Tenders must score minimum 60% for each criterion and minimum 70% in total. Tenders that do not reach the minimum quality levels will be rejected and will not be ranked. 

## 3.3.3 Ranking of tenders 

## The contract will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tender, i.e. the tender offering the best price-quality ratio determined in accordance with the formula below. 

A weight of 60/40 is given to quality and price

“Price of tender X” is the “Reference price” in the Financial tender (see section 4. Annexes ). 

## The tender(s) ranked first after applying the formula will be awarded the contract. 

## Remarks: 

Tenderers’ attention is drawn to the fact that ECDC will be in a position to make a proper assessment of the tenders on the basis of the above qualitative criteria only if they contain full particulars relating to all aspects of this specification. Lack of detail and vague and perfunctory information will be penalised. 

As the tenders will be evaluated on the basis of the quality of the services proposed, they should fully explore all the points included in this specification so as to obtain the best possible mark. 

Simply repeating the guidelines given in the specification of this invitation to tender without going into detail or expanding on them will result in a very poor mark. 

Furthermore, if any essential points of this specification are not expressly covered by the tender, ECDC may decide to give a zero mark for the relevant quality award criteria.
