5.1.6 General information

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 : In section II.2.8 of the announcement, "Duration of the contract, framework agreement, or dynamic purchasing system," the procurement tool allows the contracting authority to select the duration in the form of a timeframe or an exact date. Due to an error in the procurement tool, selecting "timeframe" requires specifying an exact date, while choosing "exact date" allows a timeframe (in months) to be selected. Therefore, the contracting authority is forced to choose an exact date, though there is no specific start date, only a duration in the form of a timeframe (months/years). If more than five (5) suppliers meet the minimum qualification requirements, Statnett SF will rank the suppliers and invite the five (5) suppliers who best meet the selection criterion for reduction of the number of qualified candidates. Statnett SF reserves the right to reduce the number of offers for negotiation, cf. FYF § 19-12. An initial reduction may occur before the negotiations. The reduction will be based on the stated award criteria.

5.1.9 Selection criteria

Criterion :
Type : Suitability to pursue the professional activity
Name : Doffin stops the publication if there are not fewer than 400 characters in this field. It is impossible to provide sufficient information within this limit, and it is therefore necessary to refer to the tender documentation for information about several of the qualification requirements and the associated documentation requirements, which should have been provided in this field.
The criteria will be used to select the candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure
Criterion :
Type : Economic and financial standing
Name : Selection Criterion G: Financial Capacity. The supplier must have sufficient financial capacity to execute the contract (i.e., sound financial standing).
Description : a) Credit Rating Report: The credit rating must not be older than 3 months. A definition of the symbols used by the credit rating agency must be attached to allow Statnett SF to compare different ratings. b) Alternatively: a. Annual Report for the Last Three Years, including financial statements, notes, and auditor’s report. The financial statements must include the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. b. Interim Reports, including financial statements (income statement and balance sheet), if more than six months have passed since the last annual financial statement and if available. c. Any Other Information relevant to the company's financial figures (significant events after the last balance sheet date). If the supplier has valid reasons for not providing the requested documentation, they may demonstrate their economic and financial capacity by submitting any other document deemed suitable by the contracting authority. If the supplier relies on the capacity of other entities to meet the economic and financial capacity requirements, they must submit a credit rating and extracts from the annual accounts of those entities. This documentation must meet the requirements in points a) – c) above. Furthermore, the Supplier must document to the Customer that they have control over the relevant and necessary resources of the entity, for example, by providing a declaration of commitment. Please note that the Customer is free to obtain credit information from credit rating agencies on their own initiative if needed.
The criteria will be used to select the candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure
