"Far too often, the cheapest offers come first in public tenders. At times, the price stated is so low that it raises the suspicion that it has been lowered intentionally, and in prevailing market conditions, successful tenderers may find it difficult to fulfil their obligations. The issue of tenders based on excessively low prices is often raised in conversations with entrepreneurs from my country. They stress that price is an important factor that cannot be excluded, but that there are limits to the economic profitability of offers, in particular, when tenders are submitted which deviate significantly from the calculations carried out by the bodies responsible for the preparation of tenders and the awarding of contracts. Therefore, I agree with the principles of the resolution which state that we should be using the criterion of the most economically advantageous offer, encompassing the entire life-cycle costs of goods, services and works which are the subject of public procurement."@en1
