1.

Misappraisal of the facts concerning the applicant’s tender

The defendant body rejected the University of Athens’ tender on the ground that the proposed members of the project team did not possess the requisite technical and professional ability for the work covered by the contract notice and it ruled out further examination of its proposal. In reality, however, the professional and technical activities of the members of the project team demonstrate their professional and technical sufficiency for performing the work covered by the contract notice.

2.

Error in the decision as regards the assessment criteria

The committee considered that the members of the project team in the applicant’s proposal would not be able to perform a systematic review of the contract’s subject-matter. However, not only did the members of the project team possess such experience, but even if that were not so the relevant condition regarding adequacy in systematic analysis had not been laid down in the contract notice as a condition which would determine the result of the assessment as an essential precondition for the award of the contract, that condition instead concerning a quality that would be assessed together with the other qualities.

3.

Unlawful statement of reasons — lack of legal basis for the reasons stated

The second ground of the contested measure refers to the applicant’s lack of ability to implement an evidence-based medicine approach. However, that method is not referred to at any point in the text of the contract notice as one of the criteria for selecting the most suitable contractor for performing the work put out to tender.

4.

Unlawful failure to provide in the contract notice and the contested decision for the possibility of seeking administrative redress

The fact that the contract notice and the contested decision do not provide for the possibility of seeking redress before an administrative body designated by them in order to have the measure of the defendant body’s committee annulled or amended is unlawful because it is contrary to the principles of good administration and legality that are enshrined in European Union law.
