Individual purchases over 100.000

Contract award

When the tenders have been evaluated and any eventual negotiations completed, The Procurement Section will inform all involved suppliers in writing of the contract award. This is done before the contract is concluded. The "letter of contract award" must justify the choice of supplier by accounting for the winning tenders characteristics and relative advantages in accordance with the award criterias.

Standstill period

The contract can not be concluded/signed until the end of the standstill period. For purchases over NOK 1.1 million excl. VAT a minimum of 10 days stansdstill is required counting from the day after the letter of contract award has been sent. The requirement for a standstill period does not apply for purchases under 1.1 millioner or when the chosen supplier is the only supplier involved.

Signing of the contract

The contract is usually to be signed by the supplier first, by your leder second and by the head of the Procurement section lastly (Kjetil Skog). The contract period does not start running until the last signature has been collected.
