  • •Weighting:
  • •The award criteria is weighted 70%.
  • •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, including the procurement commission. 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.
  • •Definition of cost price:
  • •If the supplier even produces the item, the cost price is what it costs to produce the item. Then costs such as the purchase of raw materials and costs that apply to the production itself, such as electricity, labour and so on, will be included in the cost price.
  • •If the item is purchased externally, then it is the tenderer's purchase price plus freight etc. (in to the supplier), minus any discounts/bonuses, which make up the item's cost price. Can also be referred to as intake food.
  • •Purchase of iOS tablets:
  • •The price mark-up in % of the offered cost price is fixed in the contract period. The contracting authority shall have the same price mark-up in % on cost prices on other tablets that the tenderer has in their iOS portfolio.
  • •Operational leasing of iOS tablets:
  • •The price mark-up in % of the offered cost price is fixed in the contract period. The contracting authority shall have the same price mark-up in % on cost prices on other tablets that the tenderer has in their iOS portfolio.
  • •The leasing agreement shall be salvage based (operational leasing) and the tenderer shall state the remaining value-%in the price form in the price form. This is calculated based on the financed amount (the offered cost price per item + price mark-up%).
  • •The "total interest" shall include 3 months. Nibor (4.58%) + the tenderer's interest rate mark-up.
  • •"Total hire sum per 36 months" shall include covers, all-risk full insurance and life cycle management of the products, i.e. hire, management, return, service and annulment.
  • •Emphasis is put on the fact that the offered price mark-up %, remaining value % and total interest (Nibor can vary, but the tenderer's interest rate mark-up is fixed) is fixed in the contract period.
  • •Accessories (option):
  • •All-risk full insurance (12 months) can be offered for the procurement of tablets.
  • •We would like tenderers to offer a fixed price mark-up in % on the cost price for accessories to tablets for which a tender is submitted. Accessories means chargers, car chargers, covers, keyboards etc. The customer shall be offered the same price mark-up for other accessories.
  • •Tenderers shall be able to offer an hourly rate for repairs beyond warranty and claims.
  • •Tenderers shall be able to offer marking and assembly of covers on tablets before dispatching to the customer.
  • •If product lines in the price form are submitted blank/not filled in, they will be filled in with the highest unit price offered for this product line + 10%. If more than 5% of the product lines lack a price indication, it will be seen as a significant deviation and lead to a tender being rejected in it's entirety.
  • •Tactical pricing:
  • •Tactical pricing of products and services is not allowed in the competition. Tactically priced tenders will be rejected. Tactical pricing is defined as instances where suppliers deliberately exploit errors and weaknesses in the tender documentation to achieve greater profits, including disproportionately high prices for products and services that have not directly been subject to evaluation.
  • •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 best price will achieve the highest score (10) and other solutions will be awarded a point score in accordance with the evaluation model.
  • •The tenderer ́s total points for this award criteria is weighted with the award criteria ́s weighting percentage.

• Environment

  • •The contracting authority uses the exclusion provisions in PPR § 7-9 fourth paragraph, and has replaced the award criteria in accordance with the second link 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 contracting authority has assessed climate and environmental considerations in the procurement in accordance with PPR § 7-9. The contracting authority has identified that the most relevant climate and environmental impacts in this procurement are related to the product lifecycle, including environmental certification or equivalent documented environmental properties, updating support and lifetime, coordinated delivery and requirements for model changes in the contract period.
  • •The contracting authority therefore assesses that the climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specifications clearly give better climate and environmental effect than weighting climate and environment as the award criterion. The requirements ensure that all the offered products and deliveries fulfil a fixed minimum level, regardless of which tenderer is awarded the contract.
  • •The requirements are assessed as proportional, relevant and connected to the contract object.

• Quality

  • •Weighting:
  • •The award criteria is weighted 30%.
  • •See the requirement form for underweight.

  • •Evaluation:
  • •This award criteria will be assessed based on the tenderer ́s description of the award criteria. When evaluating, a procurement professional assessment will be made of the described solution requirement marked "T".
