3/15

the seller who has indicated in Appendix 1 of the agreement that he offers the desired product and/or service) at the time of placing the one-time purchase.

3.1.2. The duration contract is concluded between the partners of the agreement as a result of a reopening of competition for the purchase of goods or the ordering of a service within a certain period (the length of the period is specified in the terms of the reopening of competition) on the basis of the list and descriptions of the goods or services specified in the public procurement and described in the technical specifications or specified in the reopening of competition. Under a duration contract, the buyer has the right to order the goods or services specified in the technical specifications from the successful tenderer during the duration contract period. The duration contract is performed on the basis of purchase orders submitted by the buyer, in which, if necessary, e.g. quantity, time and place of delivery or time and place of service provision, contact person, etc. are specified.

3.2. A reopening of competition is generally organized in the Public Procurement Register for a one-time purchase and/or for the conclusion of a duration contract based on the following procedure:

3.2.6.

3.2.7. The buyer shall use for awarding the procurement contract the weighting criteria of cost (total cost, unit price) (weighting of 100 points) or a combination of cost (total cost, unit price, % discount for products not covered by the contract) (weighting of 40-90 points) and the quality criterion (weighting of 10-60 points) to determine the most economically advantageous tender in a reopening of competition. The buyer will use price as the sole criteria in a case where the quality criteria listed in 3.2.7.2 would be deemed unfit to evaluate any given object of the procurement.

3.2.7.1. The award criteria and their weighting shall be specified in the conditions

of the reopening of the competition.

3.2.7.2. For the quality criteria, the buyer can use the following criteria:

4/15

• Delivery time/speed (the less the better) – will be used in case the

timeframe between placing the order and fulfilling the order is short

due to the buyer’s needs.

• Warranty duration (the more the better) – will be used if the buyer

wishes to award additional points for extended warranty periods.

• Environmental criteria (evaluated by the buyer, evaluation method

will be specified in the reopening of the competition in case the criteria

will be used) – will be used in case the buyer wishes to award points

for the goods’ effect on the environment.

• Product samples; their quality and usability (evaluated by the buyer,

evaluation method will be specified in the reopening of the

competition in case the criteria will be used). Will be used if the end-

user has deemed the quality or the usability more important than

usually.

• Necessary experience, certificates, skillset of the workforce, practice

in terms of carrying out the contract (evaluated by the buyer,

evaluation method will be specified in the reopening of the

competition in case the criteria will be used). Will be used if the object

of the procurement is specific enough for the buyer to require

previous experience.

• The distance between the place of production and the delivery

location (the less the better) – will be used, if the aim is to limit harm

done to the environment using shorter delivery routes or to ensure

deliveries altogether.

3.2.8. The buyer can, in reopening of the competition, ask for product samples to evaluate compliance to the requirements set in the procurement documents as well as for visual assessment, to evaluate the quality, usability or functionality. In doing so, the buyer can involve independent third-party experts.

3.2.9. The buyer informs all contractual partners about the results of the reopening of competition, including those who did not submit a price offer at the reopening of competition, and purchases the goods or orders the service from the tenderer who submitted the tender that was recognized as successful.

3.2.10. In the event that the tenderer who submitted a successful tender at the reopening of competition withdraws the tender before concluding the procurement contract or does not begin to fulfill the procurement contract on time, the buyer has the right to approach the seller(s) whose tender was next in the ranking as the most economically successful and conclude the procurement contract without conducting a new reopening of competition and demand from the tenderer who submitted the successful tender (in the ranking from the first) to pay the price difference compared to the cost of the next successful tender and any additional costs in accordance with § 119 of the Public Procurement Act.

3.2.11. In the event that more than one tender should be successful in the reopening of competition due to the submission of equal tenders, a raffle will be used to determine the successful tender. The buyer communicates the raffle procedure to the sellers before the raffle.

3.2.12.1. tenders are unreasonably expensive for the buyer;

information that excludes or makes it impractical for the buyer to conduct

the reopening of competition under the conditions stated in the

5/15

procurement documents of the reopening of competition, or the

conclusion of the procurement contract on the predetermined conditions

determined during the reopening of competition would not meet the

buyer's previous needs or expectations due to changed circumstances;

3.2.12.3. the subject of the procurement contract is no longer required, which does

not depend on the buyer, or for reasons which are due to or arise from

changes in legislation, administrative acts and actions of higher

authorities or other similar arrangements.
