Evaluation
The contract will be awarded to the Bidder offering the most economical advantageous tender
based on the following award criteria:
o
Quality: 60 %
o
Price: 40 % (price technical solution 25 %, price software assurance 15 % and
adjustments 5 %)
5.1
Procedure for evaluation of quality
In the column «fulfilled» in the table in chapter 2 below, the following response alternatives
are listed: Yes/no.
The Bidder shall for each item, where required, deliver a technical description of the
functionality.
The Norwegian Armed Forces, represented by Norwegian Defence Logistics
Organisation/Communication and Information Systems (NDLO/CIS) will evaluate the
Bidders’ replies with a weight rated from 0-100 % reflecting NDLO/CIS’perception of to
which extent the requirement is fulfilled.
Where the answer(s) to the requirement(s) is yes or no, it is not necessary to document the
answer. However, if the Bidder claims to have equivalent functionality to the requirement that
qualifies, this shall be documented. The annex should be marked according to the requirement.
Each requirement is given a score from 0 to 100.
Each requirement is given a weight according to how important the requirement is for the
NDLO/CIS.
Each requirement group is given a weight according to how important the requirement group
is for the NDLO/CIS.
Criteria when awarding scores complying with the evaluation requirements are given in a
scale from 0 to 100. It is only the values 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 which
will be used.
 0 % - reply is No
 0 % - Answer is either “Yes” or “Partially” but defined by The Norwegian Armed
Forces as “No” according to the following causes:
o Functionality is not available when signing the contract
o Functionality is not according to requirement(s)
o Requirement(s) are fulfilled by options which are not a part of the offered
solution
o Requires customised solutions and is not part of the offered solution
o Failed to document how the requirement is fulfilled

10-30 % – Answer is either “Yes” or “Partially” but the bidders’ description of the
fulfilment of the requirements, is poor/unacceptable and does not cover The
Norwegian Armed Force’s needs.

description, there are significant flaws/errors according to The Norwegian Armed
Force’s requirements.

50-60 % – Answer is either “Yes” or “Partially”, but several functions do not match
requirements or not all functions are available. Those functions which are described
are satisfactory.

70-90 % – Answer is either “Yes” or “Partially”, but the bidders’ description has
minor flaws/deviations.
