The contract award will be made following the restricted tender procedure pursuant to FOA § 13-1(1). This competition begins with a qualification phase. Only those bidders who meet the qualification requirements and have been invited will be allowed to submit bids. The contracting authority plans to invite five suppliers to submit bids. If more than five qualified suppliers submit a request to participate in the competition, the contracting authority will select among these suppliers based on the selection criteria in section 4. In the competition conducted after the qualification round is over, negotiations are not allowed. Consequently, it is not possible to change the bid after the bid deadline. Furthermore, it is noted that bids containing significant deviations from the procurement documents shall be rejected pursuant to the Public Procurement Regulations § 24-8(1) b. The contracting authority may reject bids containing deviations from the procurement documents, ambiguities, or similar that cannot be considered insignificant, cf. the regulations § 24-8(2) a. The supplier is therefore strongly encouraged to follow the instructions given in this tender document with attachments and to ask questions about any ambiguities via the contracting authority's KGV. The bid must be prepared according to the guidelines given in this tender document with attachments and submitted electronically using the contracting authority's KGV.
