Category of award threshold criterion : Weight (percentage, exact)
Award criterion number : 60
Criterion :
Type : Quality
Name : Exceptions to climate and environment
Description : About climate and environmental considerations According to the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9, the contracting authority is initially obliged to weight climate and environmental considerations with a minimum of thirty percent. The obligation to set requirements or criteria for climate and environment does not apply if the procurement has a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial and this is justified in the procurement documents, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9 fifth paragraph. According to DFØ ́s guidelines on climate and environmental considerations in public procurements, chapter 7, the procurement of services in connection with training and education - vocational and vocational training is one of 14 CPV codes that are considered to have a climate footprint and environmental impact that is immaterial in accordance with nature. "DFØ has reviewed all procurements that were carried out in 2022 registered on the 14 CPV codes that are considered to have low climate intensity. Based on this review, the types of procurements that go on and that have a typically low climate intensity have been identified. Furthermore, qualitative assessments have been made connected to other forms of environmental impact, taken from the concept list in chapter 2. The result of these assessments is the list below. Archive and documentation services User controlled personal assistance (BPA) Legal services and lawyer services Consultancy and analysis services Media monitoring and analysis. Emergency and Security Services Text and content services Telephony services and mobile telephony Services in connection with training and education. Labour market training (AMO) and alternative training arena Digital and technological courses Vehicles and transport related courses Courses for specific target groups (e.g. refugees, youth) Safety and HSE training. Management development and project management. Security and HSE training Language and integration courses Vocational and vocational training The contracting authority utilises the exclusion provisions in the procurement regulations §7-9 fifth paragraph on the basis that SaaS procurements in themselves have an immaterial climate footprint and environmental impact as it mainly involves the use of existing infrastructure. It can be argued that there will be no insignificant energy consumption connected to the service to be procured, but this is difficult to measure. Measures that can be put in place to reduce the climate footprint are to use renewable energy, as well as a focus on optimising energy efficiency. The challenge here lies in linking energy consumption specifically to the services that the Contracting Authority procures. In addition DFØ has carried out a dialogue with the relevant market, and the answer is that the market for these types of services is not mature in order to document requirements as a share of renewable energy for example. The contracting authority is obliged to follow-up all award criteria in the competition and sees that it can be challenging for tenderers to specifically link the energy use to the contracting authority ́s service. Based on the above, it is considered that this procurement has, in its nature, an immaterial climate footprint and environmental impact, and thus fulfils the terms for exemptions in accordance with the procurement regulations § 7-9 fifth paragraph.
