This procurement is considered to have an insignificant impact on climate and environment, cf. regulation §7-9, fifth paragraph. The reason for this is that the procurement concerns the purchase of advisory services where the contracting authority is prevented from influencing the climate and environmental impact, as requirements and criteria related to these elements will not have sufficient connection to the delivery, cf. DFØ's environmental guide.
The contracting authority has assessed the procurement against the apprentice regulations, cf. the Procurement Act § 7, and concluded that no requirements are set for apprentices in this procurement as it is considered disproportionate, due to the need for specialized competence that an apprentice cannot be expected to possess, cf. apprentice regulations § 6 (4).
The procedure indicated under "Type of procedure" in announcement point 2.1 is incorrect. The correct procedure shall be "Open tender competition".
