    <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">The procurement shall be made in accordance with the Public Procurement Act dated 17 June 2016 (LOA) and the Public Procurement Regulations (FOA) FOR 2016-08-12-974. This particularly applies to a service, cf. the procurement regulations annex 2, and the procurement is therefore regulated by the regulations parts I and II, cf. the procurement regulations § 5-1 second section letter b.  The contract will be awarded in accordance with the open tender contest procedure, cf. FOA § 8-3.

The contracting authority plans to award the contract without having a dialogue with the tenderers beyond making any clarifications/corrections. 

Dialogue through negotiations can, however, be carried out if the contracting authority, after the tenders have been received, considers it appropriate. The selection will, in such cases, be made after an assessment of the award criteria. Emphasis is put on the fact that no tenderers can expect a dialogue on their tender and must, therefore, submit their best tender.

Tenderers are strongly encouraged to follow the instructions given in this tender documentation with annexes and ask questions about uncertainties via the tender management tool (KGV) before the deadline for asking questions.</cbc:Description>

    <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">The contracting authority is the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority.

Arbeidstilsynet (The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority) is a governmental agency under Arbeids- og inkluderingsdepartementet (the Ministry of Labour and Social Inclusion), focused on occupational safety and health. The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority consists of a directorate and an outer department with six departments. 

The agency has office locations that meet entities nationwide. As of November 2024, 750 employees were divided between 22 office locations, 5 service centres for foreign workers (SUA) and 8 inter-agency centres targeting work crime.

The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority works for a high level of health, working environment and safety and controls that entities follow up on their responsibilities in the working environment regulations, c.f. the Working Environment Act § 18-1. 
The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority ́s efforts shall contribute to:
• The entities work systematically with preventive working environment, health and safety.
• The entities take care of serious and decent working conditions.
• Labour crime is uncovered and combated 

See our website for further information on the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority's organisation and activities: www.arbeidstilsynet.no.

The objective of the procurement is to enter into a contract for legal assistance for shorter or longer assignments. The contracting authority has an occasional need for legal assistance for the contracting authority ́s total activities. The need is primarily covered by internal resources, but at times external assistance can be required. Good competence is required for assistance to the public sector, and some of the aim could also be to ensure transfer of competence.

      <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">The contracting authority is the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority.

Arbeidstilsynet (The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority) is a governmental agency under Arbeids- og inkluderingsdepartementet (the Ministry of Labour and Social Inclusion), focused on occupational safety and health. The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority consists of a directorate and an outer department with six departments. 

The agency has office locations that meet entities nationwide. As of November 2024, 750 employees were divided between 22 office locations, 5 service centres for foreign workers (SUA) and 8 inter-agency centres targeting work crime.

The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority works for a high level of health, working environment and safety and controls that entities follow up on their responsibilities in the working environment regulations, c.f. the Working Environment Act § 18-1. 
The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority ́s efforts shall contribute to:
• The entities work systematically with preventive working environment, health and safety.
• The entities take care of serious and decent working conditions.
• Labour crime is uncovered and combated 

See our website for further information on the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority's organisation and activities: www.arbeidstilsynet.no.

The objective of the procurement is to enter into a contract for legal assistance for shorter or longer assignments. The contracting authority has an occasional need for legal assistance for the contracting authority ́s total activities. The need is primarily covered by internal resources, but at times external assistance can be required. Good competence is required for assistance to the public sector, and some of the aim could also be to ensure transfer of competence. Some assignments will be carried out as consultancy assignments (in accordance with SSA-O), others as consultancy services (in accordance with SSA-B).
