Experts chosen to evaluate individual tenders should not know each other. They shall write their evaluation independently on each other. They shall convene only if their conclusions were not unequivocal.*
* Example: Three selected experts evaluate two offers. All three agree in their evaluations that the first offer is the best; in such a case they do not meet. However, if two experts favoured the first offer, but the third the second offer, those experts would meet to compare their evaluations.
If the concrete evaluators did not know each other and established the bid evaluation in writing, and if possible independently of each other, it would be possible to prevent their collusion with a view to favour certain bid on the basis of other than objective criteria.
