Document: Contract terms for service procurement 2.6.2 Justification for use of FOA. § 7-9 (4) The starting point in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations. § 7-9 is that the contracting authority shall emphasise climate and environmental considerations with a minimum of 30%. The fourth section of the provision states that the award criteria can be replaced with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specifications, if it is clear this gives a better effect. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has chosen, in this procurement, to use the exclusionary provision, by requiring that transport/driving in the execution of the assignment shall be carried out with emission-free transport. Well surveys shall be carried out and tests shall be taken of the water environment. The samples will be analysed at the laboratory and the assignment involves desk work. This part of the procurement has, in isolation, seen an environmental impact that is immaterial. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration is, thus, referring to DFØ ́s guidelines for rules on climate and environmental considerations in public procurements, chapter 7.2. Consultancy and analysis services are mentioned here as procurements that are, in their nature, assessed to have climate footprint and environmental impact that are immaterial. The work will, however, also include travel activities to extract samples that shall be analysed. It is possible to set this as the award criterium, but the contracting authority considers that the climate/environmental impact is best addressed by setting requirements for transport in the assignment Contract provisions for service procurement Contract provisions for the Norwegian Public Roads Administration - the template last revised 22.05.2024 Page 5 of 18 shall be emission free. It is clear that the requirement gives the best effect, and that the terms for using the exception in the Public Procurement Regulations are considered. § 7-9 (4) is fulfilled.
