Forsvarsmateriell
Contract award notice - Cancellation of Pre-qualification
Forsvarsmateriell has cancelled a pre-qualification for the delivery of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to a requirement that unintentionally restricted potential suppliers. The original pre-qualification sought suppliers with experience in producing Vertical TakeOff and Landing (VTOL) STUAS with a Maximum TakeOff Weight (MTOW) of up to 150kg, and required a minimum overall turnover of 250 million NOK for each of the last three years. Additionally, suppliers needed to have experience with similar contracts valued at 150 million NOK or above, or contracts supplying VTOL STUAS systems to NATO countries, or public/government contracts. Requirements also included ISO 9001:2015 certification, an information security management system, a management system for supply chain due diligence, and an environmental management system. The competition will be re-published with amended qualification requirements.
