Zuschlagskriterien

• Price

• Quality

• Climate and environment

• • •Justification for exceptions from the main rule on 30 % weighting of environment
  • •A framework agreement for the procurement of building materials involves considerable environmental impact, not least from raw material extraction and production.
  • •In order to limit the impact of the environment, the contracting authority uses an award criteria that rewards environmentally labelled products. Environmental labels such as the Swan Label give us products with requirements for energy consumption, recycled or renewable materials, less harmful chemicals and good quality. Raw material labels such as FSC and PEFC contribute to sustainable forestry. The number of sales locations is included in the award criterion for quality, and this will have an environmental effect as several sales outlets can reduce travel distances and thereby reduce emissions when municipal employees drive to collect goods.
  • •The environmental criterium is weighted 20% and is supplemented with environmentally based minimum requirements for delivery of goods and packaging, and a ban on tropical wood. Good quality is important in order to contribute to a longer lifetime and therefore less need to buy new, and therefore there are minimum requirements for quality that will have a positive environmental effect. In addition there is a qualification requirement that the tenderer must have an environmental management system.
  • •The contracting authority has held a market dialogue which suggests that the market is ripe to meet the minimum requirements. If the environmental minimum requirements, including quality requirements, had been turned into criteria, we could risk that low price trumpet the environment and quality, and we therefore believe that it is likely that the minimum requirements provide better environmental effect.
  • •Regarding environmental labels, we believe it is appropriate to use an award criterion. Bergen municipality would like to stimulate increased use of environmental labels and it sees an award criteria as suitable in this competition.
  • •By using the environment as the award criterion weighted 20% and an award criterion of quality that rewards shorter travel distances, combined with various minimum requirements for environment and quality, we believe to meet the requirements of the Procurement Act § 5b.
