  4. Lessonslearnedandbestpracticesregardingtenderdocuments • Assessment capacity: Important to receive up-to-date procurement plans to plan capacity from backstopping experts (because of tight deadlines). • Four principles : 1) transparency; 2) equal and fair treatment of all tenderers; 3) strengthening of competition; 4) cost effective use of public resources. • Price only bid evaluation: General policy – we do not accept price only principle. EU based procurement laws always contain the possibility to award the contract to the most-economic offer. Procurement is about a professional use of the allocated tax payers/public resource for which we are accountable.
