hindamisdokumentides

Hindamisdokumentides is a term used in Estonian procurement practice to refer to the documentation that describes how bids will be evaluated in a procurement procedure. The documents explain the criteria, their weights, the scoring method, and the procedures for handling bids, clarifications, and deviations. They aim to ensure transparency, non-discrimination, and objective decision-making in tender processes.

A typical hindamisdokumentides content set includes the description of the procurement and the tender procedure, the list of evaluation criteria (such as technical suitability, experience, references, and price), the scoring method and weightings, any minimum requirements, and the rules for normalizing scores. They also detail the process for clarifications, handling deviations, the aggregation of scores, and the method used to determine the winner. Information on confidentiality, access to information, record-keeping, and the right to debriefing and appeals may also be included.

Role in the procurement process: hindamisdokumentides guide the evaluation committee, establish timelines, and specify who evaluates bids and how scores are combined. They provide the evidentiary basis for the award decision and are used in bid debriefings or dispute resolution.

Legal and regulatory context: in Estonia, hindamisdokumentides are part of the procurement documentation and must conform to applicable procurement laws and regulations. They support competition, fairness, and accountability in public procurement and are subject to audit and, if applicable, public disclosure requirements.
