abstract: Since the beginning of the 21 st century, European public authorities award infrastructure projects based on the ‘Most Economically Advantageous Tender’ (MEAT), as defined in the EU public procurement directives. This is a tender that aims to award based on added value, instead of just lowest price. This value is added in the form of MEAT criteria. However, little is known about the actual realization of these criteria. Furthermore, what factors influence this realization is also unknown. This thesis aims to find out to what extent MEAT criteria are realized, and what factors influence this realization. The results of this thesis indicate that MEAT criteria on average are realized to roughly 84%. Furthermore, sustainability criteria are realized to a greater extent than environmental hinder, management, or project-specific criteria. Lastly, a linear regression analysis found that, contrarily to relevant research, more contractor competition leads to lower MEAT criteria realization.
