For the award of a contract relating to the design of a system of payment by bank card in Russia, one of the tenderers was approached twice (first directly and then via an intermediary) to participate in a consortium with one of the other preselected undertakings. 
Vid tilldelningen av ett kontrakt fr skapande av ett bankkortsbetalningssystem i Ryssland uppmanades en av anbudsgivarna vid tv tillfllen att delta i ett konsortium med ett av de andra fretag som valts ut p frhand (frst direkt och sedan genom en mellanhand).
The intermediary was confident of being able to win the contract if his proposal was accepted: participation in the consortium and payment of a commission. 
Mellanhanden ansg sig kunna erhlla kontraktet om hans frslag accepterades, dvs. deltagande i konsortiet och betalning av en provision.
The proposal was rejected and the tenderer who had thus been contacted informed Commission staff of what had happened. 
Frslaget frkastades och hndelsen rapporterades till kommissionens avdelningar av den anbudsgivare som kontaktats p detta stt.
Despite the details of this case having been corroborated by two Commission officials, the contract was awarded to the consortium which included the offending undertaking. 
Fastn dessa uppgifter bekrftades av tv tjnstemn vid kommissionen tilldelades kontraktet det konsortium i vilket det fretag vars agerande ifrgasatts ingick.

The Phare files, however, do not always provide this information.

