Operational contracts, electrical installations use the lowest price as the award criterium.
The procurement is for the operation and maintenance of electrical installations on and along the national road. 

The main objective of the contract is to operate and safeguard the existing electrical installations on and along the national road. There are few or no interventions with climate and environmental impact. 

According to the Public Procurement Regulations (FOA) § 7-9 (4), award criteria in accordance with PPR § 7-9 (2) and (3) can be replaced with climate and environmental requirements if it is clear that this provides a better climate and environmental effect. 

The climate and environmental impact of this procurement is mainly related to:  

i) Transport of personnel  
ii) Emissions from materials  
iii) Handling waste 

In this procurement, work hours for personnel make up the largest resource effort, and transport of personnel will give the largest climate footprint. Personnel vehicles are mainly light vehicles under 3.5 tons. At least 90% of all such transport shall occur with zero emission vehicles (electric or hydrogen vehicles). This is taken care of in chapter C2 point 34 Vehicle requirements.  

Petrol or diesel powered vehicles used in the contract work require emissions level. Such vehicles shall as a minimum fulfil the Euro VI/6 or Stage IV standards. This is taken care of in chapter C3 point 27.3 Outer environment.  

Materials make up a large part of the procurement. The total extent of the material deliveries is unknown at the time of the competition notice and is therefore not fully estimated in advance. The materials will mainly occur according to a need arisen and the contracting authority has full control over the procurement. The Contracting Authority emphasises the materials' climate and environmental profile with the concrete procurements. Materials that promote reuse are required, however. This is taken care of in chapter C2 point 30.4 Recycling and recycling. 

Handling waste is a minor part of the execution of the contract. There are requirements as to how waste shall be handled for recycling and recycling. This is taken care of in chapter C2 point 30.5 Waste Management. 

The tenderer is required to be certified in accordance with ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Requirements. This contributes to the tenderer having a systematic approach to environmental management in connection with the execution of the contract work. Tenderers will, thus, contribute to protecting the environment by preventing or curbing unfortunate environmental impact, upholding environmental obligations, improving the environmental performance, implementing environmental alternatives and communicating environmental information. 

By setting minimum requirements in the contract, we are largely ensured a climate and environmental effect and we therefore consider the climate and environmental gains in this procurement to be better safeguarded through such a requirement position rather than the use of climate and environment as the award criteria.
