Juridisk, økonomisk, finansiell og teknisk informasjon
Vilkår for deltakelse
Økonomisk og finansiell stilling:

Tenderers must document sufficient financial solidity. As a minimum the annual report with the accounts for the last 2 years must be enclosed with the tender. Tenderers must not have tax or duty arrears.

Teknisk og faglig kapasitet:

1 General requirements

The assignment as described above requires a considerable capacity for handling overall perspectives, multi-disciplinary qualifications and strong analytical resources. The tenderer needs to document that these qualities are available in the tenderer's own organisation.

It is permitted to submit tenders for groups comprising several cooperating firms. Such a cooperating group will, in relation to both the framework agreement and individual call-off orders, be considered 1 entity. This implies, inter alia, that the Ministry shall be able to communicate with 1 entity, which may be either 1 of the cooperating firms or a separate legal entity established for such purpose. Moreover, it is a requirement that all the cooperation partners in such a group assume complete joint and several liability for meeting the obligations of the tenderer in respect of both the Framework Agreement and individual call-off orders.

It is necessary to explain the degree to which the tenderer is dependent on using subcontractors. This is acceptable for minor, well-defined issues, but problematic if involving a major part of what is to be delivered, as this is hardly compatible with the need for performing analyses characterised by a sufficient degree of comprehensive integration. In special cases the Contracting Authority can request that the tenderer uses expertise from sub suppliers.

The tenderer shall, when tendering, present the CVs of the consultants that are meant to be in charge. A corresponding requirement will apply in relation to call-off orders, encompassing all consultants that the tenderer intends to use.

The tenderer should describe its capacity to perform assignments.

2 Requirements in connection with concept evaluation

The tenderer needs to describe its experience from the concept evaluation of large projects. It should specify the number of projects in excess of NOK 400 000 000 where the tenderer has been responsible for needs assessment, strategy development, requirement specification and the evaluation of alternatives, respectively, over the last 3 years. Those projects that have, in the tenderer's estimation, been particularly complex, should be mentioned separately.

The tenderer needs to document its methodological approach, specified in relation to qualitative evaluations, economic analyses and project analyses, as well as how the contributions from the various professional fields are integrated. It should also describe the scope of data available to the tenderer from projects that may serve as a basis for comparison/benchmarking.

Working methods should be illustrated through a description relating to 2 specific examples from the last 3 years.

3 Requirements in connection with cost estimation and risk analysis

The tenderer needs to describe its experience from cost estimation and risk analysis of large projects. It should specify the number of projects in excess of NOK 400 000 000 where the tenderer has performed or controlled/verified the cost estimation. It should also specify the number of projects in excess of NOK 400 000 000 where the tenderer has been responsible for the risk analysis over the last 3 years. Those projects that have, in the tenderer's estimation, been particularly complex, should be mentioned separately.

The tenderer shall document the methodologies and tools that will be used for modelling in the context of risk analysis, and how these will be utilised in a competent manner. It should be explained how the various types of risk are handled.

Working methods should be illustrated through a description relating to 3 specific examples from the last 3 years, where of 1 estimation example.

4 Requirements in connection with project management

The tenderer needs to describe its experience from the management of large projects. It should specify the number of projects in excess of NOK 400 000 000 where the tenderer has held significant responsibility in connection with project management over the last 5 years. Those projects that have, in the tenderer's estimation, been particularly complex, should be mentioned separately. The specific role of the tenderer shall be described.

Based on 2 examples from the last 5 years, it shall describe which societal and effect goals, or, alternatively, business plans, as well as output specifications, have been specified in advance, to what extent these were realised, as well as the role of the tenderer in the management of the projects.

5 Scope of industry-specific competency

The tenderer shall describe its industry-specific competency within planning, building, construction — with an emphasis on roads and railways, as well as large-scale procurement — with an emphasis on IT procurement and defence procurement. The description should include statistics and relevant examples.

6 References Extent of repeat purchases

2 customer references should be provided in relation to concept evaluation and 2 in relation to project management documentation for the selected project alternative, hereunder risk analysis. The references shall concern large projects in respect of which the tenderer has played a main role over the last 3 years. The extent of customers' repeat purchases of these types of services from the tenderer should be described.

7 Independence

It is not in itself a disqualifying factor that the tenderer operates as both an advisor and a constructor. However, it is an absolute requirement that the tenderer is an impartial, independent advisor as far as each individual assignment is concerned. The tenderer shall not have had any other involvement with the project in any earlier project phase, except by way of call-off orders under this framework agreement, and shall submit a written undertaking to refrain from involvement in any new assignments during the remaining phases thereof, except by way of any new call-off orders under this framework agreement.