The information supplied to tenderers Rules for the formation of consortia 37. 
Information som lmnas till anbudsgivarna Regler fr att bilda konsortier 37.
As a general rule the instructions stipulated that consortia and subcontracting contracts were permitted between undertakings on the shortlist, but it also happened that such associations were not allowed (four Phare cases, six Tacis cases). 
I instruktionerna preciseras i allmnhet att det r tilltet med konsortier och underleverantrsavtal mellan de fretag som finns p den begrnsade listan, men det hnder ocks att sdant samarbete inte accepteras (fyra Phare-fall och sex Tacis-fall).
Collaboration is possible under various rules, but as no justification is ever given for the option chosen, it is difficult to assess the reasons for it. 
Det finns olika mjligheter till samarbete, men eftersom det aldrig lmnas ngon motivering till varfr en viss samarbetsmetod har valts, r det svrt att bedma orsakerna drtill.
Mention of the financial evaluation criteria 38. 
Angivande av ekonomiska utvrderingskriterier 38.
No precise method is specified for Tacis contracts, a fact which does not comply with the provisions of Article 117 of the Financial Regulation. Furthermore, it is not in accordance with best practice, which requires that the award criteria be stated in the contract specifications or the tender notice whenever the contract is to be awarded to the economically most advantageous tender (as opposed to an award based on other criteria). 
Ingen exakt metod anges fr Tacis-avtalen. Detta strider mot artikel 117 i budgetfrordningen och bsta mjliga praxis, som faststller att nr kontraktet skall tilldelas det ekonomiskt mest frdelaktiga anbudet (i motsats till kontrakt som tilldelas genom privat verenskommelse) skall de kriterier fr tilldelning av kontraktet man avser att tillmpa anges i kontraktsspecifikationerna eller i meddelandet om upphandling.
For 34 of the 80 Phare files, this information was not given. 
I 34 av 80 Phare-kontrakt har denna information inte lmnats.
Furthermore, for 12 Phare files the CommissionŐs files did not contain the instructions to tenderers. 
Dessutom fanns instruktionerna till anbudsgivarna inte med i kommissionens akter fr 12 Phare-kontrakt.
Use of outside experts 40. 
Anvndning av externa experter 40.
They are recruited on framework contracts which cover most of the sectors of assistance (13 for Phare and six for Tacis) (see paragraph 70). 
De anstlls med ramavtal som tcker de flesta tgrdsomrdena (13 fr Phare och sex fr Tacis) (se punkt 70).
There are two possibilities: (a) the Commission manager proposes an expert whom he knows. 
Det kan ske p tv olika stt. a) Kommissionens handlggare freslr en expert som han eller hon knner till.
The administrative situation is subsequently regularised by integrating this expert, after negotiation, into the framework-contract teams; (b) the Commission manager submits the desired profile to the contractor which proposes one of the experts on its lists. 
Den administrativa delen regleras sedan genom att experten i frga, efter frhandlingar, infrlivas i ramkontraktets arbetsgrupp. b) Kommissionens handlggare lgger fram nskad profil fr den avtalsslutande parten som d freslr en expert frn sina listor.
The procedure still lacks transparency and is protected against possibleconfusionsofinterestbyaformalsystemofsworndec-larations (see box No 2). 
Frfarandet medger inte srskilt mycket insyn och skyddet mot intressekonflikter stdjer sig p ett formellt system med frskran p heder och samvete (se ruta nr 2).
As of 2000, the implementation of new framework contracts (at least three per sector of assistance) should make it possible to improve the situation. 
Frn och med 2000 br infrandet av nya ramavtal (minst tre per tgrdssektor) gra det mjligt att frbttra situationen.
The managers should no longer have to propose candidates and the desired profiles are expected to be submitted in parallel to three framework contract holders in the sector concerned. 
Handlggarna behver inte lngre fresl ngra kandidater och de nskade profilerna br lggas fram samtidigt till tre parter som slutit ramavtal inom den berrda sektorn.
In order to increase the effectiveness of the systems, the Commission should set up, for the external aid programmes, a database containing the main data on the experts. 
Fr att ka systemens effektivitet borde kommissionen nr det gller programmen fr externt bistnd inrtta en databas med viktig information om experterna.
A tool of this kind would make it possible: (a) toreducetherisksofconfusionsofinterestfromtheveryout-set. 
Ett sdant verktyg skulle leda till fljande: a) Risken fr intressekonflikter skulle begrnsas redan frn brjan.
In two cases, beneficiaries of framework contracts officially expressed their interest in service contracts in their sector of activity, even though their contracts prohibit them from doing so (#35: EUR 0,9 million; #51:EUR 2,8 million); (b) to improve circulation of expertsŐ profiles, and their track records in particular, at the Commission. 
I tv fall intresserade sig ramavtalens parter officiellt fr avtal om tjnster inom sitt verksamhetsomrde fastn deras kontrakt frbjd detta (nr 35: 0,9 miljoner euro; nr 51: 2,8 miljoner euro). b) Information om experternas profiler och framfr allt deras prestationsfrmga skulle spridas p ett bttre stt inom kommissionen.
Such circulation is essential, in view of the high turnover of personnel at the Commission and the widespread use of experts. 
Med tanke p den mycket hga personalomsttningen p kommissionens avdelningar och p att experter utnyttjas i mycket hg grad r en sdan informationsspridning ndvndig.
Since October 1996, more than 2 000 experts have been consulted through Phare framework contracts. 
Sedan oktober 1996 har mer n 2000 experter anlitats genom Phares ramavtal.
Confusions of interest were detected in seven Phare and two Tacis cases. 
Intressekonflikter har uppdagats i sju Phare-renden och tv Tacis-renden.
The bids presented under these circumstances were in fact rejected on three occasions in the case of Phare and once for Tacis, but not in the other cases (see box No 2). 
De anbud som lagts fram i dessa fall har avvisats i tre fall fr Phare och ett fall fr Tacis, men inte i de vriga fallen (se ruta nr 2).

The person who drew up the contract specifications for a pilot project for the regional land register in Bulgaria was proposed as the long-term expert in the bid submitted by one of the tenderers. 
Den person som tog fram kontraktsspecifikationerna till ett pilotprojekt fr det regionala fastighetsregistret i Bulgarien freslogs som expert p lng sikt i en av anbudsgivarnas anbud.
This undertaking, which thus had a crucial advantage, succeeded in winning the contract. 
Detta fretag som drmed hade en avgrande frdel kunde ta hem kontraktet.
This confusion of interests was not mentioned in the evaluation committeeŐs minutes, but was mentioned in a follow-up report that was submitted subsequently. 
Denna intressekonflikt nmns inte i protokollen frn utvrderingskommittns sammantrden, men dremot i en uppfljningsrapport som lades fram senare.
Not only was the contract signed with the offending undertaking but the expert also remained on the technical assistance team. 
Inte nog med att avtalet slts med det fretag som ifrgasatts, experten fick dessutom fortstta inom gruppen fr tekniskt bistnd.

