Award criteria
Criterion:
Type: Price
Name: Price
Description: Completed price form
Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)
Award criterion number: 70
Criterion:
Type: Quality
Name: Quality
Description: Answers according to the requirements specification
Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)
Award criterion number: 20
Criterion:
Type: Quality
Name: Environment
Description: Reason for lower percentage for the environment. EPD: For climate footprints taken from environmental declarations, there is no agreed standard, and this poses challenges when transitioning between two versions of the standard (EN15804+A1:2013 and EN15804+A2:2019). The change with EN 15804 + A2 means that there are now valid EPDs that follow both the old standard (+A1) and the new standard (+A2), and it is not possible to find a general conversion factor between +A1 and +A2. Therefore, there will be deviations of a few percent in the CO2 emission figures, and it could give rise to uncertainty if we were to evaluate this. Environmental management: It is a qualification requirement that the supplier must have an environmental management system. Transport: NTNU wants to focus on transport locally in accordance with NTNU's development plan for travel/transport, item 8, which states that NTNU will seek to fully electrify our means of transport and equipment. NTNU buys about 8 tonnes a year under this framework agreement, divided into many deliveries/orders. In the big logistics picture for transport to the supplier's warehouse, this only amounts to thousandths of the tonnage. Of the assortment that NTNU orders, we have no opportunity to control the transport into the supplier's warehouse. Instead, we focus on the transport that goes from the warehouse to campus. It will be disproportionate to have 30% emphasis on the environment for this, and the market for trucks that run on electricity is not mature in Trøndelag. Therefore, the evaluation of the environment is set to 10%.
