EUOSHA/2021/OP/F/SE/0142  4  Evaluation and award  The evaluation of the tenders that comply with the submission conditions will consist of the following  elements:  The  contracting authority  will evaluate the above-mentioned elements in the order that it considers to  be the most appropriate.  If the evaluation of one or more elements demonstrates that there are grounds for rejection, the tender  will be rejected and will not be subjected to further full evaluation. The unsuccessful tenderers will be  informed of the ground for rejection without being given feedback on the non-assessed content of their  tenders. Only the tenderer(s) for whom the verification of all elements did not reveal grounds for  rejection can be awarded the contract.  The evaluation will be based on the information and evidence contained in the tenders and, if applicable,  on additional information and evidence provided at the request of the  contracting authority  during the  procedure. If any of the declarations or information provided proves to be false, the  contracting authority may impose administrative sanctions (exclusion or financial penalties) on the entity providing the false  declarations/information.  For the purposes of the evaluation related to exclusion and selection criteria, the  contracting authority may also refer to publicly available information, in particular evidence that it can access on a national  database free of charge.  The objective of the exclusion criteria is to assess whether the tenderer is in any of the exclusion  situations listed in Article 136(1) of the Financial Regulation.
