After tenderers have submitted their tenders in TendSign, they will receive a request from Altinn for consent to share the tax information. The consent is valid on an organisation level and is valid for 3 (three) months. If a tenderer does not give consent, the tenderer must attach a tax and VAT certificate. The certificate must not be older than 6 (six) months from the tender deadline. Any arrears or other irregularities must be justified. (Tenderers can obtain the electronic tax and VAT certificate itself and immediately receive it by email.)

The contracting authority will conduct its own assessment of the tenderer's finances through the Dun & Bradstreet/Risk Guardian Suite company and accounting information system. Credit ratings from company and accounting information systems other than Dun & Bradstreet/Risk Guardian Suite will not be accepted to ensure equal treatment of the tenderers.
