</cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cbc:Note languageID="ENG">Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering 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. 

Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the candidate encounters problems with the system, please contact support by telephone +45 7022 7007

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. 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 and tenderer 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 and tenderers established in the country holding the official list.

The candidate must also submit a letter of commitment in which the entity/entities on which the candidate relies has/have undertaken joint and several liability with the candidate if the candidate is awarded the contract. The form is enclosed as Appendix H to the tender specifications.

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 extension options. The estimate is based on on historical data as well as the expected value including all services covered by the tendered Contract.

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 re-serves 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 subcontractors.

Pursuant to the Danish Investment Screening Act (https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/1256) economic operators i) that are domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) are controlled by or subject to significant influence as defined in the Act from an entity domiciled in or a national of a country outside the EU or EFTA must apply to the Danish Business Authority for an authorization to enter into a “special financial agreement” within a particularly sensitive sector or activity. The contracting entity has assessed that the conclusion of the contract may be subject to the authorization requirement. The tenderer should clarify whether tenderer’s conclusion of the contract will be subject to such requirement. Further details are available at https://businessindenmark.virk.dk/guidance/erst-activities-covered-by-the-investment-screening-act/Special-financial-agreements/.

A list of the 5 most significant comparable services that the candidate has carried out in the latest 3 years before the expiry of the deadline for application. 

Only references relating to services carried out at the time of the deadline for application will be given importance in the evaluation of whether the minimum requirements regarding technical and professional capacity have been complied with, see below. Hence, in the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the services already performed at the time of 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 services to which the delivery relates 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 finalization 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. 

In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the technical capacity of other operators to fulfill the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their technical capacity available to the candidate must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as Appendix H to the tender specifications. If the candidate relies on the professional experience of other entities for the performance of specific parts of the services comprised by the Contract, such specific parts of the services under the Contract must be performed by the entity on which the candidate relies. 

The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfills the minimum suitability requirements in respect of technical and professional capacity. 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:
The shortlisting of candidates invited to the tender will be based on evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries (references) in relation to the services put up for tender, see description of the procurement in this contract notice.

The relevance assessment will be made on the basis of the extent to which the references document experience in the provision of comparable services, see description of the procurement in this contract notice, “II) Main Services, litra A-D”, in connection to the general characteristics as stated in the description of the procurement in this contract notice “I) Background and purpose”.

</cbc:Description><cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode><cbc:Note languageID="ENG">Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering 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. 

Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the candidate encounters problems with the system, please contact support by telephone +45 7022 7007

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. 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 and tenderer 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 and tenderers established in the country holding the official list.

The candidate must also submit a letter of commitment in which the entity/entities on which the candidate relies has/have undertaken joint and several liability with the candidate if the candidate is awarded the contract. The form is enclosed as Appendix H to the tender specifications.

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 extension options. The estimate is based on on historical data as well as the expected value including all services covered by the tendered Contract.

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 re-serves 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 subcontractors.

Pursuant to the Danish Investment Screening Act (https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/1256) economic operators i) that are domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) are controlled by or subject to significant influence as defined in the Act from an entity domiciled in or a national of a country outside the EU or EFTA must apply to the Danish Business Authority for an authorization to enter into a “special financial agreement” within a particularly sensitive sector or activity. The contracting entity has assessed that the conclusion of the contract may be subject to the authorization requirement. The tenderer should clarify whether tenderer’s conclusion of the contract will be subject to such requirement. Further details are available at https://businessindenmark.virk.dk/guidance/erst-activities-covered-by-the-investment-screening-act/Special-financial-agreements/.
