2.1.4 Generelle oplysninger

Yderligere oplysninger: Participation in the tendering procedure may only take place by electronic means via\n the electronic tendering system used by the contracting entity, see the address above.\n For access to the tender documents, the candidate must be registered or register as\n a user. If the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest\n uploaded version will apply. All communication in connection with the tender procedure,\n including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering\n system. The Contracting entity would prefer that questions regarding prequalification\n are submitted within 5th April 2024 at 23.59. Interested operators are requested to\n keep updated via the electronic tendering system. The candidate must submit as its\n application an ESPD as preliminary documentation of the circumstances set out in section\n 148(1), cf. section 12 of Ministerial Order on procurement by entities operating in\n the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (implementeringsbekendtgørelsen\n - “the Danish Implementing Order”). In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the\n technical and/or financial capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements\n stated in section “Selection Criteria” in this Tender form. The operator(s) making\n its/their technical and/or financial capacity available to the candidate must sign\n a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed\n as an attachment to the tender specifications. The candidate must also submit a letter\n of commitment in which the entity/entities on which the candidate relies has/have\n undertaken joint and several liability with the candidate if the candidate is awarded\n the framework agreement. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications.\n The candidate will be excluded from participation in the tendering procedure if the\n candidate is subject to the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 134\n a, 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act and the grounds for exclusion\n set out in section 137(1), para 2 and para 3 and para 5 and para 6, cf. section 11(1),\n para. (1) of the Danish Implementing Order, unless the candidate has submitted sufficient\n documentation for its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, cf. section 11(1), para. (2) of the Danish Implementing Order. The\n voluntary grounds for exclusion are applied in compliance with the principle of proportionality.\n Hence, trivial matters cannot result in the exclusion of the candidate. Several matters\n which, individually, are less serious in nature may, however, give rise to exclusion\n of the candidate. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting\n entity intends to award the framework agreement must provide documentation of the\n information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 150-155, cf. section 12 of\n the Danish Implementing Order (implementeringsbekendtgørelsen). As an alternative\n to the documentation mentioned in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, the applicant and tenderer may submit to the contracting entity a\n certificate of registration in an official list of approved economic operators, see\n section 156, issued by the competent authority. The contracting entity only accepts\n certificates of registration in an official list from applicants and tenderers established\n in the country holding the official list. In the event of changes to the composition\n of the tenderer, the provisions of section 147 of the Danish Public Procurement Act\n will apply in their entirety. It is noted that the procurement is subject to Regulation\n (EU) No. 2022/2560 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022\n on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market. As part of their application,\n applicants are from 12 October 2023, obliged to submit a notification/declaration\n concerning any financial contributions received from third countries, see Article\n 29 of the Regulation. Prequalified applicants will be obliged to update the notification/declaration\n upon submission of tender. The ESPD is available via the electronic tendering system.\n It is not necessary for the Candidate to sign the ESPD document. For groups of operators\n (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for each participating economic\n operator. Where the Candidate is a group of operators, the ESPD document of each participant\n in the group must be signed by the participant in question. The Candidate heading\n the group and submitting the application is not required to sign its ESPD document.\n If the Candidate relies on the capacity of other entities, an ESPD must be submitted\n for and signed by each of the entities on which the Candidate relies. The value stated\n in the section “Value” is the estimated value of the deliverables under the framework\n agreement. The contracting entity’s estimate of the estimated value of the framework\n agreement is based on a historical consumption. The total maximum value of the deliverables\n to be delivered under the framework agreement is DKK 60.000.000,00. The difference\n between the estimated value and the maximum value is due to the uncertainty of the\n final value of the framework agreement. The estimated value thus reflects the contracting\n entity’s estimate of the expected purchase under the framework agreement, whereas\n the maximum value reflects the highest value of all contracts to be performed within\n the term of the framework agreement. This takes into account, partly, the contracting\n entity’s expectations based on the most likely purchase under the framework agreement,\n partly, the expected uncertainty of such estimate. In relation to the estimated value,\n particular attention is drawn to the fact that the tenderers are not guaranteed any\n minimum purchase under the framework agreement, and the estimate is therefore no undertaking\n on the part of the contracting entity to make a minimum purchase under the framework\n agreement. It is specifically pointed out to the tenderer that the tenderer is bound\n by the prices offered, irrespective of the turnover specifically achieved under the\n framework agreement. This means that the tenderer is also bound by the prices offered\n if the specific turnover deviates from the estimated value, both upwards and downwards.\n The contracting entity may ask the candidate to supplement, specify or complete the\n application pursuant to Article 76, para. (4) of the Utilities Directive if the application\n or tender does not meet the formal requirements of the tender documents. For information\n on the process of the negotiations, reference is made to the tender specifications\n and the related Annex B and C. The Contracting Entity will pay no remuneration for\n participating. The contracting entity reserves the right to award based on the initial\n tender. Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as later amended\n which applies for the tender procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against\n award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian controlled companies etc. (reference\n is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the exact delimitation of the actors covered\n by the prohibition). The contracting entity may at any time during the tender process\n require that the economic operators prove that they are not covered by the prohibition,\n for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation regarding\n the economic operators’ and any subcontractors’ place of establishment and ownership.\n The framework agreement for which tenders are invited is not divided into lots for\n the following reason: Based on the financial circumstances, the Contracting Entity\n has estimated that more favorable prices can be achieved with one overall framework\n agreement. Out of consideration for the quality and coherence of the collected assignment\n for which tenders are invited, it is found expedient to have one overall framework\n agreement, as a division into lots, based on market conditions, is not assessed to\n give additional enterprises – including SMEs – the opportunity to submit tenders.\n Q&A As stated in the tender specifications, all communication between the tenderer\n and the contracting entity and submission of tenders must be through the electronic\n tendering system. The electronic tendering system is accessed via the link www.mercell.com.\n Mercell customer support can be contacted by telephone at: +45 63133700. Questions\n asked will be answered if they are received in time for the contracting entity to\n obtain the information required and communicate the answers within six days before\n expiry of the deadline for submission of tender. Questions received later than six\n days before expiry of the deadline for submission of tender cannot be expected to\n be answered, unless the deadline for submission of tender is also postponed, see Act\n Article 66(3) of the Utilities Directive. Shortlisting After receipt of initial tenders,\n the contracting entity will conduct a short listing of the tenderers who have submitted\n an initial tender in due time by identifying the four (4) tenders who offers the best\n price-quality ratio in accordance with procedure described in Appendix A – Tender\n evaluation. Those four (4) tenderers will then be invited for individual negotiation\n meetings in accordance with procedure described in Appendix C – Negotiation plan.\n The negotiations will be conducted in accordance with the principle of equal treatment,\n and all tenderers will be given the same amount of time for negotiations with the\n contracting entity. If deemed necessary, the contracting entity may ask the tenderers\n to sub-mit revised initial tenders after the negotiation round based on the initial\n tenders. In the contracting entity's invitation to the tenderers to submit final tender,\n the contracting entity will set a deadline for questions regarding submission of final\n tender.