In the case of one Tacis contract relating to the environment sector, a person consulted by the Commission when the specifications for the project were being drawn up also appeared as the coordinator in one of the tenders submitted for the same project. 
I ett Tacis-kontrakt inom miljsektorn framstlldes en person som kommissionen konsulterat fr att utarbeta kontraktsspecifikationerna fr projektet som samordnare i ett av de anbud som lmnades in fr samma projekt.
The confusion of interests did not result in the exclusion of either the expert or the undertaking concerned; indeed, the undertaking won the contract, having been awarded a very high mark for the technical part. 
Trots intressekonflikt uteslts varken experten eller fretaget i frga, som tog hem kontraktet p grund av mycket hga pong p den tekniska delen.

Utvrdering av anbuden Utvrderingskommitternas funktion 46.
In one case, the evaluator who was absent was simply treated as an observer and his evaluation was not taken into account. 
I ett fall ansgs den frnvarande utvrderaren endast vara observatr och dennes utvrdering beaktades inte.
Some of the solutions accepted by the Committee in the case of Phare were debatable: in particular, the replacement of evaluators during the procedure, the awarding of marks for stages of the evaluation in which the evaluators in question had not participated and the signing by those absent of attendance sheets for meetings which they did not attend (see box No 3). 
I frga om Phare accepterade kommittn tveksamma lsningar som t.ex. att utvrderare byttes ut mitt under frfarandet, att pong sattes fr utvrderingsfaser som utvrderarna inte hade deltagit i och att nrvarolistorna skrevs p fr sammantrden som de inte deltagit i (se ruta nr 3).

In one case relating to the tourism sector in Poland, the marks given by the evaluator who attended some of the evaluation phases were simply repeated for the phases where he was absent. 
I ett fall som gllde turistsektorn i Polen frdes de pong som utvrderaren givit i en viss fas av utvrderingen, i vilken han medverkat, helt enkelt ver till faser dr han inte varit nrvarande.
Furthermore, these absences did not prevent the evaluator from signing the attendance lists for meetings which he did not attend. 
Frnvaron hindrade inte heller utvrderaren frn att underteckna nrvarolistorna fr sdana sammantrden som han inte hade deltagit i.

For one contract in the marketing of agricultural products sector, the independent expert submitted a report to the Commission, calling in question the reliability, competence and independence of the other members of the Committee during the evaluation of the tenders. 
Fr ett kontrakt fr marknadsfring av jordbruksprodukter framlade den oberoende experten en rapport fr kommissionen dr han ifrgasatte de andra kommittledamternas ansvarsknnande, kompetens och oberoende vid utvrderingen av anbud.

For one training project, one of the external evaluators stated in his report that other Committee members were frequently absent, to the extent that at one interview he was on his own. 
Angende ett utbildningsprojekt nmnde en av de externa utvrderarna i sin rapport att de andra kommittledamterna varit frnvarande s ofta att han var den enda nrvarande vid en av intervjuerna.
Nevertheless, a mark was given by every evaluator for every interview. 
Trots detta har alla utvrderare pongsatt varje intervju.

In view of its weight (70 %), the technical evaluation is decisive and any significant difference between the tenderers as regards the points awarded is a serious handicap in the later stages. 
Med beaktande av den tekniska utvrderingens betydelse (70 %) r den avgrande och varje vsentlig skillnad i pongsttning mellan anbuden blir ett svrt handikapp i den fortsatta bedmningen.
It must, therefore, be considered very carefully: in all the files examined, there were only three contracts that were awarded to an undertaking which did not occupy the top position at the end of the technical evaluation. 
Den br drfr vervgas mycket noggrant. Av alla de renden som granskats har endast tre avtal ingtts med fretag som inte lg p frsta plats efter den tekniska utvrderingen.
In the case of 16 Phare and 12 Tacis files, the marks awarded by the local assessors differed greatly from those given by the other members of the Committee and were the cause of significant differences between the undertakings evaluated. 
I 16 Phare-renden och 12 Tacis-renden avvek de lokala utvrderarnas pongsttning mycket frn den som de andra kommittledamterna gjort och orsakade betydande skillnader mellan de utvrderade fretagen.
In two Phare cases and one Tacis one, the divergences led the Commission to cancel the tender evaluation. 
I tv Phare-renden och ett Tacis-rende ledde skillnaderna till att kommissionens avdelningar annullerade utvrderingen av anbud.
In other cases, the results were accepted and the procedure continued. 
I andra fall har resultaten godtagits och frfarandet har fortsatt (se ruta nr 4).
The reasons for these differences in attitude should be explained carefully when the decision is tipped in the direction of a particular tenderer precisely because of differences of this type (three Phare and three Tacis cases). 
Dessa olika attityder br motiveras ingende nr beslutet gynnar en anbudsgivare just p grund av dessa skillnader (tre Phare-renden och tre Tacis-renden). Phare Ruta nr 4 52.

