Tilbudsavvik

Tilbudsavvik refers to a situation where there is a deviation or discrepancy from a submitted offer or bid in a tender process. This can occur in various contexts, most commonly in procurement and construction projects. When a supplier or contractor submits a bid, they are making a formal offer to provide goods or services at a specified price and under certain conditions. A tilbudsavvik arises if the subsequent actions, documentation, or performance of that supplier or contractor do not align with the original offer.

Such deviations can manifest in several ways. For instance, the final price might differ from the quoted price due to unstated additional costs or an error in the original calculation. The scope of work or the quality of the delivered goods or services might not match the specifications outlined in the tender documents. Alternatively, delays in delivery or project completion that were not part of the agreed-upon timeline can also constitute a tilbudsavvik.

Addressing tilbudsavvik typically involves a review and comparison of the initial offer against the actual performance or outcome. Depending on the severity and nature of the deviation, parties may engage in negotiations to resolve the differences. In some cases, contractual clauses may specify remedies for such discrepancies, which could include price adjustments, termination of the contract, or legal action. The specific procedures and consequences of a tilbudsavvik are often governed by contract law and the terms and conditions of the tender itself.