Beskrivelse: Kun for så vidt angår offentlige vareindkøbskontrakter: I referenceperioden har den\n økonomiske aktør leveret følgende betydelige leverancer af den anførte type. Ordregivende\n myndigheder kan kræve op til tre års erfaring og tillade, at der tages hensyn til\n erfaring, som ikke er indhøstet inden for de seneste tre år. - A list of the 3 most\n significant comparable supplies, see Tender form “Description of the procurement -\n Description” and “Lots – Lots 1 – Description” (former sections II.1.4 and II.2.4),\n that the candidate has carried out in the last 3 year(s) before the expiry of the\n application deadline. No minimum requirement is set. Only references relating to supplies\n carried out at the time of application will be given importance in the evaluation\n of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries. Hence, in the case\n of an ongoing task, only the part of the supplies already performed at the time of\n application will be included in the evaluation of the reference. Each reference is\n requested to include a brief description of the deliveries made. The description of\n the delivery should include a clear description of the supplies set out in Tender\n form “Description of the procurement - Description” and “Lots – Lots 1 – Description”\n (former sections II.1.4 and II.2.4) to which the delivery related and the candidate's\n role(s) in the performance of the delivery. The reference is furthermore requested\n to include the financial value of the delivery (amount), the date of delivery and\n the name of the customer (recipient). When indicating the date of the delivery, the\n candidate is requested to indicate the date when the delivery was commenced and finalized.\n If this is not possible, e.g. if the tasks were performed on an ongoing basis under\n a framework agreement, the candidate is asked to indicate in the description of the\n delivery how the date is specified. No more than 3 references may be stated, irrespective\n of whether the candidate is a single operator, whether the candidate relies on the\n technical capacities of other entities, or whether the candidate is a group of operators\n (e.g. a consortium). The shortlisting of candidates invited to tender will be based\n on an evaluation of which candidates have the most relevant deliveries, of the supplies\n covered by the framework agreement, see the description in Tender form “Description\n of the procurement - Description” and “Lots – Lots 1 – Description.” The evaluation\n of the most relevant deliveries will be made based on the following: Whether the references\n are regarding deliveries within the Utility sector Whether the references are exact\n to or reasonably comparable to requested in Tender form “Description of the procurement\n - Description” and “Lots – Lots 1 – Description The assessment of each of the candidate’s\n references is summarized into an overall assessment of all the candidate’s references.\n The overall assessment of the Candidate's references determines the selection of tenderers.\n The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate's complies with the\n selection criterion. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting\n entity intends to award the framework agreement must submit documentation that the\n information stated in the ESPD is accurate. No additional documentation of technical\n and professional capacity will be required from the candidate. However, the contracting\n entity reserves the right to contact the customer stated in the reference for confirmation\n of the information stated in the reference.