The marks awarded by one member of the evaluation committee swung the award of a contract in Poland (technical assistance for privatisation) in favour of one of the tenderers.

As a result of overmarking by the only Russian expert, one Tacis contract concerning the development of human resources was awarded to the undertaking that came second at the end of the technical evaluation. 
Till fljd av att den enda ryska experten gav en alltfr hg pong tilldelades ett Tacis-kontrakt fr utveckling av mnskliga resurser det fretag som kom p andra plats vid den tekniska bedmningen.
The difference between the marks awarded to the top two undertakings by the expert was four times greater than the difference between the four other assessorsŐ evaluations of the same tenderers. 
Skillnaden mellan de pong som denna expert hade satt fr de tv frsta fretagen var fyra gnger strre n skillnaden mellan de andra utvrderarnas bedmningar av samma anbudsgivare.
If this expertŐs marks had not been taken into account, the contract would have been awarded to another undertaking. 
Om man inte tagit hnsyn till denna experts pongsttning skulle kontraktet ha slutits med ett annat fretag.
There is no rule to distinguish cases where the procedure must be terminated from those where it may be continued. 
Det finns ingen regel som gr det mjligt att skilja fall dr frfarandet br avbrytas frn sdana dr det kan fortstta.
Under such circumstances it would be preferable if the marks at the extreme ends of the scale were excluded when the average is being calculated (e.g. if they deviate from the average by more than a predetermined amount), or, if appropriate, that the evaluation be taken over by another committee. 
Under dessa omstndigheter skulle det vara bttre att inte ta med de extrema pongen vid berkningen av genomsnittet (ssom dem som uppvisar en strre avvikelse n ett visst faststllt grnsvrde) eller, vid behov, hnvisa bedmningen till en annan kommitt.
Interviews 55. 
Intervjuer 55.
The interviews are part of the technical evaluation and the points awarded count towards the final technical mark. 
Intervjuerna utgr en del av den tekniska utvrderingen och pongen som stts bidrar till den slutliga tekniska pongen.
In the case of Phare, the written tender usually accounts for 80 % of the technical evaluation and the interviews for 20 %. 
Fr Phare utgr det skriftliga anbudet oftast 80 % och intervjuerna 20 % av den tekniska utvrderingen.
On occasion, however, the interviews either accounted for more than 20 % (12 Phare files), or the evaluation committee did not arrange an interview (18 Phare cases). 
Det frekommer emellertid att intervjuerna har strre vikt n 20 % (12 Phare-renden) eller att utvrderingskommittn verhuvudtaget inte anordnar ngon intervju (18 Phare-renden).
In 16 Phare cases and all the Tacis ones, the proportion applicable to the interview was not specified and adjustment was a matter for overall discretionary appraisal. 
I 16 Phare-renden och samtliga Tacis-renden faststlldes inte intervjuns relativa betydelse och viktningen var beroende av en godtycklig allmn utvrdering.
There is nothing in the Phare files to explain the choice of options. 
Valet av alternativ frklaras inte p ngot stt i handlingarna fr Phare-rendena.
Moreover, by omitting to specify in the instructions to tenderers whether interviews would take place and by not drawing attention to their importance, the CommissionŐs departments did not follow the rules provided in Article 117 of the Financial Regulation (see paragraph 4). 
Kommissionens avdelningar avviker dessutom frn bestmmelserna i budgetfrordningens artikel 117 genom att i instruktionerna till anbudsgivarna inte precisera om intervjuer kommer att ga rum och man markerar inte heller intervjuernas betydelse (se punkt 4).
Finally, contrary to what is laid down in the instructions to tenderers, a selection has very often already been made on the basis of the written proposals. 
Slutligen sker ett urval oftast redan p grundval av det skriftliga anbudet, vilket str i strid med det som anges i instruktionerna.
Only undertakings which obtain more than 65 % from the technical review of their files are invited for interview. 
Endast de fretag som ftt mer n 65 % vid den tekniska granskningen av deras anbud kallas nmligen till intervju.
However, in reality, many tenderers have had their technical mark raised after the interviews. 
Mnga anbudsgivare har emellertid faktiskt ftt sitt tekniska betyg hjt efter dessa intervjuer.
Given that this preliminary filter is never mentioned, the information sent to tenderers is incomplete. 
Eftersom detta frsta filter aldrig angivits r den information som anbudsgivarna ftt inte fullstndig.
Financial evaluation methods 57. 
Ekonomiska utvrderingsmetoder 57.
It was found from examining the files that 11 different methods had been used in evaluating the financial proposals for Phare and six for Tacis (Annex IV). 
Granskningen av rendena visade att elva olika metoder har anvnts fr att utvrdera de ekonomiska frslagen fr Phare och sex fr Tacis (bilaga IV).
These methods can be divided into two groups: in the first, the comparisons are based on the overall amounts, whereas in the second it is the average unit costs that are compared. 
Metoderna kan indelas i tv grupper: i den frsta grundar sig jmfrelserna p totalsummor, medan det i den andra r genomsnittskostnader per enhet som jmfrs.
Some of the methods applied in the second group produce effects which go against the policies set out elsewhere by the Commission. 
Vissa av metoderna inom den andra gruppen har fljder som strider mot den policy som kommissionen gett uttryck fr i andra sammanhang.
This is the case where, in order to calculate the average cost of the experts, the total cost of experts, both local and European, 
Detta sker t.ex. nr man fr att rkna ut experternas genomsnittskostnad dividerar de totala kostnaderna fr bde europeiska

