NUTS Code : DK
The supplier will be the primary provider of consultancy services and it is therefore expected that the supplier is able to offer the right qualifications for a given task. This framework agreement is however not exclusive and DALO is not obliged to buy a minimum of consultancy services. The engineering or technician consultancy services will consist of different assignments within following areas:
— Electrical technology,
— Ship engineering,
— Aircraft engineering,
— Machine- and production technology.
The tenderer must use the European Single Procurement Document (hereafter ESPD — electronic version eESPD) and provide the following information in the eESPD:
Its general yearly turnover for the last 1 (one) financial year to the extent such information is available, cf. Part IV, section B.
Upon request from DALO the tenderer must submit the following documentation:
Annual reports or excerpts hereof or other documentation stating the tenderer's general yearly turnover for the last 1 (one) financial year if publication of annual reports is required under the law of the country in which the tenderer is established, and to the extent such information is available. When groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate in the tender procedure together, the documentation must be provided for each of the participating entities. If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial standing of another entity or entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), the documentation must equally be provided for each entity or entities. Be advised that DALO at any time during the procurement procedure can request that the tenderer presents the above mentioned documentation if this is deemed necessary to secure that the procurement procedure is conducted correctly. In this situation, DALO will set an appropriate time limit for the submission of the documentation.
Please note that a tenderer may rely on the economic and financial standing of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the tenderer and the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies. In this case, the tenderer shall ensure that an eESPD from the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies is submitted along with the tenderers own eESPD. The entity or entities' eESPD must equally provide the information listed above.
DALO demands that the tenderer and each of the legal entities whose capacities the tenderer relies on undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the contract.
Regarding section IV.2.4): The offer shall be in the language stated in section IV.2.4. However, the tenderer can provide the following requested documentation; references regarding similar deliveries cf. section III.2.3. in Danish. The use of the eESPD is a precondition for participation in the procurement procedure, cf. § 148 of the Public Procurement Act. DALO shall require that the tenderer apply the eESPD as preliminary evidence that the tenderer is not subject to the grounds of exclusion stipulated in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act, that the tenderer fulfils the minimum requirements for suitability fixed in accordance with § 140, cf. section III.1.3), and how the candidate fulfils the objective and non-discriminatory criteria of selection, cf. § 145(2), cf. section II.2.9). The tenderers and, if relevant, the participants in the group of entities and/or supporting entities, must use the electronic version of the ESPD (eESPD). DALO has prepared an eESPD (an XML-file) available at ETHICS. DALO strongly encourages the tenderer to use this XML-file when completing the eESPD. The tenderer must upload the XML-file to this website https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/espd/welcome where the eESPD can be completed and later exported. No other versions than the eEPSD must be used. Prior to decision on award of the contract, DALO shall require that the tenderer to whom DALO intends to award the contract presents documentation for the information stated in the eESPD, cf. §§ 151-155 of the said Act. If a tenderer relies on the capacity of other entities, cf. section III.1.3, the tenderer shall upon request provide statements of support or other documentation proving that the tenderer has access to the necessary technical and professional capacity, and that the entity referred to has a legal obligation to the tenderer. If such documentation is not provided, DALO cannot consider the technical and professional capacity of the other entity or entities. DALO has prepared a template to be used to confirm the legal obligation which will be available if the tenderer is asked for documentation regarding information stated in the eESPD. DALO strongly encourages the tenderers to use this form. However, it is emphasized that it is the sole responsibility of the tenderer that the information provided fulfils the requirements. DALO shall exclude a tenderer from participation in the procurement procedure, if the tenderer is subject to one of the compulsory grounds for exclusion in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act unless the tenderer has provided sufficient documentation that the tenderer is reliable in accordance to § 138 of the said Act. Please note that certain voluntary exclusion grounds in Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on public procurement have been made compulsory in § 136 of the said Act. If the same legal entity is a part of or in any other way participates in several offers, e.g. submits his own offer and at the same time participates in a consortium which also submits an offer, the tenderers shall ensure that the same legal entity's participation does not provide for opportunity for mutual coordination of their offers. DALO reserves the right to request the tenderers to establish and reassure DALO that the same legal entity's participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the tenderers. DALO reserves the right — but is not obliged — to use the remedies provided for in Section 159(5) of the the Danish Act on Public Procurement (act No 1564 of 15.12.2015 — available at www.retsinformation.dk) if applications or offers do not fulfil the formalities of the tender documents.
