Minimum requirements: The contracting emphasises that any minimum requirements or ‘must’ requirements must not be regarded as absolute minimum requirements which automatically result in a duty to reject the competition. In the event of any nonconformity, the contracting authority will make an assessment of the scope of the nonconformity, the significance for the contracting authority and the significance for the call for tenders. The contracting shall, among other things, consider the significance of the nonconformity compared to the contract as a whole. We emphasise that a single nonconformity can be regarded as significant and we also specify that even minor non-conformities will give the contracting authority a right to reject the tender.
