Procurement of two operational boats

Price

Quality (see the tender documentation chapter 5, point 5.1).

Climate and environmental considerations are not included as a separate award criterion in this competition, as it is considered that the climate and environmental effect is safeguarded more efficiently through absolute minimum requirements in the Contracting Authority's requirement specifications (Annexes 1 A and 1B), cf. the procurement regulation § 7-9 (4). ·       For the electric operating boat: There is an absolute minimum requirement of 100% emission free electrical propulsion. It is clear that such an absolute requirement gives a significantly better climate and environmental effect than weighting the environment as an award criterion. ·       For the petrol-driven operational boat: Due to a lack of infrastructure at the location (Håøya), fossile propulsion system is allowed. In order to ensure the lowest possible environmental impact, the requirement specifications set absolute minimum requirements for engine technology. This means that the engine must fulfil the strictest current emission requirements for professional boats, and be fully compatible with and factory certified for the use of standard E10 petrol (with up to 10% bioethanol) without this affecting or limiting the engine guarantee.
