Technical requirements: As the product category ‘Bandages and Wound Materials’ in the price form, rows 35-72 is not clear and precisely defined from the contracting authority's side, this competition has been cancelled.
The price form is not clearly formulated and it does not give potential tenderers sufficiently predictability as regards pricing products, cf. the basic requirements in the Public Procurements Act § 5.
Tenderers will take on great financial risk with the current price setting, as the actual extent will be very decisive for the tenderer's profit. This can potentially prevent competition for the contract and/or the pricing or risk means that the most efficient use of resources will not be ensured, which is contrary to the Act's object clause.
We cannot exclude that tenderers, after having seen the announced price form, have decided not to register their interest in the competition. These will then not receive notification of any changes to the price form, with the consequence that this error has influenced potential participation in the competition.
The mentioned rows make up more than 20 % of this competition. A change of this extent would be seen as a significant change to the competition and the contracting authority cannot, thus, correct this error in any other way than by a cancellation.
This facts in total give, according to the contracting authority, a justifiable reason for cancellation, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 22-1 (1).
