, assignment comprehension and implementation, progress and delivery time, the offered key personnel ́ competence and experience, as well as climate and environmental considerations. The contracting authority will choose which of the criteria are relevant for each assignment. The award criteria, weighting, price format and documentation requirements will be in each enquiry.
