📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport and Communications has established a new temporary license to Posten Norge AS. The changes are a consequence of changes in the Postal Act. In spring 2019 the Storting considered the governments proposals for amendments to the Postal Act. In this connection the Storting agreed to reduce the requirement for postal delivery services from distribution five days a week to distribution every other day during the period Monday-Friday ie delivery three days one week and two days the next week.Changed requirements for forwarding timeIn such a change it is necessary to adjust the requirements for forwarding time in Norway Posts temporary license. The requirement for delivery of 85 per cent of the mail on the first possible delivery day which to this day has been two days after submission D 2 is adjusted to D 3. The reason is that for half the mail it will take one day longer to arrive under a new arrangement.Up to now there have been demands that 97 per cent of the broadcasts should be within D 4. In a new temporary license this is changed to D 5 which is a consequence of changing requirements for postal services that are subject to delivery in the Postal Act. A requirement for D 5 means that Norway Post has two possible delivery days in each delivery area in order to achieve the requirement of 97 percent advance.Clarification on forwarding time for mail from abroadA new temporary license also includes a clarification on the forwarding time for shipments to from EEA countries. The new text clarifies that there are no more stringent requirements for processing and forwarding time for shipments from abroad than for domestic shipments. Such clarification has previously been made in a letter of transfer to Norway Post but has now been incorporated into a new temporary license.