6.12.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 350/11 och lokala experter med endast arbetsinsatserna fr Europeiska unionens experter (antal personer x antal dagar).
This method gives the advantage to tenders which favour hiring European experts, to the detriment of those which employ local experts. 
Denna metod gynnar de anbud som fredrar att anvnda europeiska experter och missgynnar dem som anvnder lokala experter.
Such a step is in conflict with the intentions expressed in the instructions issued to tenderers, and in the CommissionŐs internal instructions (4 October 1996), which seek to promote the use of local experts, with the aim of ensuring that the results achieved have long-term sustainability (see paragraph 19). 
Ett sdant frfarande strider mot de syften som anges svl i instruktionerna till anbudsgivarna som i kommissionens interna instruktioner (4 oktober 1996), som strvar efter att gynna anvndningen av lokala experter fr att de uppndda resultaten skall bli varaktiga (se punkt 9).
In the sample examined, six Phare and nine Tacis contracts were affected by the non-inclusion of experts from CEEC countries. 
I sex Phare-kontrakt och nio Tacis-kontrakt i det granskade urvalet har man inte tagit i beaktande experter frn st.
In only one case (#62: EUR 4,8 Million) did a Commission official ask for the basic calculation to be amended so as to place all tenderers on an equal footing. Changes in the methods of financial evaluation 60. While the evaluation criteria were indeed sent to tenderers in the case of the Phare programme, the evaluation committee nevertheless applied different criteria sometimes. 
Endast i ett fall (nr 62:4, 8 miljoner euro) begrde en tjnsteman vid kommissionen att berkningsgrunden skulle ndras s att alla anbudsgivare behandlades lika. ndringar av metoderna fr ekonomisk utvrdering 60. ven om utvrderingskriterierna faktiskt har meddelats anbudsgivarna i samband med Phare-kontrakten, frekommer det emellertid att utvrderingskommittn anvnder sig av andra kriterier.
