El presente estudio analiza las dificultades interpretativas que ha planteado la inclusión de criterios sociales en la fase de adjudicación de contratos, especialmente las relativas a la necesaria vinculación con su objeto. Tomando como referencia la doctrina fijada por el TJUE, el análisis se centra en las interpretaciones que los tribunales administrativos de recursos contractuales han ido marcando en sus resoluciones respecto a la dimensión cualitativa y cuantitativa de los criterios de adjudicación. This study analyzes the interpretive difficulties that the inclusion of social criteria in the contract award phase has raised, especially those related to the necessary link with its object. Taking as a reference the doctrine established by the CJEU, the analysis focuses on the interpretations that the administrative courts of contractual appeals have been marking in their resolutions regarding the qualitative and quantitative dimension of the award criteria. El presente estudio se ha realizado en el marco del proyecto de investigación titulado «La efectiva implantación de la responsabilidad social en las Administraciones Públicas», financiado por la Universidad de Alicante, en la Convocatoria del programa propio del Vicerrectorado de Investigación y Transferencia de Conocimiento para el fomento de la I+D+I de 2019 (Referencia: (GRE19-03), y cuyo investigador principal es José Miguel Beltrán Castellanos.

Discusses the ruling in Sophia Group v European Parliament (T-578/19) (GC) on the extent to which labels and certificates may be used as award criteria for public procurement contracts, highlighting the court's distinctions between qualitative award criteria and selection criteria.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose and test a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach based on an additive value function (AVF) to select the most economically advantageous tender under European Union public procurement regulations. Design/methodology/approach A case study in which the AVF tender evaluation model is constructed by the procurement personnel and the results of the original, real-life public procurement evaluation model are compared to those discovered by the MCDA approach. Findings The AVF model captures the preferences of the procurement authority in a more reliable and transparent manner than commonly used evaluation models based on scoring formulas. Practical implications While commonly used in public procurement, relative scoring formulas can neither present the preferences of a procurement unit accurately nor do they enable bidders to draft bids according to these preferences. The proposed MCDA approach can achieve both. Originality/value The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, the successful construction of the AVF model with procurement personnel is introduced. Second, the model is used in an actual, real-life case. Third, a thoughtful comparison of features, structures and results of the AVF model and the evaluation model using scoring formulas is presented.

Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema Forcierung kreislaufgerechter Ausschreibung im Bauwesen. Die Masterarbeit soll Möglichkeiten zur Förderung der Kreislaufwirtschaft innerhalb der Bauindustrie im Rahmen der Ausschreibung aufzeigen und damit einen Beitrag zur Ressourcenschonung leisten. Vor allem das Bauwesen ist für einen hohen Anteil des Abfallaufkommens auf der gesamten Welt verantwortlich und verbraucht gleichzeitig viele Ressourcen. Daher ist eine Umstellung in Richtung eins zirkulären Wirtschaftssystems unumgänglich, um einen nachhaltigen Umgang mit den natürlichen Ressourcen sicherzustellen. Eine Möglichkeit das Modell der Kreislaufwirtschaft zu fördern ist die Ausschreibung von Bauleistungen. Um dazu Möglichkeiten einer kreislaufgerechten Ausschreibung aufzuzeigen, bietet die Masterarbeit zunächst einen Überblick über den rechtlichen Rahmen der Abfallwirtschaft auf europäischer und nationaler Ebene. Anschließend wird das allgemeine Modell der Kreislaufwirtschaft erläutert und der Bezug zur Baubranche hergestellt. Dabei werden die wichtigsten Beweggründe zur Forcierung der Kreislaufwirtschaft im Bauwesen sowie europäische und nationale Maßnahmen zur Förderung der Kreislaufwirtschaft vorgestellt. Außerdem werden die aktuell in Österreich bestehenden Ausschreibungsstandards analysiert. Um die aktuelle Ausschreibungspraxis in Österreich, Deutschland sowie der Schweiz darstellen zu können, wurden Interviews mit erfahrenen Experten aus der Branche geführt. Das Ergebnis dieser Masterarbeit ist ein Maßnahmenkatalog mit Vorschlägen zur Verbesserung der Ausschreibungsbedingungen in Österreich, um eine Forcierung kreislaufgerechter Ausschreibungen zu ermöglichen. This thesis deals with the promotion of the application of circular economy in tenders of the construction industry. The thesis should show possibilities for promoting the circular economy within the construction industry in the context of tenders and thus contribute to resource conservation. The construction industry in particular is responsible for a large proportion of the waste generated around the world and at the same time consumes many resources. Therefore, a change towards a circular economic system is essential to ensure sustainable use of natural resources. One way to promote the circular economy model is the tendering of construction work. To show the possibilities of a circular tender the thesis first offers an overview of the legal framework of waste management at European and national level. The general model of the circular economy is then explained and the connection to the construction industry is established. The most important reasons for promoting the circular economy in the construction industry as well as European and national measures to promote the circular economy are presented. In addition, the tendering standards currently in force in Austria are analyzed. To be able to present the current tendering practice in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, interviews were conducted with experienced experts from the industry. The result of this thesis is a catalog of measures with suggestions for improving the tendering conditions in Austria to enable the promotion of circular tenders.

