03Strategic insight
Strategic insight · AI analysis
Focus on the best price-quality ratio during the tender, as this is the central award criterion. Take into account the organizational merger of the contracting authority in 2028, which may limit the contract duration to the end of 2027. Ensure a strict separation between advisory services and the subsequent tender phases to prevent exclusion due to conflict of interest.
