Tenders for the management of a new fund in North Norway (NOK 400-800 million).
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries has, in an assignment letter dated 24 August 2021, given Investinor the task of establishing a fund in North Norway with government and private capital, including a contract for managing the fund. There is also an assignment to manage ownership in the fund on behalf of the government. The contract between the fund and manager will be valid for the lifetime of the fund, which will be minimum ten years, and will be based on normal market terms.

We have chosen to follow methodology for public tenders as far as this is appropriate and practically possible. This is in order to ensure the basic requirements for competition, equal treatment, predictability, transparency, and traceability.
We will have a process where we first ask for basic information on the manager in order to ensure that they are qualified for the assignment. Then we will ask for tenders for the management assignment, with a more detailed description of the manager, experience, strategy, fees, etc. In this phase we will have an ongoing dialogue with tenderers so that we have the best possible basis for making the right choice.

Investinor is not covered by the Public Procurement Act or the Public Administration Act. The decision on the choice of manager will be made by the board in Investinor and will, therefore, be final. It will not be possible to appeal the award of contract as in an ordinary public tender. Investinor will follow good management practice, which states that tenderers will be informed of who is awarded the contract and the reasons for the choice that was made.

The size of the fund is minimum NOK 400 million, and Investinor will go in with up to 50% of the capital, equivalent to NOK 200 million. Investinor will go into the fund on the same terms as the private investors (pari passu). Investinor will be able to contribute with a further NOK 200 million through a non-binding option if private investors contribute with the same amount of capital. The fund could, therefore, have a capital base of between NOK 400-800 million. It is possible to increase the private share so that fund is larger than this.
