Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Norwegian term or phrase: jf.
Dette er vel en forkortelse av "jevnfør" og kan også forkortes "jfr.".

Eksempler som jeg nå strever med:

"Anskaffelsesprosedyre:
Åpen anbudskonkurranse jf. forskrift om offentlige anskaffelser Del II § 4.1."
"Jf. pkt. 3.8 åpner oppdragsgiver for muligheten til å inngi anbud på deler av leveransen."
"Jf. pkt. 4.2 har anbyder adgang til å tilby andre modeller utover minstekravet."
"Oppdragsgiver forbeholder seg retten til å forkaste samtlige anbud hvis resultatet av anbudskonkurransen gir saklig grunn til det, jf. forskrift om offentlig anskaffelse §10-1 (2)
