Name: Financial offer - 40%
Description: • Pricing schedule • Fuel consumption assessment • Cost calculated including indexation • Commercial deviations that have an impact on cost • Other substantiated costs (e.g. swapping vessel / vessel breakdown risk) • Benefit of higher performance than min. required (if applicable) • Benefit of the speed (if applicable)

Criterion:
Type: Cost
Name: HSE – 10%
Description: • Value derived Vattenfall HSE BEQ evaluation questioner
Description of the method to be used if weighting cannot be expressed by criteria: Vattenfall opts to use for this tender Monetised Comparative Evaluation (MCE) tool. The MCE tool adjusts each supplier's price to reflect the influence of non-cost factors e.g. Technical, Quality, HSE, Sustainability, and Contractual Deviations– which prevents a low price from overshadowing poor technical or quality performance, mitigating Vattenfall from awarding contracts to only the cheapest bidder. The 'Total Comparative Score' is calculated by multiplying each criterion 'Weighting Factor' by its 'Variation to Reference', and summing all scores. The lower the 'Total Comparative Score', the lower the deviation to the reference (aka the best score) and therefore the better the supplier offer. Further details will be available in Tender Documentation at ITT stage.
