✓The delivery period must be indicated by each bidder in calendar days starting after contract conclusion or order date, with a hard latest delivery date of 23/12/2026.

✓Award criteria and weighting are explicitly set out.

✓There are three criteria: Quality (40%), Price (40%), and Service & Support (20%).

✓Quality is assessed against the minimum technical specifications in Part III; failure to meet any minimum renders the offer inadmissible.

✓Such as: extra performance beyond the minimum, when relevant to Sciensano’s needs, can increase the score, using a scale (0–40 points from “very weak” to “excellent”).

✓Price is evaluated via a proportional formula: (lowest offer price / analysed offer price) × 40 points, using prices in the inventory, which must include all direct and indirect costs except VAT.

✓Service & Support (20 points) covers after‑sales service, training, warranty terms and delivery time, scored on a 0–20 scale; aspects like training duration and materials, confirmation of meeting delivery/installation requirements, warranty length and coverage, maintenance contract details, and responsiveness/availability of support (phone/online, repair lead times) are examined.

✓The documents also detail risks and special conditions.

✓Such as: the offer validity (commitment) period is 180 calendar days from the submission deadline; substantial irregularities in offers (e.g. missing qualified e‑signature, missing separate base/option) may be regularised before negotiations, but late or paper offers cannot.

✓Early termination “without fault” is possible by either party on each anniversary with 90 days’ prior registered letter.

✓Sciensano may exclude operators at any stage for breaches of environmental, social or labour law or professional integrity.

✓The contractor must comply with GDPR, confidentiality duties, labour and anti‑discrimination laws, refrain from using illegally staying third‑country nationals or severely underpaying wages, and include chain‑clauses in subcontracts.

✓On contradictions or corrections, the French and Dutch versions are parallel and broadly consistent: for example, both confirm that no price revision is granted because it is a one‑off purchase; both set the same award criteria and percentages; both state that the contracting authority is not obliged to award the contract and may restart the procedure.

✓Where minor wording differences exist (such as small translation nuances), the substantive rule is the same.

✓For errors or gaps in the tender documents that prevent price calculation or comparison, both versions state that the bidder must inform the contracting authority in writing immediately and at the latest 10 days before the offer deadline; in case of divergent statements, the specific clause in the “cahier des charges/bestek” governing that aspect should prevail, and the bidder should request clarification within that question period via the formal Q&A channel.
