The procurement is for chemicals and chemicals for water treatment at municipal waterworks and treatment plants. The products ́ primary function is to clean drinking water and prevent discharge to waterways. The products are industrial chemicals with a fixed composition regulated by product standards and the drinking water regulations. The contracting authority does not have the possibility to influence the product design, production process or climate footprint through its requirement specifications. There is, therefore, not a real basis for differentiating between tenderers on an environment based award criteria for the products. Transport and logistics connected to the delivery of the products is the part of the delivery that the contracting authority can influence. The contracting authority has therefore chosen to set minimum requirements that all distribution shall occur with vehicles that as a minimum fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard and that the vehicles shall not be left unnecessary when idling for delivery. The contracting authority has determined that electrical operation of the vehicles cannot be required, as distribution of treatment chemicals to partly remote installations, under varying conditions and in extraordinary events, requirements for range and operational safety such as electric heavy vehicles at the time of publication cannot be met. The contracting authority deems that consideration to security of supplies and stand-by for socially critical water infrastructure is a justifiable and proportional justification for utilising the exception in FF § 7-9 (3) in this procurement.
