Orientation: Service quality is the tenderer ́s ability to carry out the work assignments set in the tender documentation, including understanding of work extent and back-up plans in the event of unforeseen events, as well as holidays and illnesses.

Delivery security (punctuality transport holidays, routines for delivery, response time, emptying)
Communication (language etc. with drivers and other employees at the tenderer).
HSE routines (Tenderers shall describe their internal HSE routines, based on the delivery of this procurement, such as infection protection and hygiene routines).

Tenderers are asked to enclose their response below. 

Evaluation:
This award criteria will be assessed based on the Tenderer ́s description of the award criteria. A procurement assessment will be made when evaluating the described system. Best solution will be awarded the highest score (10 scores). Other solutions will be awarded a point score relative to the best solution.
The contracting authority uses the exclusion provisions in FF § 7-9 fourth paragraph, and has replaced the award criteria in accordance with the second link with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specification. It is considered clear that this gives a better climate and environmental effect, and this is justified below. Alternatively, requirements are used in the requirement specifications that contribute to reducing environmental emissions and climate footprint.

Transport is the element of the procurement that will clearly affect climate and the environment to the greatest degree. The contracting authority ́s assessment is that the market is not quite ready to be awarded for the use of biogas and/or zero emission vehicles.  The contracting authority ́s assessment is that it is appropriate and appropriate to set requirements in the requirement specifications for the procurement and use of zero emission vehicles during the contract period. Nor is there a large selection of other relevant award criteria for the environment that contribute to a good, verifiable and real environmental saving.

It is therefore clear that the requirement for the tenderers' procurement and use of at least one biogas and/or zero emission vehicle, as stated in the requirement specification, provides a better climate and environmental effect than using the environment as the award criteria.