Background: In Europe, off-patent biologicals and biosimilars are largely procured by means of tender procedures. The organization and design of tenders may play a key role in the evolving biosimilar market, and currently, it is not fully elucidated how tenders for off-patent biologicals and biosimilars are designed and if approaches are aligned with sustaining market competition and societal savings for healthcare systems over the long term. This study aims to (i) explore the design and implementation of tender procedures for off-patent biologicals and biosimilars in Europe, (ii) identify learnings for sustainable tender approaches from purchasers and suppliers, and (iii) formulate recommendations in support of competitive and sustainable tender practices in the off-patent biologicals market. Methods: A mixed methods design was applied. A quantitative web-survey was conducted with hospital pharmacists and purchasers (N = 60, of which 47 completed the survey in full), and qualitative expert-interviews with purchasers and suppliers (N = 28) were carried out. Results: The web survey results showed that the organization and design of tenders for off-patent biologicals and biosimilars, and the experience of hospital pharmacists and purchasers with this, considerably varies on several elements across European countries. From the qualitative interviews, signals emerged across the board that some of the current tender approaches might negatively affect market dynamics for off-patent biologicals and biosimilars. The focus on generating short-term savings and existence of originator favouring tender practices were identified as elements that may limit timely competition from and market opportunity for biosimilar suppliers. The need to optimize tender processes, considering a more long-term strategic and sustainable view, was expressed. In addition, challenges appear to exist with differentiating between products beyond price, showing the need and opportunity to guide stakeholders with the (appropriate) inclusion of award criteria beyond price. Due to the variety in tender organization in Europe, a ‘one size fits all’ tendering framework is not possible. However, on an overarching level, it was argued that tender procedures must aim to (i) ensure market plurality and (ii) include award criteria beyond price (warranted that criteria are objectively and transparently defined, scored and competitively rewarded). Depending on the market (maturity), additional actions may be needed. Conclusions: Findings suggest the need to adjust tender procedures for off-patent biologicals and biosimilars, considering a more long-term strategic and market sustainable view. Five main avenues for optimization were identified: (i) safeguarding a transparent, equal opportunity setting for all suppliers with an appropriate use of award criteria, (ii) fostering a timely opening of tender procedures, ensuring on-set competition, (iii) ensuring and stimulating adherence to laws on public procurement, (iv) securing an efficient process, improving plannability and ensuring timely product supply and (v) safeguarding long-term sustainable competition by stimulating market plurality.

Relatório de Estágio do Mestrado em Administração Público-Privada apresentado à Faculdade de Direito Este relatório aborda o tema Relevância dos Critérios de Adjudicação na Escolha de Fornecedores – O impacto na Melhoria na Qualidade de Fornecimento e resulta do estágio curricular do Mestrado em Administração Público- Privada da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Coimbra, realizado entre outubro de 2019 e fevereiro de 2020, na Câmara Municipal de Arganil, nomeadamente nas áreas de Gestão da Qualidade e Contratação Pública. Nos últimos anos, a necessidade de implementar um serviço de qualidade tem vindo a evidenciar-se cada vez mais nas organizações. A presente investigação versa sobre os critérios de adjudicação e os seus possíveis impactos na qualidade do fornecimento e dos serviços públicos. As organizações, privadas ou públicas, necessitam adaptar a sua conduta às novas necessidades de forma a alcançar o sucesso competitivo. A administração pública, em particular, possui um papel de relevância para a sociedade, na medida que esta deve agir em prol da comunidade de forma a proporcionar à sociedade o melhor serviço possível.Este relatório teve como objetivo avaliar a importância da qualidade do serviço público e fazer uma análise aos critérios de seleção de fornecedores mais utilizados pelas organizações públicas. Para o efeito, este estudo explorou a temática através da revisão da literatura e dos dados fornecidos pelo Instituto dos Mercados Públicos, do Imobiliário e da Construção (IMPIC). Os resultados do estudo demonstram que a grande maioria dos concursos públicos utilizam o critério de adjudicação do preço mais baixo na escolha dos seus fornecedores. This report approaches the theme “Relevance to the Award Criteria in the Choice of Suppliers – The Impact on Improving Quality of Supply” and it results on a curricular internship from the Master’s Degree in Public and Private Administration, from the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra, fulfilled between October 2019 and February 2020, at Câmara Municipal de Arganil, namely on the areas of Quality Management and Public Procurement. Over the last years, the need to implement a service with quality is increasingly shown in the organizations. The present investigation is about the award criteria and their possible impacts on the supply quality and public services. The organizations , private and public, need to adapt their behavior to the new needs, in order to achieve competitive success. The public administration, in particular, has a major relevance role for the society, in the way that it should act for the community, giving them the best possible service. This report had the objective to evaluate the importance of public service quality and analyze the most used supplier selection criteria by the public organizations. This theme was explored by reviewing literature and from data supplied by Institute of Public Markets, Real Estate and Construction (IMPIC). The results of the study show that the majority of the public contests use the lower price award criteria when choosing their suppliers.

