1 CTM Release notes 7.4.4

This document describes the version 7.4.4 of CTM.

None of the current features or changes in this release has any impact on the pre-existing functionality if not mentioned explicitly in this release notes, any training may thus be done post-release, if desired.

1.1 Tender management

1.1.1 Copy tender Two changes to copy tender

• Possibility to select another project at copy

The user can select from the list of project that he is allowed to create tenders within and selection to put the tender completely outside the project as well.

• A viewer of the source tender can copy the tender and will become the owner of the new

tender.

1.1.2 Digitally sign response

Digitally signing the tender response as a supplier has been extended and simplified, support for Norwegian BankId and Danish NemId is added. The signing using the two new certificates are

handled by a third-party provider (Signicat) via an integration and during signing process the supplier is redirected to Signicat when selecting to sign with Norwegian BankId or Danish NemId.

The below changes only apply in those tenders where the authority has required the suppliers to sign with digital signing certificate. Tenders without digital signing are not affected and are the same. EU-Supply are not a certificate provider and information about what a certificate is, where to obtain one and how to generally use it, please refer to your local certificate provider (National-ids etc.)

Page 4 of 13 The supplier first will get the choice of signing method, Installed certificate and Submit without digital signature are supported in CTM today prior release and the same screens as today will follow.

For more information on each signing method, the ? help is available for suppliers. Selecting BankId or NemId will redirect the supplier to Signicat signing process, the flow is similar, but different screens are shown. Both versions are seen below.

Signing with Norwegian BankId

BankId requires firstly the supplier to accept the content and signing.

The code in the text is the unique identifier of the submission, it is saved into CTM for future references.

Page 9 of 13 1.1.3 Configuring the tender for digital signing

When the authority sets up the tender to require digital signing, only one selection is available. The XadES validation applies to Installed certificate only. BankId and NemId has external verification methods, still the XadES have to be selected in order to require digital signing of response, even if the supplier uses BankId or NemId.

Procedure templates have been updated accordingly and no action is required by the authority for the new way to work.

1.1.4 Mark supplier response confidential

In some cases the information within a supplier response can be confidential and should not be sent externally. In previous CTM version, it has been possible for the authority to mark attached

documents within a response as confidential, upon a supplier request. It has been hard to mark specific documents and the list of documents can have been long. To make it easier, it is now possible to mark a whole supplier response as confidential instead.

One additional point in checklist have been added.

(10)

Page 10 of 13 Any confidentiality marked for a supplier response is clearly marked in any place the supplier

response is shown, two examples below.

The supplier does not see the confidentiality status and the functionality to set individual documents as confidential are not removed.

This is a sub-module within tender management, contact your local CTM distributor for more information.

1.1.5 Fax number removed from Achilles integration

When adding suppliers from the Achilles pre-qualification system (TransQ or Sellicha), the fax number has caused some issues in validation and import. Together with Achilles, we have taken the decision to remove the fax number from the import. If there is any fax number on the supplier profile in Achilles system, it will not be transferred to CTM.

1.2 Linear evaluation model with truncation in eAuction

In the eAuction, an additional auction evaluation method has been added, Linear weighted model with truncation. The selection of the model and parameters can done within the set-up of eAuction.

Each bidder technical weighting is setup in the auction preferences page per supplier, the technical weighting for each supplier have to a value between 0 and Tmax specified in the main auction preperations.

The calculation formula of the the new evaluation model is:

Rs = Tw * ( Ts / Tmax ) + ( 1 – Tw) * ( 1 – ( 1 – m ) ( ( Bs / Bmin ) - 1 ) / ( A – 1 ) ), if Bs <= A* Bmin Rs = 0 if Bs > A* Bmin

Where

Rs = Total weighted score for supplier

Tw = Technical section weight (0 =< Tw <1 strictly) Ts = Bidder S’ technical score (0 < Ts <= Tmax) Bs_{= Bidder S’ price bid}

(12)

Page 12 of 13

m = Min Points / Max points (0 =< m), the gap between truncation and valid bids according to

truncation factor (bid - bs < A * Bmin), lower m will allow smaller gap.

A = _{Constant defined in the parameter setup, A > 1. It’s the truncation ratio with respect to the}

minimum bid at which the pricing score becomes zero. A-1 = X in below diagram Bmin = lowest price bid at any point in time

Below diagram outlining an example of the linear bidding decrease.

Additional evaluation formulas in eAuctions are sub-modules to the eAuction module, contact your local CTM distributor for more information.
