SUM IKS intends to accept that Steco AS will enter into the existing contract for the delivery of C1 refuse collection vehicle, signed after an open tender contest announced in accordance with the procurement regulation part III 05.11.25. With Doffin-ID 2025-115966.The background is that the original contract party, Steco Miljø AS, was registered dissolved 13.04.2026, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Act. The contracting authority has assessed that the terms for supplier changes in accordance with the procurement regulations § 28-1, the first section, letter e, are fulfilled. Emphasis has been put on the following in the assessment: Steco AS continues to a considerable degree the activity that was previously run by Steco Miljø AS. Central employees and key persons with responsibility for engineering design, assembly, documentation and follow-up of equivalent deliveries have been continued to Steco AS. Steco AS has documented access to the necessary competence, personnel and organisational resources to fulfil the contract. The contracting authority has assessed that Steco AS fulfils the original qualification requirements that were set in the competition. No significant changes are made to the content, scope, price or other central terms of the contract. The contracting authority does not have any basis for the change of supplier occurring in order to bypass the procurement regulations. The contracting authority has emphasised that only one tender was received in the original competition. Based on this, the contracting authority ́s assessment is that the change of supplier can be implemented in accordance with the procurement regulations § 28-1 first, section letter e, without implementation of a new competition. The additional contract where Steco AS enters as the new tenderer will be signed after the waiting period expires, where the waiting period is set to 6 July 2026.