Kriterium:

Type: Pris

Navn: Price

Beskrivelse: Evaluated based on the overall price for evaluation purposes (referred to in the following\n as the \"evaluation-technical price\"). The overall evaluation-technical price is calculated\n as a total cost of the forecast volume of the tender. With regard to the financial\n sub-criterion ”Price,” each tender will be awarded points in accordance with a financial\n framework. The evaluation will be based on an evaluation-technical price calculated\n as stated in Appendix 3 – Price list, as the total estimated sum of gas meters and\n additional components in the term of the framework agreement. The financial framework\n is lowest price + 50%. The compliant tender with the lowest evaluation-technical price\n is awarded the highest number of points on the scale (maximum points). Tenders with\n an evaluation-technical price that exactly matches the financial framework (lowest\n price + 50 %) or exceeds this framework are awarded the lowest number of points on\n the scale (minimum points). Tenders with an evaluation-technical price that lies within\n the financial framework are awarded points by linear interpolation: Points by linear\n interpolation= Maximum points-(((maximum points-minimum points))/gradient)*((price\n of tender-lowest price))/(lowest price) In the formula, price of tender constitutes\n the evaluation-technical price of the tender in question which, using the formula,\n is awarded points by linear interpolation; lowest price is the evaluation-technical\n price of the compliant tender offering the lowest price; and the gradient is the addition\n to the lowest price on which the financial framework is based. The graph below illustrates\n the contracting entity's award of points in accordance with the financial framework\n scoring model. If half or more of the compliant tenders received lie outside the financial\n framework, the financial framework will be increased to the lowest price + 50 %. Then\n new points in accordance with the new financial framework will be awarded. If half\n or more of the compliant tenders received still lie outside the financial framework\n after the in-crease, see above, the financial framework will be further increased\n to lowest price + 75 %. Then new points in accordance with the new financial framework\n will be awarded. The financial framework will not be increased any further. This also\n applies even if half or more of the compliant tenders received lie outside the financial\n framework after the second increase of the frame-work. The graph below illustrates\n how the contracting entity will award new points when this correction mod-el applies.\n After the financial framework has been increased, all tenders will lie within the\n framework, and the framework will not be increased any further.

