Zuschlagskriterien

• Price

• • •In this procurement, the environment is not weighted as an award criteria by 30%. The contracting authority has chosen to have strict minimum requirements for the environment that, according to the contracting authority ́s assessment, will give a better environmental effect than setting up the environment as an award criteria. According to the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9 (4) first period, the Contracting Authority is obliged to state a justification for this in the competition documents.
  • •In this competition, it is a requirement that the tenderer commits to only use vehicles that are either zero emission vehicles (100% battery electric or hydrogen) or biogas vehicles that as a minimum fulfil Euro class 6/VI in the execution of the contract (last transport stretch/cargo mile).
  • •In addition the tenderer is required to be obliged to deliver biofuels that are not based on palm oil or by-products from palm oil production. The bio-fuel shall meet the EU sustainability criteria cf. the regulation on limiting the use of health and environmentally hazardous chemicals and other products (the product regulations).
  • •By setting such minimum requirements, it is ensured better climate and environmental effect than by setting up the award criteria(s) associated with the environment. This is because, even with a minimum of 30 percent weighting of the environment, the price risks being decisive in the competition, and that one thus ends up without the minimum requirements that are now set for the environment.
  • •The exclusion provisions in the procurement regulations § 7-9 (4) will therefore apply».
