The overall purpose of the contracting authority’s needs to be covered by this procurement, is:
1. Reducing the number of different systems used in HR processes.
2. Improving integration between remaining systems
3. Creating data as close to the source as possible
4. Creating transparent and efficient system supported HR processes leading to improved User Experience

It is assumed, that the significant number of systems used in HR processes can be reduced, when the Application is implemented, as the functionality of the individual modules preferably are embedded in the proposed Application.
When HR processes are handled in third-party systems that are not included in this tender – e.g. payroll processing – it is assumed that the Application is integrated with the contracting authority’s third-party systems in such a way that all relevant master and transactional data flows to the third-party component and relevant transactional data flows to the Application. In the case of payroll processing – master data – such as names, addresses, organizational affiliation etc. as well as transactional data – e.g. a pay raise - should flow from the Application to the payroll system, whereas transactional data should flow from the payroll system to the Application – e.g. new current salary.
As much data as possible is to be created as close to the source as possible, in this case oftentimes by the mployees and managers at the Customer, who are assumed to have access to the system via a frontend client – preferable accessible from PC and mobile devices. The frontend should have as uniform a design as possible, allowing the users to seamlessly move between elements of the Application. The Customer thus expects to be presented for a SaaS solution ensuring combined data across the included modules and the capability to create unified reports consisting of data from the different modules.
It is expected that the Application is proposed as a SaaS Solution, hosted and managed by the Supplier, either as a single Provider or in a consortium between a SaaS Provider providing the user terms through the offered License terms and a Service Provider, providing the implementation and management (support) of the Application. The contracting authority accepts separate responsibility between the participants in the consortium. 

The following is an overview of the expected modules in the Application: 

• Core HR Management
• Employee / Manager Self-service
• Data and Reporting
• Time Management
• Vacation and Absence
• Recruitment, Onboarding and e-signature
• Talent Management (Performance Management, Career Development, Succession Planning etc.)
• Learning Management
• Survey
• Compensation Management

The Supplier shall provide competent and experienced ressouces to ensure timely Implementation of the proposed HCM application into the Customers workplace, including all integrations.  </cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">supplies</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cbc:Note languageID="ENG">Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic ten dering system used by the contracting entity. For access to the procurement documents, the candidate must be registered or register as a user. If the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply.
All communication in connection with the tender 
 procedure, including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering system. Questions must be submitted not later than 19 June 2024, end of day. Questions asked after this date will be answered if they are received in time for the contracting entity to provide the information required and communicate the answers not later than six days before expiry of the application deadline. Questions received later than six days before expiry of the deadline cannot expect to be answered unless the deadline is also postponed.
Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the candidate encounters problems with the system, please contact support by e-mail, dksupport@eu-supply.com, or telephone (+45) 70 20 80 14.

As its application, the candidate must submit an ESPD as preliminary documentation of the circumstances set out in section 148(1), paras (1)-(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven). It is not necessary for the candidate to sign the ESPD document. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for each participating operator. Where the candidate is a group of operators, the ESPD document of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in question. The candidate heading the group and submitting the application is not required to sign its ESPD document. The contracting authority accepts to enter into different contracts with the members of the consortium. Joint responsability is thus not required. 

If the candidate relies on the capacities of other entities, an ESPD must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which it relies. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must provide documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 151-152, cf. section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to the documentation mentioned in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the applicant may submit to the contracting entity a certificate of registration in an official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. The contracting entity only accepts certificates of registration in an official list from applicants established in the country holding the official list.
The contracting entity will select the number of candidates by applying the selection criteria stated 
in this contract notice, unless the contracting entity receives no more than the stated number of compliant requests for participation. It should be noted that the amount is an estimate of the expected contract price for the entire term of the contract, including the price of all options. 
It should be noted that each candidate may only submit one application for prequalification.
The contracting entity may use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act in the event that applications or tenders do not comply with the formal requirements of the tender documents.
Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, as amended, which applies to the tender procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the precise definition of the operators that are subject to the prohibition). The contracting entity reserves the right to require at any time during the tender process that the economic operators prove that they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation regarding the place of establishment and ownership of the economic operators and any sub contractors.

In addition to the indicated duration of contract, an expiry phase that is flexible in time will be required when the contract is at an end in order to ensure an undisturbed continuation of HR processes in connection with a possible re-tender.
The procurement is conducted subject to the achievement of the necessary funding basis.

A list of the 5 most significant comparable supplies and services that the candidate has carried out in the latest 3 years before the expiry of the deadline for application. References on implementation of the HCM application can be carried out in the latest 5 years before the expiry of the deadline for application. 

