VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION IN THE ESPD:
Before DR's decision to award the contract, DR must demand that the Tenderer, which DR intends to award the contract to, present documentation for the information stated in the ESPD. The documentation concerns the requirements made for the Tenderer's personal affairs (exclusion grounds cf. the Tender conditions section 8.2). If the presented documentation is not adequate, DR will declare the bid non-compliant. DR will then assess if DR wants to cancel the procurement procedure or ask the Tenderer that has submitted the second best bid, under the award criterion in clause 8.5, to present documentation for the information given in the ESPD for the purpose of awarding the contract to this Tenderer. If the documentation is not sufficient, DR will again assess if the procurement procedure should be cancelled or if the third best Tenderer should be requested to submit documentation, and so on.
Businesses registered in Denmark: As documentation regarding the exclusion grounds, DR will demand that a service certificate is produced from the winning Tenderer (according to section 153(1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act). The obtained service certificate must contain the following:
• Information that the winning Tenderer as a business has complied with its obligations to the public as regards payment of taxes, charges and contributions to social security schemes,
• Information that the winning Tenderer as a business is not in bankruptcy, liquidation, restructuring or a similar situation, and
• Information that the winning Tenderer as a business (and managerial staff and persons having authorisation to represent, control or make decisions in the management of the business) has not been sentenced for any crimes.
DR accepts Danish service certificate until 6 months after they are issued.
European businesses: For businesses registered in a European country, the documentation must comply with the applicable rules for documentation in the country in which the Tenderer is established. European countries can make use of eCertis, which is an information system that helps businesses with identifying which documentation (including certificates) is required in the tender procedures across the EU. Please be aware that eCertis is a reference tool and not a system for legal advice. There is no guarantee that the results of the search in eCertis complies with what is required by DR.
Non-European businesses: For businesses not registered in a European country, the documentation must follow the rules for documentation implemented in the country in which the Tenderer is established. Non-European businesses cannot use eCertis.
NOTIFICATION OF THE RESULT OF DR's EVALUATION OF THE BIDS:
All participants in the procurement procedure will be informed simultaneously and in writing of the result of DR's evaluation of the bids. The notification to the winning Tenderer that its bid has been identified as the winning bid, is a declaration that DR intends to award and thus conclude an agreement with said Tenderer. There is no binding agreement or a promise to that effect until the contract has been signed by both parties. The contract is signed immediately after expiry of the stand-still period, unless during this period an official complaint is submitted to the Public Contracts Appeals Board. DR does not consider the procurement procedure completed until the contract has been signed.
Notification about the result of the procurement procedure will also be announced in the Official Journal of the European Communities in compliance with applicable rules to that effect.
