RASK represents planning companies in a dispute with Est-For biorefinery.
Case
RASK represents joint bidders Artes Terrae and Alkranel, in their challenge of the State Support Centre (Riigi Tugiteenuste Keskus) decision to approve Skepast&Puhkim’s bid as consultant for the Est-For pulp mill special plan.
Since the price difference between the Artes Terrae and Alkranel bid and the winning company is almost 3.5 times, the decision cannot be justified by a difference in hourly costs, more efficient working methods or the like. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Skepast&Puhkim has tendered its offer at an unrealistically low price in order to win, and therefore it should be rejected by law. The contracting authority, Est-For, has acknowledged the offer as successful, although in the interests of a legitimate procurement procedure, it should first be ascertained on the basis of which value it is justified.
AB Artes Terrae OÜ has an extensive background in landscape architecture and planning, whose main activites are spatial planning, architectual and landscape architectual designing as well as landscape research.
Alkranel OÜ is a recognized consulting firm mainly consulting in the field of environment and planning, whose mission is to provide environmental solutions and advice that will ensure minimum negative environmental impacts.