Only references relating to supplies and services carried out at the time of the deadline for application will be given importance in the evaluation of the reference. Hence, in the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the supplies and services already performed at the deadline for application will be included in the evaluation of the reference.
Each reference is requested to include a brief description of the deliveries made. The description of the delivery should include a clear description of the supplies (HCM Application) and services to which the delivery related and the candidate’s role(s) in the performance of the delivery. The reference is furthermore requested to include the financial value of the delivery (amount), the date of delivery and the name of the customer (recipient).
When indicating the date of the delivery, the candidate is requested to indicate the date of commencement and finalisation of the delivery. If this is not possible, for example if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement, the candidate is asked to indicate how the date is specified.
No more than 5 references may be stated, irrespective of whether the candidate is a single operator, whether the candidate relies on the technical capacity of other entities, or is a group of operators (e.g., a consortium). Where more than 5 references are stated, only the most recent 5 references will be taken into account. Any additional references will be disregarded. If it is not possible to decide which references are the most recent 5 references, the references will be selected by drawing lots.
Before the award decision is made, the candidate to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. No additional documentation of technical and professional capacity will be required from the candidate. However, the contracting entity reserves the right to contact the candidate or the customer stated in the reference for verification of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of the reference indicated.

The shortlisting of candidates invited to tender will be based on an evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries of the supplies and services covered by the contract.

The overall purpose of the contracting authority’s needs to be covered by this procurement, is:
1. Reducing the number of different systems used in HR processes.
2. Improving integration between remaining systems
3. Creating data as close to the source as possible
4. Creating transparent and efficient system supported HR processes leading to improved User Experience

It is assumed, that the significant number of systems used in HR processes can be reduced, when the Application is implemented, as the functionality of the individual modules preferably are embedded in the proposed Application.
When HR processes are handled in third-party systems that are not included in this tender – e.g. payroll processing – it is assumed that the Application is integrated with the contracting authority’s third-party systems in such a way that all relevant master and transactional data flows to the third-party component and relevant transactional data flows to the Application. In the case of payroll processing – master data – such as names, addresses, organizational affiliation etc. as well as transactional data – e.g. a pay raise - should flow from the Application to the payroll system, whereas transactional data should flow from the payroll system to the Application – e.g. new current salary.
As much data as possible is to be created as close to the source as possible, in this case oftentimes by the mployees and managers at the Customer, who are assumed to have access to the system via a frontend client – preferable accessible from PC and mobile devices. The frontend should have as uniform a design as possible, allowing the users to seamlessly move between elements of the Application. The Customer thus expects to be presented for a SaaS solution ensuring combined data across the included modules and the capability to create unified reports consisting of data from the different modules.
It is expected that the Application is proposed as a SaaS Solution, hosted and managed by the Supplier, either as a single Provider or in a consortium between a SaaS Provider providing the user terms through the offered License terms and a Service Provider, providing the implementation and management (support) of the Application. The contracting authority accepts separate responsibility between the participants in the consortium. 

The following is an overview of the expected modules in the Application: 

• Core HR Management
• Employee / Manager Self-service
• Data and Reporting
• Time Management
• Vacation and Absence
• Recruitment, Onboarding and e-signature
• Talent Management (Performance Management, Career Development, Succession Planning etc.)
• Learning Management
• Survey
• Compensation Management

The Supplier shall provide competent and experienced ressouces to ensure timely Implementation of the proposed HCM application into the Customers workplace, including all integrations.  </cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">supplies</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cbc:Note languageID="ENG">Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic ten dering system used by the contracting entity. For access to the procurement documents, the candidate must be registered or register as a user. If the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply.
All communication in connection with the tender 
 procedure, including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering system. Questions must be submitted not later than 19 June 2024, end of day. Questions asked after this date will be answered if they are received in time for the contracting entity to provide the information required and communicate the answers not later than six days before expiry of the application deadline. Questions received later than six days before expiry of the deadline cannot expect to be answered unless the deadline is also postponed.
Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the candidate encounters problems with the system, please contact support by e-mail, dksupport@eu-supply.com, or telephone (+45) 70 20 80 14.

As its application, the candidate must submit an ESPD as preliminary documentation of the circumstances set out in section 148(1), paras (1)-(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven). It is not necessary for the candidate to sign the ESPD document. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for each participating operator. Where the candidate is a group of operators, the ESPD document of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in question. The candidate heading the group and submitting the application is not required to sign its ESPD document. The contracting authority accepts to enter into different contracts with the members of the consortium. Joint responsability is thus not required. 

If the candidate relies on the capacities of other entities, an ESPD must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which it relies. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must provide documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 151-152, cf. section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to the documentation mentioned in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the applicant may submit to the contracting entity a certificate of registration in an official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. The contracting entity only accepts certificates of registration in an official list from applicants established in the country holding the official list.
The contracting entity will select the number of candidates by applying the selection criteria stated 
in this contract notice, unless the contracting entity receives no more than the stated number of compliant requests for participation. It should be noted that the amount is an estimate of the expected contract price for the entire term of the contract, including the price of all options. 
It should be noted that each candidate may only submit one application for prequalification.
The contracting entity may use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act in the event that applications or tenders do not comply with the formal requirements of the tender documents.
Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, as amended, which applies to the tender procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the precise definition of the operators that are subject to the prohibition). The contracting entity reserves the right to require at any time during the tender process that the economic operators prove that they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation regarding the place of establishment and ownership of the economic operators and any sub contractors.

In addition to the indicated duration of contract, an expiry phase that is flexible in time will be required when the contract is at an end in order to ensure an undisturbed continuation of HR processes in connection with a possible re-tender.
The procurement is conducted subject to the achievement of the necessary funding basis.
