See the procurement documents for further information. ENVIRONMENT: This procurement is considered to have an immaterial impact on climate and the environment, cf. the Regulations § 7-9, fifth paragraph. The justification for this is that the procurement concerns the procurement of services where the contracting authority has been cut off from affecting the climate and environmental impact, as the requirements and criteria targeting these elements will not have sufficient connection to the delivery, cf. APPRENTICE: The contracting authority has assessed the procurement against the apprentice regulations, cf. the Procurement Act § 7 and concluded that there is no requirement for apprentices in this procurement as the contract ́s main element does not include work where it is relevant to use labour with vocational certificates or craft certificates, cf. the apprentice regulations § 6 (3).