The quality of the goods or services that government procures is obviously a very important consideration in deciding which supplier should be awarded a particular public tender. It follows that in the regulation of public procurement, particular attention should be given to the role of quality (also called functionality) in the adjudication of public tenders and the final award decision. In South African public procurement law, the role of functionality in public tender adjudication has been a fairly controversial issue that has resulted in a continuing interaction between courts and law-makers on how and when quality should be assessed and should impact on the final award decision within the framework for public procurement found in section 217 of the Constitution. This contribution tracks the development of the role of functionality in public tender adjudication as prescribed by public procurement regulation since the enactment of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act 5 of 2000, which spearheaded the development of contemporary public procurement regulation in South Africa. The analysis shows how the role of functionality has constantly changed since the enactment of the PPPFA and remains uncertain. This uncertainty relates to different interpretations of the constitutional requirements for public procurement primarily contained in section 217(1) of the Constitution. Whether functionality is used as a qualification criterion, an award criterion or both holds particular practical implications for both suppliers and contracting authorities. It is accordingly important to have certainty on this question. However, it cannot be said that the Constitution and section 217 in particular dictates one approach rather than another. The issue should thus be resolved with reference to the statutory scheme adopted under the PPPFA.Keywords: Public procurement regulation; functionality; quality; state tenders; Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act; qualification criteria; award criteria