Type: Kvalitet

Navn: Quality

Beskrivelse: Evaluated based on the following sub-sub-criteria: • Tamper sealing options (5%) •\n Temperature (15%) • Lifespan of the gas meters (15%) • Signal output (15%) • Packing\n and shipment (10%) • Warranty (20%) • Quality assurance procedure (15%) • Support\n (5%) The percentage rates indicate the weighting of each sub-criterion in the tender\n evaluation. The weighting of the sub-sub-criteria under each sub-criterion is the\n weighing indicated. With regard to the qualitative sub-criterion “Quality”, each tender\n will be awarded points in accordance with a qualitative evaluation. The qualitative\n evaluation will be performed for each sub-sub-criterion under the qualitative sub-criterion.\n The qualitative evaluation will be performed in accordance with the evaluation basis\n of the sub-sub-criterion in question, see Appendix 2 – Evaluation sheet. The qualitative\n evaluation will be based on the following descriptive scale: Excellent (10 points)\n Extremely satisfactory (9 points) Very satisfactory (8 points) Above satisfactory\n (7 points) A little above satisfactory (6 points) Satisfactory (5 point) A little\n below satisfactory (4 points) Below satisfactory (3 points) Less than satisfactory\n (2 points) Not satisfactory (1 point) With the qualitative evaluation, the contracting\n entity will award the number of points that corresponds to the evaluation on the descriptive\n scale. Only whole points will be awarded, i.e. no decimals. The number of points awarded\n in accordance with a sub-sub-criterion will be included with the weighting of the\n sub-sub-criterion in the calculation of the overall number of points awarded to the\n qualitative sub-criterion to which the sub-sub-criterion belongs. The total number\n of points awarded to the qualitative sub-criterion is calculated using the following\n formula: Points for subcriterion=(((Points for sub-sub-criterion 1 x@Weighting of\n sub-sub-criterion 1))+((Points for sub-sub-criterion 2x@Weighting of sub-sub-criterion\n 2))+⋯+ ((Points for sub-sub-criterion 8 x@Weighting of sub-sub-criterion 8)))/(Sum\n of weightings of sub-sub-criteria) At sub-criterion level, the overall number of points\n may consist of a decimal numeral. The decimal numeral will not be rounded when identifying\n the tender with the best price-quality ratio.

