              <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">In this procurement, the contracting authority has chosen to take care of climate and environmental considerations through concrete requirements, cf. the public procurement regulations § 7-9 fourth paragraph. 

The justification for this is that the climate and environmental goals for the procurement are best achieved by having all tenders fulfil a fixed minimum level for environmental performance. The use of award criteria could mean that tenders with lower environmental performance, but a higher score on other criteria, may still be able to reach the competition. This is seen as little compatible with the objective of the procurement. 

In assessing the climate and environmental impact of the procurement, the contracting authority has chosen to focus on data centre operation, as this component clearly makes up the largest share of the environmental footprint by the use of cloud services. Measures to ensure energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy in computer centres have, therefore, the greatest effect on reducing total emissions from the service delivery. 

Furthermore, it is considered appropriate and proportionate to determine environmental requirements at a level that is relevant and realistically achievable for the market. The requirements are designed so that they can be documented, checked and followed-up in the contract period. 

This approach ensures equal treatment of the tenderers, predictability in the competition and fulfilment of the company's environmental strategy. The contracting authority therefore deems that the use of requirements rather than award criteria is the most suitable means for safeguarding climate and environmental considerations in this concrete procurement. </cbc:Description>
