The Contracting Authority has, with reference to the exception in the procurement regulations §13-4 b. point 2, intends to enter into an ongoing contract with Loopfront AS for the purchase of their re-use platform. The contract ́s value is estimated to be between NOK 600,000 - 1.2 million, excluding VAT over 4 years. If someone would like to appeal the intention notice, this can be done for up to 10 days from the day after the notice has been published. If the contracting authority does not receive appeals by this deadline, it will be free to sign the contract with Loopfront AS.