Green public procurement (GPP) aims to integrate environmental criteria into public tender as instrument to develop and encourage production and consumption of sustainable products and services. Inclusion of award criteria in GPP is a key factor of its success. To this aim, a new method for assessing environmental award criteria in GPP processes is introduced in this study, providing easy and effective communication of the environmental benefits of the products and services purchased. The method is intended for its use by public authorities and companies. The main novelty of the method lies in its ability to evaluate the achievement of each award criterion during the GPP process using a simplified life cycle assessment methodology and a further simplification of the environmental indicators in one score using TOPSIS. This method is applied to public procurement of urban furniture as a case study.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Direito: Especialidade em Ciências Juridico-Forenses apresentada à Faculdade de Direito A Contratação Pública, ao nível da formação dos contratos públicos, assume importância relevante nos quadrantes socioeconómicos do Estado, sendo merecedora de uma abordagem relativamente aos procedimentos adjudicatórios em vigor, concretamente no que respeita aos critérios de adjudicação na formação dos contratos públicos, tendo em conta a dinâmica contratual entre entidades adjudicantes, operadores económicos e sociedade em geral. Atendendo às alterações em curso no contexto legislativo nacional, na sequência da publicação de três Directivas no JOUE, em 28/03/2014, em matéria de Contratação Pública, pretende-se fazer a ligação dos critérios de adjudicação no âmbito da formação dos contratos públicos em vigor, enunciando as alterações plasmadas nas ditas Directivas, e as consequências decorrentes da transposição destas, para o Direito Português, segundo uma perspectiva pessoal. No âmbito do direito comparado, faz-se alusão, ainda que de forma breve, sobre os procedimentos adjudicatórios ao nível da Contratação Pública, bem como em alguns casos, ao enquadramento histórico dos contratos públicos. As regras jurídicas, e preceitos normativos implementados, a forma como se realiza a Contratação Pública nos Estados mencionados, as quais, e em alguns deles, espelham a primazia de factores políticos que estão subjacentes a tais tomadas de posição, em detrimento, a factores socioeconómicos, e ambientais, apesar de terem suporte na legislação portuguesa vigente. O Estado, na qualidade de autoridade adjudicante, e no exercício da sua actividade de prossecução do interesse público deve, com a abertura do procedimento concursal ter presente que lhe assiste o dever legal de proceder à adjudicação. A adjudicação firma-se em critérios, critérios estes que foram alvo de alterações legislativas no âmbito do Direito Comunitário, concretamente com o Directiva 2014/24/UE.Com os critérios de adjudicação efectivam-se as relações contratuais entre as entidades públicas e os operadores económicos (privados), no âmbito dos contratos públicos.Actualmente são dois os critérios de adjudicação em vigor, conforme preceitua o art.º 74º do CCP, os quais são objecto de alteração, cfr. pontos 89 e 90 do preâmbulo da Directiva e art.ºs 67º e 68º da Directiva 2014/24/UE, consistindo a alteração mais visível, na concreta forma como se irá proceder à escolha por parte da entidade adjudicante, sobre qual o critério a lançar no procedimento adjudicatório.Nesta medida, os critérios da proposta economicamente mais vantajosa para a entidade adjudicante e da proposta do mais baixo preço, são substituídos, predominantemente, pelo da proposta economicamente mais vantajosa, em termos económicos segundo o ponto de vista da entidade adjudicante, designadamente, ponderando uma abordagem custo-eficácia, custos do ciclo de vida, podendo, nessa medida, aferir-se a melhor relação qualidade-preço. No decurso de todo o processo de análise, podem/devem estar subjacentes outros critérios que incluam aspectos qualitativos, ambientais e/ou sociais ligados ao objecto do contrato público em causa.Cabe à entidade adjudicante especificar a ponderação atribuída a cada um dos critérios escolhidos para determinar a proposta economicamente mais vantajosa, excepto se esta for escolhida com base no preço. A Directiva 2014/24/UE deixa, no entanto, ao critério dos Estados-Membros o poder de decisão quanto à proibição ou restrição da utilização exclusiva do preço ou custo como critério avaliador da proposta economicamente mais vantajosa, se assim considerarem adequado. Public procurement, and especially writing public contracts, is of great importance in socio-economic sectors of the State, so careful attention should be given to current procedures for awarding contracts, and in particular to the criteria for awarding contracts, taking in to account the contractual dynamic between contracting authorities, economic operators and society at large. Given the changes currently being made in the context of Portuguese legislation since the publication of the three directives on public procurement in the OJEU of 28/03/2014, the aim of this work is to make a link between the criteria used in awarding public contracts already in force, the alterations in the aforementioned directives, and the consequences for Portuguese law resulting from the changes they bring, from a personal prospective. In comparative law, mention is made, even if only briefly, of procedures for awarding contracts for public procurement as well as, in some cases, the historical context of public contracts. The legal rules, legislative provisions implemented and the way public procurement is carried out in the States mentioned, often reflect the pre-eminence of underlying political factors, rather than socio-economic and environmental factors, despite there being legislation in force to support these issues in Portuguese law. As the contracting authority, the State, which has the responsibility for acting in the public interest, should, at the time of opening tender procedures, remember its legal duty in awarding contracts. Awarding a contract is based on criteria, and these criteria have been subject to legal changes under EU law, specifically from Directive 2014/24/EU.Using the award criteria, contractual relationships are established between public entities and (private) economic operators in the guise of public contracts.There are currently two award criteria currently in force, according to article 74 of the CCP (Portuguese Code of Public Contracts), which are subject to change, cf. points 89 and 90 of the preamble of the directive and articles 67 and 68 of the Directive 2014/24/EU. This is the most visible alteration regarding which criterion is used in the procurement process, and will have a direct effect on the procedure for how the contracting authority will choose contract winners.With these new measures, the criteria for the most economically advantageous proposal for the contracting authority and the lowest price proposal are replaced, predominantly, by criteria seeking the most economically advantageous proposal in economic terms from the standpoint of the contracting authority, which means looking at cost-efficiency and life-cycle costs to assess which is the best proposal in terms of price-quality. During the process of analysis, other underlying criteria can and must be accounted for, including qualitative, environmental and/or social factors linked to the public contract in question.The contracting authority is responsible for specifying the thinking behind how and what criteria are chosen to determine the most economically advantageous proposal, except where the choice is based solely on price. Directive 2014/24/EU does, however, leave it to the discretion of member states as to whether there is a prohibition or restriction on using price or cost as the sole criterion in evaluating the most economically advantageous proposal, should they consider that to be sufficient.

