Particularly on newly established tenderers: A tenderer who is newly established and cannot present all the required documentation must be particularly careful to document and substantiate that they still have the prerequisites required to fulfil the contract.

It is particularly important that such tenderers can document a sufficiently large workforce for the execution of the contract, including technical and professional qualifications. Newly established tenderers emphasise that it is the tenderer's ability as such to carry out the contract that is assessed, not individual persons ́ competence in isolation.

If a newly established tenderer has experience from contracts, the most relevant contracts from which the tenderer has experience must be completed in accordance with the documentation requirements regarding relevant experience. This is even if the contracts are of such a nature that they do not fulfil the specified requirements.

Missing or inadequate documentation in one or more of the requirements can result in the tenderer being rejected. Insufficient or incorrect completed response form can also lead to rejection.

Tenderers who have established themselves within a new discipline can also be seen as newly established.

Liste og kort beskrivelse av vilkår

ESPD: Tenderers shall submit the European Self-Declaration Form (ESPD) together with the request to participate in the competition or together with the tender.

The provisions on rejection due to conditions at the tenderer are stated in the procurement regulations § 24-2. The European Self-Declaration Form (ESPD) applies as provisional documentation, among other things, so that there are no such reasons for rejection.

Further documentation requirements for absence of rejection reasons are in the procurement regulations § 24-7, possibly also § 24-5 (1) if documentation of such measures is relevant. The documentation shall be submitted in accordance with the communication terms stated in chapter B1 and in accordance with the deadline set by the Contracting Authority, in the event that the Contracting Authority requires this. The certificates mentioned in § 24-7 (1) letter a) and b) must not be older than 6 months calculated from the deadline for submitting a request for participation in the competition or a tender.

If the necessary certificates/documents for documenting the absence of rejection reasons are not issued in the tenderer's home country or the country where they are established, or if they do not cover all the rejection reasons mentioned in the procurement regulations § 24-2 (1) letter b, (2) and (3) letters a and b, the completed ESPD form applies as documentation for these conditions.

The contracting authority will be able to conduct separate surveys related to the tenderer's activities, including participants in a supplier partnership and supported entities to the tenderer, as well as other conditions that are relevant to assess whether the tenderer can be qualified.

Liste og kort beskrivelse av vilkår

Authority for information on tax and duties (OSA): As a part of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration's struggle against labour crime, including black work and social dumping, a cooperation agreement has been signed between the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the Norwegian Tax Administration. In connection with this, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration requires a signed authority for all of its suppliers, which gives the Norwegian Public Roads Administration an expanded right to an unlimited number of times to obtain information about the tax and sub-contractor's tax and duty conditions, as stated in the authority.

If the winning tenderer does not already have a valid signed authority registered with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration/contracting authority, the authority shall be signed by the winning tenderer after the award of contract letter has been received, but before the contract is signed. The authorisation form is to be sent to the winning tenderer together with the award letter. Signed authority together with a colour copy of a passport, driving licence or national ID card (the latter for citizens within the EU/EEA/EFTA), shall be returned to the contracting authority as soon as possible and within 3 days. The date of birth can be deleted on a copy of the ID documentation, so that only the date of birth is given.

Please note that the signed authority requirement also applies for all of the main service provider's sub-suppliers. The main service provider shall fulfil the contractual obligation downwards in the supplier chain. Prior to signing the contract, however, only signed authority is required from the main supplier, unless the sub-contractor is used to fulfil a qualification requirement in the competition. If so, the signed authority must be presented from both the main supplier and the sub-supplier. Signed authority from other sub-suppliers must be submitted and approved by the contracting authority before they can be used in the contract/project.

The contracting authority draws attention to the fact that it may be necessary to reject the tenderer and any sub-suppliers who in the award letter are chosen as the winner of the competition, if, after the award, but prior to signing the contract, information will be received from the Norwegian Tax Administration regarding non fulfilment of tax and duty obligations etc. The award cannot, therefore, be considered final until there is an assessment of the obtained information that does not change the contracting authority ́s award decision.

Emphasis is put on the fact that if no authority is signed from the main supplier and any sub-suppliers used in the qualification, this could be seen as a significant reservation to the contract which will result in both the main supplier and any sub-suppliers being rejected from the competition.

The template for authorisation for tax and duty information (OSA) has been published in: https://www.vegvesen.no/fag/veg-og-gate/konkurranser-og-kontraktsdokumenter/generelle-kontraktsdokumenter/
