Evaluation:
Points will be given in the evaluation for the products. The product that the trade group considers the best will receive 10 points. The other products will get points that reflect the contracting authority ́s assessment of the difference between the products.
The lowest/worst score (0 points) will be given during the evaluation if the contracting authority is unable to evaluate the individual product as intended, based on the information contained in the tender.
The products that are not requested for product samples will be evaluated based on the documentation submitted with the tender.
Emphasis is put on the fact that the points stated that the contracting authority will focus on are not separate evaluation points. The evaluation will be carried out based on a general, judgemental assessment of the offered furniture, based on the conditions emphasised in the evaluation.
