The Danish Public Procurement Act (in Danish) is available on: https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/10
Access 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.
Economic operators will not receive remuneration for their participation in the procedure.

EUACI requires the full cycle of event management services, particularly in Kyiv but also around the country. In Phase II (2020-2024), EUACI held around 110-140 events, where around 60% took place in Kyiv, and around 40% took place in the remaining parts of Ukraine. EUACI estimates a similar number and distribution of events during the Contract period.
EUACI requires an experienced event management and catering agency in order to provide organization of events including logistical support, booking of conference halls, interpretation services and coffee breaks etc. during events in Kyiv and for the entire country.
In the Contract Period, thus in total up to 48 months, the estimated value of the framework agreement is DKK 7,500,000 (EUR 1.000.000) net of VAT, without the option for additional services, which equals an additional DKK 1.500.000, thus the framework agreement has a maximum value of DKK 9,000,000.
EUACI does not guarantee that the actual and accumulated expenditure will reach the estimated value. 
The service fee to the Supplier is included in the estimated value of the framework agreement.

</cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cbc:Note languageID="ENG">In the tender, economic operators must submit a completed and signed statement regarding Article 5k(1) of Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 of 31 July 2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine, as amended by Council Regulation (EU) No 2023/1214 of 23 June 2023. 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.

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.

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.

EUACI requires the full cycle of event management services, particularly in Kyiv but also around the country. In Phase II (2020-2024), EUACI held around 110-140 events, where around 60% took place in Kyiv, and around 40% took place in the remaining parts of Ukraine. EUACI estimates a similar number and distribution of events during the Contract period.
EUACI requires an experienced event management and catering agency in order to provide organization of events including logistical support, booking of conference halls, interpretation services and coffee breaks etc. during events in Kyiv and for the entire country.
In the Contract Period, thus in total up to 48 months, the estimated value of the framework agreement is DKK 7,500,000 (EUR 1.000.000) net of VAT, without the option for additional services, which equals an additional DKK 1.500.000, thus the framework agreement has a maximum value of DKK 9,000,000.
EUACI does not guarantee that the actual and accumulated expenditure will reach the estimated value. 
The service fee to the Supplier is included in the estimated value of the framework agreement.

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.

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.

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.
