The service is characterised as a service of general economic importance.

The Ministry of Transport ("the Contracting Authority") shall procure postal services in the form of newspaper distribution on Saturdays and three scheduled weekdays (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) in counter-cyclical distribution to ordinary postal deliveries.

Tenders can be submitted for both Saturday distribution and weekday distribution, but there must be separate tenders. Separate tenders shall also be submitted for each delivery area. One contract will be signed for the distribution of newspapers per delivery area for weekday distribution and Saturday distribution respectively. The contracting authority will thus enter into four total agreements. Contract terms that shall apply to the four contracts are in the attached agreements, cf. annex 1.0 (Saturday distribution north), annex 2.0 (Saturday distribution south), annex 3.0 (weekday distribution north) and annex 4.0 (weekday distribution south). When the contracts are signed, in each individual contract, it will be specified which part of the Geographical Area the contract applies to in a separate Annex 1 belonging to each contract. The contracts will be signed for one year, with an option for the contracting authority to extend the contract for a further one year. The estimated value for each of the contracts is estimated to be between NOK 100,000,000 excluding VAT, to NOK 100,000,000 excluding VAT. NOK 150,000,000 excluding VAT for the entire contract period, including the option year. The estimated total value for the 4 contracts included in this procurement is from NOK 400,000,000 excluding VAT to NOK 600,000,000 excluding VAT for the entire contract period including the option year. The estimated value is not binding for the contracting authority.
