contradictions, the lowest price will form the basis.

Reasons for environmental requirements:
In this competition, 30% weighting in accordance with the contract award criteria is not set. 
The Public Procurement Regulations § 7-9 second section. The reason for this is that the climate and environmental effect of 
the procurement is better taken care of by the requirement position in the tender documentation. The environment will constitute a 
award criteria with a weighting of 10%.

Sykehusinnkjøp has long set strict requirements for taking care of climate and environment considerations when procuring surgical products. In this procurement there are minimum requirements for the content of health hazardous substances (with the exception of two products as well as products that specifically request qualities on the outphasing list), minimum requirements for packaging content and minimum requirements for certification for environmental management. The minimum requirements embrace different areas connected to climate and environmental effects by affecting the production line on the products, packaging and the entity's strategies. Combined, fulfilment of these minimum requirements will clearly safeguard the climate and environmental effect better than weighing these with 30% as evaluation requirements. This is because the effect of setting the requirements as the minimum requirement will be that tenderers who do not meet the minimum requirement will not be able to be awarded a contract.

In addition to the minimum requirements, there are evaluation requirements for environmental labelling as well as some sub-competitions will also be evaluated for recycled/bio-based materials. The evaluation requirements affect further areas connected to climate and environmental effects than the minimum requirements, including transport and production. These evaluation requirements have been weighted 10%. By setting these evaluation requirements for the environment to 10%, Sykehusinnkjøp will emphasise the importance of safeguarding climate and environmental considerations in the competition.
