AI generatedThe National Reconsideration Chamber allowed the appeal filed by PROMED S.A. against the tendering authority's decision to award a CT scanner contract. The authority had rejected offers below a minimum threshold but used a scoring formula that inadvertently awarded points to such rejected offers. The court found this violated the tender specifications and the principle of equal treatment, necessitating a re-evaluation of all bids using the correct formula.
