This requirement only applies to Norwegian tenderers.

Requirements: 

Tenderers must have their tax, payroll tax and VAT payments in order in accordance with the legal provisions and the tenderer must not have significant arrears.

Any arrears or other irregularities must be justified.

Documentation requirement:

Tenderers shall document the requirement through the certificate "Information on tax and duties". The certificate shall be of the type "RF-1507" and not "RF-1316".

Tenderers can order such a certificate from the Norwegian Tax Administration on behalf of their activities.

Tenderers are asked to enclose the certificate in the tender or submit it on request. The tax certificate must not be older than six months calculated from the deadline for receipt of tenders.

The tenderer is required to be credit worthy, minimum A, in accordance with Dun &amp;amp; Bradstreet ́s service riskguardian suite (https://riskguardian.bisnode.no), or have the financial capacity to execute the contract based on the contracting authority ́s discretion.

Documentation requirement:

The Contracting Authority will carry out their own assessment of the supplier's finances through RiskGuardian Suite. Tenderers can enclose other necessary information if they believe that RiskGuardian Suite does not provide a correct picture of the financial situation.

The RiskGuardian Suite service includes all Nordic countries. As a general rule, the Contracting Authority will not accept credit ratings from other company and accounting information systems than RiskGuardian Suite due to equal treatment of the tenderers. Foreign tenderers outside the Nordic countries will, however, use and accept credit appraisal through Dun &amp;amp; Bradstreet ́s service Credit (https://credit.dnb.com/).

Tenderers that the contracting authority cannot find a RiskGuardian Suite (or Credit for suppliers outside the Nordic countries), e.g. newly established tenderers who have not built up a basis for a credit rating, must enclose a declaration/guarantee from a parent company/owner/bank or similar financing institutions, regarding the company's financial and economic position.</cbc:Description>

The award criteria is weighted: 100%

Orientation:

Tenderers shall fill in the attached price form in their cost calculations and submit it as an annex to the tender in Excel format. All fields in the attached price form marked with yellow shall be completed. Missing the price fields can cause difficulties in assessing the tender and the tender can then be rejected.

All prices are in NOK, excluding VAT, including all direct or indirect expenses and duties that could be incurred in connection with the delivery. Order fees and invoice fees are to be seen as expenses. The prices shall include all costs for the customer who is included in this competition. Costs that the tenderer knows will be incurred, but that are not specifically stated in the tender, will be seen as included in the stated costs.

The estimated number of hours/assignments in the price form is approx. an estimate to have an evaluation basis on price, the actual hourly rate/assignment may deviate from this, and the contracting authority is not bound by this estimate.

Hourly rates: Invoiced from the time the assignment actually starts at the assignment agreed address

Overtime: Work beyond normal working hours 08.00-16-00

Diving team: The number in the diving team shall be in accordance with the current laws and regulations for manpower of a diving team.

Travel time and rigging: Travel time: includes travel time in boats (all types of boats) or vehicles (all types of vehicles including trailers) for all personnel from the tenderer's address to the address. Rigging: Includes freight and assembly of all the necessary equipment for the assignment in question to the agreed address. 

Mobilisation: Travel: Includes travel time in boats (all types of boats) or vehicles (all types of vehicles including trailers) for all personnel from the supplier's address to the address of the meeting place. Rigging: Includes freight and assembly of all the necessary equipment for the actual assignment to the agreed meet-up location. 

Evaluation:
The total sum from the price form will form the basis of the price evaluation.

When assessing the price, a hybrid model with break point 1 will be used. The attached template for the evaluation model is attached.

The tenderer ́s total points for this award criteria is weighted with the award criteria ́s weighting percentage.</cbc:Description>

            <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">Justification for utilising the exclusionary provision in the regulations § 7-9

The contracting authority uses the exclusionary provision in PPR § 7-9 fourth paragraph, and has replaced the award criteria with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specification. It is considered clear that this gives a better climate and environmental effect, and this is justified below.

The procurement of diving services is a service contract where the service is the actual diving work. This is a service that is strictly regulated and has high requirements for security, and in this procurement tenderers must meet strict minimum requirements for certification, equipment and security procedures. 

Most of the emissions occur in diving services from the use of vessels to and from assignments and energy use in compressors and support equipment. The factors vessels, compressors and other technical equipment are necessary to carry out the assignments in a proper manner, and the contracting authority does not believe there are real alternatives that provide significant environmental gains without this being at the cost of safety, stand-by or operative ability.

The contracting authority ́s assessment is that it is appropriate and appropriate to have requirements in the specifications of having procedures and systems that ensure a low environmental impact when carrying out the diving work, requirements for vessels and transport, requirements regarding waste handling and requirements for the use of products in the work. Furthermore, it is a requirement that meetings shall be held primarily digitally. 

It is considered that this clearly gives a better climate and environmental effect than when using award criteria.</cbc:Description>
