The National Reconsideration Chamber allowed the appeal against the hospital's contract award decision, ordering a new evaluation of the offers. The court found that the contracting authority failed to verify the validity of the winning offer before assigning points for technical criteria, a procedural error the bidders could not have effectively challenged earlier. Consequently, the court ruled that the contract award was flawed and must be repeated with the correct interpretation of the tender specifications.
