Zuschlagskriterien
Kriterium:
Art: Preis
Bezeichnung: Price (100%)
Beschreibung: The awarding criterion used in the Initial Offer Phase and the BAFO Phase is Lowest Price. The BAFO must be based on the final policy wording. The lowest price award criterion is used because the Offshore Liability insurance which is the subject of this tender can be seen as a market standard product. Based on the knowledge of the contracting entity of the insurance market the contracting entity concluded that only a limited number of insurers is capable of underwriting an Offshore liability insurance of this size. Since the wording will be customised during the negotiation phase of this tender and all insurers will use the defined wording during the BAFO phase there are very little differentiators between the qualified insurers left therefore only the premium (lowest price) will be used as award criterium. TenneT holds the right to share the terms & conditions (share & premium) of the awarded leading insurer for the primary (Lot 1) with all participants of the following lots (Lot 2) but is not obliged to do so. * BIPAR: (Bureau International des Producteurs d'Assurance et de Réassurance, the European Federation of Insurance Brokers), which requires that the Leading Insurer determines the price and/or the terms. Deviations above or below by Following Insurers apply only to their respective shares. A Following Insurer determines neither the premium nor the terms for the other insurers involved.
