Article 3e Ensuring sustainable and resilient supply chains for urban buses through public procurement procedures

1. Resumen

,
Article 3e 1.
Contracting authorities and contracting entities shall base the award of public supply contracts for the purchase, lease, rent or hire-purchase of new zero-emission urban buses, as well as of public service contracts having as their main subject matter the use of such urban buses, on the most economically advantageous tender which shall include the best price-quality ratio.
Article 3e 2.

Contracting authorities and contracting entities shall use at least two of the following criteria as technical specifications or as award criteria, at least one of which shall relate to the tender’s contribution to the security of supply as set out in points (a) to (d), depending on the market situation and in compliance with Directive 2014/23/EU, 2014/24/EU or 2014/25/EU, and applicable sectoral legislation, as well as with the Union’s international commitments, including the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (the “GPA”) and other international agreements by which the Union is bound:

(a) 

the proportion of the products of tenders originating in third countries, as determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 7 ); that criterion shall only apply to products of tenders originating in countries that are not parties to the GPA and that have not concluded a free trade agreement, including rules on public procurement, with the Union;

(b) 

the current and estimated availability of essential spare parts for the functioning of the equipment that is the subject of the tender;

(c) 

a commitment by the tenderer that possible changes in its supply chain during the execution of the contract will not adversely affect the execution of the contract;

(d) 

certification or documentation demonstrating that the organisation of the tenderer’s supply chain allows it to comply with the security of supply requirement;

(e) 

environmental sustainability going beyond the minimum requirements provided for in applicable Union legal acts.

The first subparagraph shall not preclude contracting authorities and contracting entities from using additional criteria.
Article 3e 3.
If the tender’s contribution to security of supply is used as an award criterion, it shall be given a weighting of between 15 to 40 % of the award criteria.
