Award criteria\n Criterion:\n Type: Price\n Description: Price\n Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)\n Award criterion number: 100\n Criterion:\n Type: Quality\n Description: The procurement is for chemicals and chemicals for water treatment at municipal\n waterworks and treatment plants. The products ́ primary function is to clean drinking water and\n prevent discharge to waterways. The products are industrial chemicals with a fixed\n composition regulated by product standards and the drinking water regulations. The\n contracting authority does not have the possibility to influence the product design, production\n process or climate footprint through its requirement specifications. There is, therefore, not a\n real basis for differentiating between tenderers on an environment based award criteria for the\n products. Transport and logistics connected to the delivery of the products is the part of the\n delivery that the contracting authority can influence. The contracting authority has therefore\n chosen to set minimum requirements that all distribution shall occur with vehicles that as a\n minimum fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard and that the vehicles shall not be left unnecessary\n when idling for delivery. The contracting authority has determined that electrical operation of\n the vehicles cannot be required, as distribution of treatment chemicals to partly remote\n installations, under varying conditions and in extraordinary events, requirements for range and\n operational safety such as electric heavy vehicles at the time of publication cannot be met.\n The contracting authority deems that consideration to security of supplies and stand-by for\n socially critical water infrastructure is a justifiable and proportional justification for utilising the\n exception in FF § 7-9 (3) in this procurement.\n Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)\n Award criterion number: 0\n 5.1.11.

Selection criteria\n Sources of selection criteria: Notice\n Criterion: Enrolment in a relevant professional register\n Description of selection criterion: Tenderers shall be registered in a company register,\n professional register or registered in a commerce register in the country where the tenderer is\n established. Documentation requirements: * Norwegian companies: Company Registration\n Certificate * Foreign companies: Verification that the tenderer is registered in a company\n register, professional register or a commerce register in the country where the tenderer is\n established.\n Criterion: Other economic or financial requirements\n Description of selection criterion: Tenderers must have sufficient economic and financial\n capacity to be able to fulfil the contract. Creditworthiness with no requirement for collateral will\n be sufficient to meet the requirement. Documentation requirements: * Credit evaluation/rating,\n not older than 3 months, based on the last known fiscal figures. * Credit appraisal/rating shall\n be carried out by a credit rating company that has public certification (licence) to conduct this\n service. * Credit evaluation/rating shall confirm that the tenderer has a minimum of credit\n worthiness of A, in accordance with the AAA rating system at Bisnode or equivalent. * Sole\n proprietorships must submit a credit rating of the sole proprietorship, or by themselves as an\n individual. The contracting authority reserves the right to obtain further credit ratings or other\n financial information that, but not limited to, annual financial statements including notes, the\n board's annual reports and auditor's reports.\n 5.1.10. Award criteria\n Criterion:\n Type: Price\n Description: Price\n Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)\n Award criterion number: 100\n Criterion:\n Type: Quality\n Description: The procurement is for chemicals and chemicals for water treatment at municipal\n waterworks and treatment plants. The products ́ primary function is to clean drinking water and\n prevent discharge to waterways. The products are industrial chemicals with a fixed\n composition regulated by product standards and the drinking water regulations. The\n contracting authority does not have the possibility to influence the product design, production\n process or climate footprint through its requirement specifications. There is, therefore, not a\n real basis for differentiating between tenderers on an environment based award criteria for the\n products. Transport and logistics connected to the delivery of the products is the part of the\n delivery that the contracting authority can influence. The contracting authority has therefore\n chosen to set minimum requirements that all distribution shall occur with vehicles that as a\n minimum fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard and that the vehicles shall not be left unnecessary\n when idling for delivery. The contracting authority has determined that electrical operation of\n the vehicles cannot be required, as distribution of treatment chemicals to partly remote\n installations, under varying conditions and in extraordinary events, requirements for range and\n operational safety such as electric heavy vehicles at the time of publication cannot be met.\n The contracting authority deems that consideration to security of supplies and stand-by for\n socially critical water infrastructure is a justifiable and proportional justification for utilising the\n exception in FF § 7-9 (3) in this procurement.\n Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)\n Award criterion number: 0\n 5.1.11.
