Zuschlagskriterien

• Assignment comprehension

• • •According to the Public Procurement Act § 5 b, climate and environmental considerations shall as a main rule be weighted at least 30 percent in public procurements. The obligation does not apply if the procurement, in accordance with nature, has a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial, or if climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specifications are assessed to provide better climate and environmental effect.
  • •When assessing the exception, emphasis has been put on the nature of the services that are procured through the framework agreement. The services mainly consist of consultancy, assessments, document production and other knowledge based service provision. There is not much transport need to be expected beyond participation in occasional meetings and site inspections. The Product component in the agreement is approximately non-existent.
  • •The assessment in accordance with the Public Procurement Act § 5 b must be based on the actual procured service, including the climate and environmental impact connected to the execution of the service and its value chain. In this concrete procurement, the services are assessed in accordance with nature to have an immaterial climate footprint and an immaterial environmental impact. The assessment is connected to the consultancy and review business that is actually procured and not to any indirect effects that can later result from other decisions made on the basis of the deliveries. Based on this, the terms for exceptions are considered met. See also DFØ ́s guidelines for procurements that have immaterial climate footprint and environmental impact, as well as other case law, e.g. the KOFA cases 2024/1422 and 2025/0801.
