Public procurements: the attribution of a score only may not satisfy the obligation of motivation
- 25/06/2018
By Judgment no. 3301 of 1st June 2018, the “Consiglio di Stato” has stated that, in a pairwise comparison, the motivation of an award can be satisfied by a simple score provided that the contract notice contains criteria which enable to clearly understand the connection between that score and the evaluation.
In the case at issue, each of the four evaluation parameters was made of multiple criteria, which were not given a specific importance in the determination of the final score.
Therefore, the “Consiglio di Stato” has ruled that the attribution of scores was not sufficient in order to satisfy the obligation of motivation.
