According to Emergency Ordinance no. 34/2006, regarding the assignment of public acquisition contracts, public works concession contracts and service concession contracts (the “Ordinance”), the beneficiary must indicate, in the participation ad, the criterion for the assignment of the relevant public acquisition contract, which, once determined, may not be changed during the unfolding of the whole assignment procedure.
A criterion for the assignment of public acquisition contracts may be only:
a) either the most economically profitable bid;
b) or, exclusively, the lowest price.
Where a public acquisition contract is assigned by employing the competitive dialog procedure, the assignment criterion must be the most economically profitable bid only.
