The procurement is covered by the rules of the Public Procurement Act § 5b, which includes requirements for safeguarding climate and the environment in public procurement processes. The contracting authority considers that combining climate and environmental considerations as the award criterion with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specifications gives a better climate and environmental effect than only using climate and environmental considerations as an award criterion in the competition, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 5b second paragraph of the third period. The contracting authority has therefore chosen to use both climate and environmental considerations as the award criteria, as well as to set minimum requirements for climate and the environment to ensure that the procurement results in the desired climate and environmental effects. Maritime safety courses have identified low climate intensity, [ME1.1], where the climate and environmental impact are mainly related to travel and residence. Minimum requirements are made that at least 50% of the planned passenger transport to and from the course place included in the course delivery shall be carried out with public transport. This shall ensure the desired effect connected to reduction of direct emissions of CO2 ekv from the procurement. At the same time, the contracting authority sees an environmental added value by awarding tenderers for an increased level of measures to reduce the climate and environmental impact from travel and stay logistics related to the course delivery and to reduce the number of journeys and stays for the participants. These elements will therefore be evaluated as part of the award criterion Climate and Environment in the competition.
