5.1.10 Award criteria

Criterion :
Type : Price
Name : Price
Description : Orientation: Tenderers shall fill in the attached price form in their cost calculations and submit it as an annex to the tender in Excel format. All fields in the attached price form marked with yellow shall be completed. Missing the price fields can cause difficulties in assessing the tender and the tender can then be rejected.

The prices shall include all costs for the customer who is included in this competition.

Clarification for the completion of the price form: Only attendance price shall be paid for interceptors for sludge under 4.5 m3. For interceptors for sludge between 4.5 and 100 m3, a turnkey price + price per cubic in accordance with the tank ́s size (Technical volume) and not an actual emptied amount shall be paid. For blocked tanks of up to 6.5 m3, only a show price shall be paid. For blocked tanks above 6.5 m3, a turn-out price + price per cubic in accordance with the tank ́s size shall be paid.

The tenderer ́s total points for this award criteria is weighted with the award criterion ́s percentage of weighting.
Weight (percentage, exact) : 100
Criterion :
Type : Quality
Name : Environment
Description : The Contracting Authority uses the exclusionary provision in the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9 fourth paragraph, the first period. Alternatively, requirements are used in the requirement specifications that contribute to reducing environmental emissions and climate footprint. Transport is the element of the procurement that will clearly affect climate and the environment to the greatest degree. The contracting authority ́s assessment, also after receiving feedback through a supplier dialogue, is that the market is not mature in order to be able to award for the use of biogas and/or zero emission vehicles. There is, however, a willingness to procure this, so that it is appropriate and appropriate to make requirements in the requirement specifications to procure and use this during the contract period. Nor is there a large selection of other relevant award criteria for the environment that contribute to a good, verifiable and real environmental saving. It is therefore clear that the requirement for the tenderers' procurement and use of at least one biogas and/or zero emission vehicle, as stated in the requirement specification, provides a better climate and environmental effect than using the environment as the award criteria.
