The ranking is then multiplied by the weighting of the respective criterion. The weighted rankings of all criteria are added together. The bidder with the best overall ranking is deemed to be the most economically favourable bidder and will be awarded with the first place. Price: To emphasize the importance of sustainability, TenneT will reward vessels with low emissions with a notional discount of EUR 150,00 per ton of saved emissions on their offered day rate during the evaluation of the offers. For this, the eco consumption value provided by the bidder in the price sheet (Annex 3) during the offer phase will be used to create a comparison value based on consumption per nautical mile and m² deck space. This value will then be used to allow for a scaled and weighted comparison of all bidders against the value based on the historic CO2 emissions reported for 2023 by the previous vessel provider in order to achieve a fair and equal competition. The price criterion is based on the following evaluation of the bids/offers: The bid with the lowest bid price will be ranked at 1.00. Any bid that exceeds 2 times the lowest bid price will be awarded the last rank, which always corresponds to the number of bids submitted and evaluated. The evaluation of the bid prices which lie in between is carried out by means of linear interpolation with up to two decimal digits. This applies to both, the selection of candidates to conduct the negotiations with (evaluation based on the initial offer documents) as well as the later awarding of the contract to the winning candidate (evaluation based on BAFO documents). Contractual conditions: The negotiation results within the framework of the award procedure are evaluated with regard to the final distribution of contractual risks to the disadvantage of the TenneT in comparison to TenneT's draft. If there are no specifications from TenneT, the results of the negotiations are assessed comparatively. Technical Ability & Availability: The results of the negotiations within the framework of the award procedure are evaluated with regard to the final concept submitted by the bidders in terms of the overall service design in all areas required by TenneT. The results of the negotiations are evaluated comparatively. * Note on Review Procedure: Applicants/bidders must complain about violations of procurement law in compliance with the provisions of Section 160 (3) ARC - Act against Restraints of Competition (GWB – Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschraenkung).
