Norvège – Services d'audit – Audit Services

The competition is for a new audit contract for Andøy municipality and Andøy Havn KF. The contract is for auditing accounts, performance audits and ownership control. The value of the procurement is estimated to be above the EEA threshold.

The volume is an estimate and is not binding for the contracting authority. See the procurement documents for further information. The contracting authority reserves the right to cancel the competition, i.a. in connection with budgetary coverage and political approval.

The choice of auditor shall be approved by the municipal council. 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 consultancy services where the contracting authority is unable to influence climate and environmental impact, as the requirements and criteria that are directed against these elements will not have sufficient connection to the delivery, cf.

DFØ's environmental supervisor. The contracting authority has assessed the procurement against the apprentice regulations, c.f. the Procurement Act § 7, and concluded that there is no requirement for apprentices in this procurement as it is considered disproportionately, because there is a need for specialised competence that an apprentice cannot be expected to hold, cf. the apprentice regulation § 6 (4).
