Procedure

Description: DRH calls for tenders for transport and utillization of slag from the Danish Waste to Energy Plant Nordværk Affaldsenergi, Aalborg.

Procedure identifier: 87818a9f-5a0f-432e-9caf-7f908c8ef2b7
Type of procedure: Negotiated with prior publication of a call for competition / competitive with negotiation
The procedure is accelerated: no
Main features of the procedure: DRH reserves the right to award the contract based on the first negotiating tenders, and the tenderers may expect that the contract is awarded based on the first negotiating tender. In that case, the tenderers may not submit another final tender and no negotiations will be conducted. DRH will evaluate the negotiating tenders by using the award criterion stipulated in section 1.10.. As the tender is expected to lead to offers based on different commercial technical solutions and there may also be an element of new development of technological solutions, there may be a need for negotiations to clarify technical or economic questions. If DRH chooses to conduct negotiations, the negotiations with the tenderers will be based on the negotiating tenders. New information that may be provided to one tenderer during negotiations with that tenderer will, as soon as possible, be provided to the other tenderers. DRH repeat the procedure by inviting the tenderers to submit a revised negotiating tender followed by subsequent negotiation thereof, until DRH finds it appropriate to invite the tenderers to submit a final tender that will be evaluated by DRH based on the award criterion stipulated for the procedure. Within the framework of the public procurement rules, DRH is entitled to carry out conclusive negotiations with the successful tenderer following the award decision.