The current European regulation on public procurement recognizes the Most Economically Advantageous Tender as the main award criterion for awarding public contracts through competitive procedures. This leaves, though, public buyers with potentially many options for evaluating tenders. This paper discusses the main economic features of «scoring rules», that is, the mathematical methods to attribute financial scores. We consider a class of scoring rule commonly used in Italy, with a particular focus on the likely impact on the degree of (price) competition and the interaction with other elements of competitive tendering design.

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Bestangebotsvergabe von Bauaufträgen nach Bundesvergabegesetz. Aufgrund der aktuell anstehenden Neuauflage des Bundesvergabegesetzes wird nicht nur auf die aktuelle Gesetzeslage mit dem Bundesvergabegesetz 2006 und der Novelle 2015 eingegangen, sondern ein Vergleich der Handhabung des Bestangebotsverfahrens mit dem Begutachtungsentwurf des Bundesvergabegesetzes 2017 hergestellt. Es wird definiert, für welche Auftraggeber das Bundesvergabegesetz anzuwenden ist und welche Regeln vom öffentlichen Auftraggeber und welche vom Sektorenauftraggeber anzuwenden sind. Unter Anwendung der Gesetzesmaterie werden die für das Vergabeverfahren notwendigen Begriffe wie Eignungskriterien, Zuschlagskriterien etc. sowie Anwendungsregeln und Schwellenwerte beschrieben. Die Voraussetzungen zur verpflichtenden Anwendung des Bestangebotsverfahrens werden erörtert, der Umfang und verpflichtende Inhalt einer solchen Ausschreibung mit Umsetzungsbeispielen erklärt. Zur Verdeutlichung des Umfanges einer Vergabe nach dem Prinzip des technisch und wirtschaftlich günstigsten Angebotes werden verschiedene Bewertungsmethoden und Bewertungssysteme erklärt und miteinander verglichen, um für den Anwender eine Entscheidungsgrundlage zu schaffen, auf deren Basis eine Ausschreibung erstellt werden kann. Die durch die Neuerungen im Bundesvergabegesetz 2017 vorgesehenen Kostenmodelle auf der Grundlage von Lebenszykluskosten werden erklärt. Die Herausforderungen und Risiken werden nachstehend zusammengefasst, um eine Grundlage für zukünftige widerspruchsfreie und dem Gesetz entsprechende Bestangebotsverfahren zu bilden, die dem Auftraggeber einen Mehrwert liefert und dem qualifizierten Auftragnehmer eine faire Vergabe ermöglicht. This thesis attempts to determine the best offer procedure for building contracts, according to the Federal Procurement Act. Due to the currently pending new edition of the Procurement Law, this thesis not only addresses the current legal situation of the Bundesvergabegesetz 2006 and the 2015 Amendment, but also compares the best offer procedure and the draft of the Bundesvergabegesetz 2017. This thesis further delineates which contracting authorities are to be applied by the Federal Procurement Law, which rules are to be applied by the public contracting authority and which by public-sector awarding authorities. The application rules and threshold are described using legal terms like eligibility criteria, award criteria, etc. The conditions for the compulsory application of the best bidding procedure are also discussed within this thesis, and the scope and binding content of such an invitation are explained with examples of implementation. To clarify the scope of an award, according to the principle of the most technically and economically advantageous tender, different assessment methods and assessment systems are explained and compared. This is done to create a foundation for the user upon which an invitation to tender can be drawn up. The cost models are explained in terms of lifecycle costs, provided for by the innovations in the Bundesvergabegesetz 2017. The challenges and risks are summarized to provide a basis for future non-conflict. The best bidding procedures are also summarized to provide added value to the awarding authorities and allow the qualified contractor to make a fair allocation. vorgelegt von: Jürgen Krammer Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des Verfassers Wien, FH Campus Wien, Masterarb., 2017

[ES] La construcción pública ha sido, es y será uno de los pilares fundamentales del sector construcción español, si bien la actual situación de crisis económica y la reducción de la inversión pública en nuevas infraestructuras ha generado un descenso de actividad hasta niveles similares a los años noventa. El retorno a índices de actividad más elevados no solo se conseguirá con la recuperación de la economía del país, sino que será necesario realizar ciertas mejoras en los procesos de licitación con objeto de conseguir una mayor funcionalidad y flexibilidad en la contratación pública de obras., [EN] Public construction has been, is and will be one of the fundamental pillars of the Spanish construction sector, while the current economic depression and the reduction of public investment in new infrastructure has led to a decrease of activity as the 90’s. The return to higher activity rates will be achieved not only with the economic recovery of the country but would be necessary to make some improvements in the bidding process in order to achieve greater functionality and flexibility in the public procurement of works.
