Tilleggsinformasjon

Reference is made to the application for participation in competition for the procurement of investment funds for North-West Russia and Eastern Europe. Innovasjon Norge [Innovation Norway’ has decided to cancel the competition pursuant to the Public Procurement Regulations § 25-4 (1). In the qualification phase it has come to light that 1 of the qualification applications includes current employees of Innovasjon Norge [Innovation Norway]. We emphasis that this does not concern persons who have worked with the relevant competition. In such a situation, however, there is a risk that participants have different information about the competition, without it being detected. Innovasjon Norge’s basic principles for implementation of competitions are non-discrimination, predictability, openness and validation. Since it is a risk that participants have different information and questions can arise in regard to non-discrimination, it has been assessed that there are significant grounds to cancel the competition. A new competition will be announced during June 2018. The new competition will be handled by an external part to ensure arm's length and independence of Innovation Norway.
