Key legal question
Whether the award violated equal treatment because Y.________ SA offered machines above the stated performance limit.
Extracted holding
No. The performance indication was treated as a parameter for calculating the copy price, not an exclusionary technical ceiling; the offer was compatible with the tender.
Extracted reasoning
The tender aimed at obtaining the lowest copy-service price. Choosing more efficient but cheaper machines did not disadvantage the contracting authority, and the appellant showed no contractual arrangement making the performance limit binding in the claimed way.
