5.1.10 Award criteria

Criterion :
Type : Price
Name : Price
Description : The award will be based on which tender has the lowest price.
Category of award threshold criterion : Weight (percentage, exact)
Award criterion number : 100
Criterion :
Type : Quality
Name : Environment
Description : According to the Procurement Regulations § 7-9 fourth paragraph, the award criteria in accordance with the second and third paragraphs can be replaced with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specifications, if it is clear that this provides a better climate and environmental effect and this is justified in the procurement documents. If the contracting authority does not prioritise in line with the third section, climate and environmental requirements shall be set in the requirement specifications, and this shall be justified in the procurement documents. It is considered clear in this procurement that the use of the minimum requirements in the requirement specifications will provide a better climate and environmental effect than that achieved by weighting climate and the environment by 30%. The procurement is assessed in a lifetime perspective and areas for climate and environmental gains have been identified and used as the basis for the requirements set. Based on market mapping including a supplier dialogue (RFI) In May 2025 and the competitive situation, it is considered that the market is mature in order to set minimum requirements for climate and environment for products and services in this procurement of fruit and vegetables. There are a number of requirements regarding, among other things, packaging, recycling schemes, food waste, transport and organic products, see the requirement specifications point 8.1-8.14. The transport part of the procurement is considered suitable for setting minimum requirements for emission free transport. There are requirements for a minimum of 25% of the meetings in the contract the first contract year shall be with vehicles that go completely on electricity, hydrogen, biogas or a combination thereof. The share is therefore required to increase by 15% for each contract year. In this way, it is ensured that a share of the service is emission free with the accompanying climate gains both locally and globally. By setting this as an evaluation requirement, we had no guarantee of equal value from the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. There are strict requirements regarding the assortment of ecological products, which in turn can generate major environmental gains from contract use. Furthermore, packaging is required that avoid use of unnecessary packaging, halogenous packaging, as well as an increased share of reuse and recycling of packaging and the use of recycling materials in packaging. If these requirements had been set as evaluation requirements, it would not have been certain that the winning tender offer had offered equivalent quality of packaging and organic assortment. By setting the requirements as the minimum requirements in the requirement specification, the contracting authority clearly gives a better climate and environmental effect than weighting the award criteria environment by 30%.
