Tenderers shall have sufficient experience with the delivery of network equipment from Extreme Networks, as well as service and support.

Tenderers shall also have sufficient experience with consultancy services for both Extreme Networks and Palo Alto.

Note: The requested experience can be documented through one or several reference projects. It is not a requirement that all of the experience is presented in one reference, as long as the references together document the requested experience.

Documentation requirements:

In order to document fulfilment of the qualification requirement, tenderers shall describe up to three relevant reference assignments carried out in the last three years. If it is necessary to ensure sufficient competition, the contracting authority can also take older reference assignments into consideration.

Each reference description shall be on a maximum of one A4 page and shall as a minimum contain:

• contracting authority ́s name

• name, position and contact information of a reference person at the contracting authority.

• the assignment ́s purpose and extent

The contracting authority reserves the right to contact the references.

Tenderers shall throughout the entire project implementation, have the ability to handle and store security graded information to the extent and degree level stipulated for the contract work.

Central functions at the contractor and any sub-contractors must be able to fulfil the requirements for Norwegian security clearance and authorisation.

Documentation requirements:

"Self-declaration security requirements" in signed and completed condition, see annex 14. If information is presented about the tenderers and/or their sub-suppliers who give the contracting authority reason to believe that the qualification requirement cannot be fulfilled, this can lead to rejection. In such case it may be necessary to request further documentation from the tenderers and/or that The Directorate of Public Construction and Property itself obtains further information.