2.1.4 General information

Additional information: Participation in the tendering procedure may only take place by electronic means via\n the electronic tendering system used by the contracting entity, see the address above.\n For access to the tender documents, the candidate must be registered or register as\n a user. If the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest\n uploaded version will apply. All communication in connection with the tender procedure,\n including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering\n system. The Contracting entity would prefer that questions regarding prequalification\n are submitted within 5th April 2024 at 23.59. Interested operators are requested to\n keep updated via the electronic tendering system. The candidate must submit as its\n application an ESPD as preliminary documentation of the circumstances set out in section\n 148(1), cf. section 12 of Ministerial Order on procurement by entities operating in\n the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (implementeringsbekendtgørelsen\n - “the Danish Implementing Order”). In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the\n technical and/or financial capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements\n stated in section “Selection Criteria” in this Tender form. The operator(s) making\n its/their technical and/or financial capacity available to the candidate must sign\n a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed\n as an attachment to the tender specifications. The candidate must also submit a letter\n of commitment in which the entity/entities on which the candidate relies has/have\n undertaken joint and several liability with the candidate if the candidate is awarded\n the framework agreement. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications.\n The candidate will be excluded from participation in the tendering procedure if the\n candidate is subject to the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 134\n a, 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act and the grounds for exclusion\n set out in section 137(1), para 2 and para 3 and para 5 and para 6, cf. section 11(1),\n para. (1) of the Danish Implementing Order, unless the candidate has submitted sufficient\n documentation for its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, cf. section 11(1), para. (2) of the Danish Implementing Order. The\n voluntary grounds for exclusion are applied in compliance with the principle of proportionality.\n Hence, trivial matters cannot result in the exclusion of the candidate. Several matters\n which, individually, are less serious in nature may, however, give rise to exclusion\n of the candidate. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting\n entity intends to award the framework agreement must provide documentation of the\n information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 150-155, cf. section 12 of\n the Danish Implementing Order (implementeringsbekendtgørelsen). As an alternative\n to the documentation mentioned in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, the applicant and tenderer may submit to the contracting entity a\n certificate of registration in an official list of approved economic operators, see\n section 156, issued by the competent authority. The contracting entity only accepts\n certificates of registration in an official list from applicants and tenderers established\n in the country holding the official list. In the event of changes to the composition\n of the tenderer, the provisions of section 147 of the Danish Public Procurement Act\n will apply in their entirety. It is noted that the procurement is subject to Regulation\n (EU) No. 2022/2560 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022\n on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market. As part of their application,\n applicants are from 12 October 2023, obliged to submit a notification/declaration\n concerning any financial contributions received from third countries, see Article\n 29 of the Regulation. Prequalified applicants will be obliged to update the notification/declaration\n upon submission of tender. The ESPD is available via the electronic tendering system.\n It is not necessary for the Candidate to sign the ESPD document. For groups of operators\n (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for each participating economic\n operator. Where the Candidate is a group of operators, the ESPD document of each participant\n in the group must be signed by the participant in question. The Candidate heading\n the group and submitting the application is not required to sign its ESPD document.\n If the Candidate relies on the capacity of other entities, an ESPD must be submitted\n for and signed by each of the entities on which the Candidate relies. The value stated\n in the section “Value” is the estimated value of the deliverables under the framework\n agreement. The contracting entity’s estimate of the estimated value of the framework\n agreement is based on a historical consumption. The total maximum value of the deliverables\n to be delivered under the framework agreement is DKK 60.000.000,00. The difference\n between the estimated value and the maximum value is due to the uncertainty of the\n final value of the framework agreement. The estimated value thus reflects the contracting\n entity’s estimate of the expected purchase under the framework agreement, whereas\n the maximum value reflects the highest value of all contracts to be performed within\n the term of the framework agreement. This takes into account, partly, the contracting\n entity’s expectations based on the most likely purchase under the framework agreement,\n partly, the expected uncertainty of such estimate. In relation to the estimated value,\n particular attention is drawn to the fact that the tenderers are not guaranteed any\n minimum purchase under the framework agreement, and the estimate is therefore no undertaking\n on the part of the contracting entity to make a minimum purchase under the framework\n agreement. It is specifically pointed out to the tenderer that the tenderer is bound\n by the prices offered, irrespective of the turnover specifically achieved under the\n framework agreement. This means that the tenderer is also bound by the prices offered\n if the specific turnover deviates from the estimated value, both upwards and downwards.\n The contracting entity may ask the candidate to supplement, specify or complete the\n application pursuant to Article 76, para. (4) of the Utilities Directive if the application\n or tender does not meet the formal requirements of the tender documents. For information\n on the process of the negotiations, reference is made to the tender specifications\n and the related Annex B and C. The Contracting Entity will pay no remuneration for\n participating. The contracting entity reserves the right to award based on the initial\n tender. Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as later amended\n which applies for the tender procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against\n award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian controlled companies etc. (reference\n is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the exact delimitation of the actors covered\n by the prohibition). The contracting entity may at any time during the tender process\n require that the economic operators prove that they are not covered by the prohibition,\n for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation regarding\n the economic operators’ and any subcontractors’ place of establishment and ownership.\n The framework agreement for which tenders are invited is not divided into lots for\n the following reason: Based on the financial circumstances, the Contracting Entity\n has estimated that more favorable prices can be achieved with one overall framework\n agreement. Out of consideration for the quality and coherence of the collected assignment\n for which tenders are invited, it is found expedient to have one overall framework\n agreement, as a division into lots, based on market conditions, is not assessed to\n give additional enterprises – including SMEs – the opportunity to submit tenders.\n Q&A As stated in the tender specifications, all communication between the tenderer\n and the contracting entity and submission of tenders must be through the electronic\n tendering system. The electronic tendering system is accessed via the link www.mercell.com.\n Mercell customer support can be contacted by telephone at: +45 63133700. Questions\n asked will be answered if they are received in time for the contracting entity to\n obtain the information required and communicate the answers within six days before\n expiry of the deadline for submission of tender. Questions received later than six\n days before expiry of the deadline for submission of tender cannot be expected to\n be answered, unless the deadline for submission of tender is also postponed, see Act\n Article 66(3) of the Utilities Directive. Shortlisting After receipt of initial tenders,\n the contracting entity will conduct a short listing of the tenderers who have submitted\n an initial tender in due time by identifying the four (4) tenders who offers the best\n price-quality ratio in accordance with procedure described in Appendix A – Tender\n evaluation. Those four (4) tenderers will then be invited for individual negotiation\n meetings in accordance with procedure described in Appendix C – Negotiation plan.\n The negotiations will be conducted in accordance with the principle of equal treatment,\n and all tenderers will be given the same amount of time for negotiations with the\n contracting entity. If deemed necessary, the contracting entity may ask the tenderers\n to sub-mit revised initial tenders after the negotiation round based on the initial\n tenders. In the contracting entity's invitation to the tenderers to submit final tender,\n the contracting entity will set a deadline for questions regarding submission of final\n tender.

