The Royal Danish Embassy wishes to engage a Consultant to perform the following services: 1. Conduct financial audits of the Danida PHC programme in accordance with International Standards of Auditing (ISA) and Appendix 1 2. Plan and perform procedures related to compliance audits 3. Plan and perform procedures related to performance audits The Consultant is expected to perform audits on PHC for financial year 25/26, including spill over from 24/25 and financial year 26/27. The purpose of the audits is to confirm that Danida PHC programme funds have been used for the intended purposes, and in an efficient and economical manner in line with the financing covenants between Danida and GOK and relevant financial regulations and guidelines. The Consultant shall review and report on whether the financial statements of the funded activities present fairly, in all material respects, revenues received, costs incurred, and commodities and technical assistance directly procured under the programme for the period audited in conformity with the terms of the agreements and generally accepted accounting principles or other comprehensive basis of accounting. As such, the objective of the financial audits and performed procedures related to compliance and performance audits are: 1. To form an opinion on whether the annual financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with established financial guidelines for reporting. 2. To enable the RDE to determine whether funds disbursed have been used in compliance with, and in all material respects with, all applicable laws and agreements covering the Danida PHC programme. 3. To enable the RDE to determine whether funds disbursed have been spent in an economical way, in all material respects, and to obtain reasonable assurance whether the systems, processes and transactions examined support the exercise of sound, transparent and accountable financial management in the administration of the funds granted by the RDE. 4. In respect of the compliance and performance audits, it is not a requirement that these be performed against any specific international standards, but Kenyan accounting principles for government expenditures must be followed, as well as International Standards for Auditing.

Zentrale Elemente des VerfahrensAccess to the procurement procedure requires online registration. Guidance (in Danish and English) on the use of the tendering system can be found at: https://mercell.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/3/article/177996038?src=1869524006 Economic operators may only submit one application (request to Participate) or tender. Economic operators must submit a European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) as preliminary evidence, that the economic operator is not subject to exclusion grounds and that the economic operator fulfils the requirements for economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability. When the economic operator is participating together with others or if the economic operator relies on the capacity of other entities, each participating economic operator must provide a separate ESPD. In Part III.A-C of the ESPD, economic operators must answer whether they are subject to exclusion grounds, listed in section 2.1.6 of this contract notice. An economic operator is not required to answer whether it is subject to purely national exclusion grounds, cf. Part III.D of the ESPD. In addition to the exclusion grounds in section 2.1.6, an economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if the economic operator is established in a country which is entered on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes and which has not adopted the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) or other trade agreements that oblige Denmark to open its market for public contracts for tenderers established in the country in question, cf. section 134a of the Danish Public Procurement Act. The maximum budget for the present Consultancy, i.e. the Tender Budget, is DKK 2,000,000 (DKK 2 million) net of VAT and excludes the budgets for Optional Tasks and the possible Phase 2. Tenders will be rejected if they exceed the contracting authority's maximum Tender budget Economic operators will not receive remuneration for their participation in the procedure.

The contract cannot be awarded to a tenderer subject to Article 5k(1) of Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 of 31 July 2014, as amended by Council Regulation (EU) No 2023/1214 of 23 June 2023 Before the time limit for receipt of tenders, the candidates, which the contracting authority has invited to tender, must present documentation of the information provided in the ESPD. The contracting authority can accept the following documentation in relation to the exclusion grounds in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (in order of priority): (1) Extracts from the relevant register or similar documents issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority or certificates issued by the competent authority in the country referred to as documentation that the tenderer is not subject to the grounds for exclusion stipulated in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2); (2) A declaration on oath (only if such extracts, certificates or similar documents are not issued in the country where the economic operator is established, or where the documentation does not cover all the grounds for exclusion stipulated in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) entirely); (3) A solemn declaration made by the person concerned before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary or a competent professional or trade body, in the country of origin or in the country where the economic operator is established (only if there is no provision for declarations on oath in the country where the economic operator is established). Thus, the contracting authority cannot accept e.g. a solemn declaration made before a notary if there can be issued a certificate by the competent authority in the country where the economic operator is established. Moreover, the contracting authority cannot accept self-declarations or similar declarations issued by the economic operator or the person concerned as documentation in relation to the exclusion grounds. Economic operators can identify the relevant documentation using the online platform e-Certis: https://ec.europa.eu/tools/ecertis If an economic operator is entered on an official list of approved economic operators or has an equivalent certificate (e.g. under a national (pre)qualification system), the economic operator may refer to the list in question or present a certificate issued by the competent authority instead of documentation of the information provided in the ESPD. When an economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others, the economic operator must present a joint statement from all the participating economic operators which identifies the member of the group who can act as an agent on behalf of the group with mandate to establish a legal obligation on behalf of the group in relation to the contracting authority. Economic operators are encouraged to submit all necessary documentation as early as possible. Prior to the signing of the contract, the tenderer, which the contracting authority has awarded the contract to, must present statements of availability from all non-permanent staff (e.g. project specific consultants or freelance consultants). This contract has not been divided into lots, cf. section II.1.6), due to minimization of administration.

If an economic operator has listed more than 5 contracts, the contracting authority will only read and assess the 5 most recent contracts listed (first based on end date and then based on start date). Each listed contract should include the following information: (1) a description of the contract (nature and quantity of services from the economic operator and how they compare to the description of this procurement), (2) amount (remuneration received by the economic operator for the performance of the services), (3) start date (date of conclusion of the contract), (4) end date (date of completion of services), and (5) recipient (name and contact information). The contracting authority reserves the right to contact the recipients of services or require statements from the recipients, confirming that the economic operator has performed the listed contracts, as documentation in relation to the technical and professional ability. When an economic operator is formed by a group of economic operators or relies on the technical and professional abilities of other entities, the economic operator must also provide statements of support or other documentation proving that the economic operator has access to the necessary technical and professional abilities. The statements of support must establish a legal obligation for the party concerned and state the parts of the contract to be performed by the party concerned.
