What are the scoring selection criteria?

Bidders must demonstrate the necessary reliability, financial and economic standing (suitability), and technical and professional competence (capability) to fulfil the contract in terms of the selection criteria. Bidders' know-how, capacity and reliability to fulfil the contract will also be assessed on the basis of the information and evidence submitted in response to questionnaires.

Only bids from bidders who fulfil these selection criteria will be shortlisted for assessment.

The shortlisted bids are evaluated on the basis of the award criteria (bidders’ responses to the award criteria questionnaire) and the contract awarded to the most economically advantageous bid. The award criteria include in particular price, operating costs, technical merits, environmental aspects, delivery/completion dates, technical and financial guarantees offered and compliance with warranty requirements.
