2.1.4 General information

Additional information : Tender conference: 15 May 2025. Justification for use of the exclusionary provision in the utilities regulations § 7-9 (5); The procurement of a framework agreement for consultancy and engineering design services for FAS is assessed to be covered by the exclusionary provision in the Utilities Regulations § 7-9 (5), in which exceptions are made from the requirement to weight climate and environment considerations with a minimum of thirty percent when the "procurement is of its nature has a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial". The nature of the procurement is consultancy services, specifically consultancy and engineering design services within building and construction (hereafter called "consultancy services"). The nature of the procurement involves the execution of quantitative and qualitative analyses (consultancy), development of systems (engineering design) etc. The consultancy service will be carried out as desk work and/or by observations/site inspections (on-site surveys). The work can include some, but typically limited travel activities. The main service is the consultant ́s work effort. In order to map the climate footprint and other forms of environmental impact from the nature of consultancy services, the contracting authority expects that a consultant ́s climate footprint and environmental impact will be equal to the load from an average permanent employee. It is, thus, the consultant ́s need for office space and office equipment, the energy consumption in the building that the relevant jobs are in, travel activities for work, and waste generation that contributes to the employee ́s climate footprint and environmental impact. The contracting authority estimates that none of the above elements fall within the nature of the procurement, which is a consultancy service. The elements connected to the nature of the procurement, i.e. the consultancy and engineering design services and the digital documents (text documents, models, drawings etc.) that shall be produced, result in immaterial climate footprint and an immaterial environmental impact. The contracting authority will, on the basis of the above, use the exclusion provisions in the supply regulations § 7-9 (5), as the procurement is of its nature has a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial. The justification for the exception provision applying to the procurement in relation to this is stated above. The contracting authority is, thus, exempted from the obligation to weight the climate and environment by 30%, cf. the supply regulations § 7-9 (2).

Reserved participation : Participation is not reserved.
Procurement Project not financed with EU Funds.
The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) : yes
Additional information : Tender conference: 15 May 2025. Justification for use of the exclusionary provision in the utilities regulations § 7-9 (5); The procurement of a framework agreement for consultancy and engineering design services for FAS is assessed to be covered by the exclusionary provision in the Utilities Regulations § 7-9 (5), in which exceptions are made from the requirement to weight climate and environment considerations with a minimum of thirty percent when the "procurement is of its nature has a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial". The nature of the procurement is consultancy services, specifically consultancy and engineering design services within building and construction (hereafter called "consultancy services"). The nature of the procurement involves the execution of quantitative and qualitative analyses (consultancy), development of systems (engineering design) etc. The consultancy service will be carried out as desk work and/or by observations/site inspections (on-site surveys). The work can include some, but typically limited travel activities. The main service is the consultant ́s work effort. In order to map the climate footprint and other forms of environmental impact from the nature of consultancy services, the contracting authority expects that a consultant ́s climate footprint and environmental impact will be equal to the load from an average permanent employee. It is, thus, the consultant ́s need for office space and office equipment, the energy consumption in the building that the relevant jobs are in, travel activities for work, and waste generation that contributes to the employee ́s climate footprint and environmental impact. The contracting authority estimates that none of the above elements fall within the nature of the procurement, which is a consultancy service. The elements connected to the nature of the procurement, i.e. the consultancy and engineering design services and the digital documents (text documents, models, drawings etc.) that shall be produced, result in immaterial climate footprint and an immaterial environmental impact. The contracting authority will, on the basis of the above, use the exclusion provisions in the supply regulations § 7-9 (5), as the procurement is of its nature has a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial. The justification for the exception provision applying to the procurement in relation to this is stated above. The contracting authority is, thus, exempted from the obligation to weight the climate and environment by 30%, cf. the supply regulations § 7-9 (2).