5.1.10 Award criteria

Criterion:

Type: Price

Name: Price

Description: Evaluated based on the overall price for evaluation purposes (referred to in the following\n as the \"evaluation-technical price\"). The overall evaluation-technical price is calculated\n as a total cost of the forecast volume of the tender. With regard to the financial\n sub-criterion ”Price,” each tender will be awarded points in accordance with a financial\n framework. The evaluation will be based on an evaluation-technical price calculated\n as stated in Appendix 3 – Price list, as the total estimated sum of gas meters and\n additional components in the term of the framework agreement. The financial framework\n is lowest price + 50%. The compliant tender with the lowest evaluation-technical price\n is awarded the highest number of points on the scale (maximum points). Tenders with\n an evaluation-technical price that exactly matches the financial framework (lowest\n price + 50 %) or exceeds this framework are awarded the lowest number of points on\n the scale (minimum points). Tenders with an evaluation-technical price that lies within\n the financial framework are awarded points by linear interpolation: Points by linear\n interpolation= Maximum points-(((maximum points-minimum points))/gradient)*((price\n of tender-lowest price))/(lowest price) In the formula, price of tender constitutes\n the evaluation-technical price of the tender in question which, using the formula,\n is awarded points by linear interpolation; lowest price is the evaluation-technical\n price of the compliant tender offering the lowest price; and the gradient is the addition\n to the lowest price on which the financial framework is based. The graph below illustrates\n the contracting entity's award of points in accordance with the financial framework\n scoring model. If half or more of the compliant tenders received lie outside the financial\n framework, the financial framework will be increased to the lowest price + 50 %. Then\n new points in accordance with the new financial framework will be awarded. If half\n or more of the compliant tenders received still lie outside the financial framework\n after the in-crease, see above, the financial framework will be further increased\n to lowest price + 75 %. Then new points in accordance with the new financial framework\n will be awarded. The financial framework will not be increased any further. This also\n applies even if half or more of the compliant tenders received lie outside the financial\n framework after the second increase of the frame-work. The graph below illustrates\n how the contracting entity will award new points when this correction mod-el applies.\n After the financial framework has been increased, all tenders will lie within the\n framework, and the framework will not be increased any further.

Weight (percentage, exact): 60

Criterion:

Type: Quality

Name: Quality

Description: Evaluated based on the following sub-sub-criteria: • Tamper sealing options (5%) •\n Temperature (15%) • Lifespan of the gas meters (15%) • Signal output (15%) • Packing\n and shipment (10%) • Warranty (20%) • Quality assurance procedure (15%) • Support\n (5%) The percentage rates indicate the weighting of each sub-criterion in the tender\n evaluation. The weighting of the sub-sub-criteria under each sub-criterion is the\n weighing indicated. With regard to the qualitative sub-criterion “Quality”, each tender\n will be awarded points in accordance with a qualitative evaluation. The qualitative\n evaluation will be performed for each sub-sub-criterion under the qualitative sub-criterion.\n The qualitative evaluation will be performed in accordance with the evaluation basis\n of the sub-sub-criterion in question, see Appendix 2 – Evaluation sheet. The qualitative\n evaluation will be based on the following descriptive scale: Excellent (10 points)\n Extremely satisfactory (9 points) Very satisfactory (8 points) Above satisfactory\n (7 points) A little above satisfactory (6 points) Satisfactory (5 point) A little\n below satisfactory (4 points) Below satisfactory (3 points) Less than satisfactory\n (2 points) Not satisfactory (1 point) With the qualitative evaluation, the contracting\n entity will award the number of points that corresponds to the evaluation on the descriptive\n scale. Only whole points will be awarded, i.e. no decimals. The number of points awarded\n in accordance with a sub-sub-criterion will be included with the weighting of the\n sub-sub-criterion in the calculation of the overall number of points awarded to the\n qualitative sub-criterion to which the sub-sub-criterion belongs. The total number\n of points awarded to the qualitative sub-criterion is calculated using the following\n formula: Points for subcriterion=(((Points for sub-sub-criterion 1 x@Weighting of\n sub-sub-criterion 1))+((Points for sub-sub-criterion 2x@Weighting of sub-sub-criterion\n 2))+⋯+ ((Points for sub-sub-criterion 8 x@Weighting of sub-sub-criterion 8)))/(Sum\n of weightings of sub-sub-criteria) At sub-criterion level, the overall number of points\n may consist of a decimal numeral. The decimal numeral will not be rounded when identifying\n the tender with the best price-quality ratio.
