standardtilbud

Standardtilbud is a term often encountered in the context of public procurement in Denmark. It refers to a type of procurement procedure where the contracting authority can award the contract without further negotiation, based on the submitted tenders. This means that the most economically advantageous tender, as defined by the award criteria, will win the contract immediately after the tender deadline.

The key characteristic of a standardtilbud procedure is its simplicity and efficiency. It is designed to be a straightforward process where bidders submit their best offer upfront. The contracting authority then evaluates these offers against predetermined criteria, such as price, quality, or a combination of both. Once the evaluation is complete, the contract is awarded to the bidder who meets the criteria best. This contrasts with other procurement procedures that might involve multiple rounds of negotiation or clarification.

Standardtilbud procedures are typically used for procurements where the requirements are well-defined and unlikely to change significantly during the procurement process. They are often employed for relatively standard goods or services where competition is expected to be robust. The transparency of the award criteria is crucial in this type of procedure to ensure fairness and prevent disputes. Bidders are expected to understand the requirements and submit their final offer accordingly.
