Technical requirements: Hanstholm Havn calls for tenders for the construction of works related to the expansion of the port of Hanstholm. Due to the high level of activity in and around the port of Hanstholm, a new development plan is in the works. The expansion of the port, including basins, hinterland, quay walls, water depth, entrance width and the reduction in wave disturbance, is a crucial element in this development. The design of the works regarding the above-mentioned expansion, including both the wave model and sedimentation models, will be carried out by the port of Hanstholm. The winning Tenderer shall build the expansion of the port on the basis of this design in accordance with the contract. The port of Hanstholm has allocated a budget of DKK 450-500 000 000 for the expansion.
It is expected that the negotiation stage of the procurement procedure will include the following stages:
The contracting entity expects to eliminate Tenderers during the procedure, see section 8.3 in the Tender Conditions. This means that only a selected number of Tenderers will be invited to submit the BAFO. Please also refer to section IV.1.4.
However, after receiving tenders and before entering into a negotiation round, the contracting entity may choose either i) to complete evaluation of the compliant tenders with a view to identifying the most economically advantageous tender, cf. the Tender Conditions or ii) Invite all remaining Tenderers to a negotiation round.
The contracting entity reserves the right during the negotiation stage to ask the Tenderers to participate in additional negotiation meetings.
All costs and expenses of the Tenderers related to the preparation of their tenders and their participation in the negotiations must be borne by the Tenderers.
However, to compensate Tenderers regarding the preparation of the tenders, all Tenderers except the winning Tenderer will receive remuneration. The contracting entity will compensate the prequalified Tenderers according to the following plan of distribution:
— Prequalified Tenderers who are eliminated during the negotiated procedure and therefore will not submit a BAFO will receive DKK 500 000 each.
If more suitable applicants than the fixed number (5) submit an request for prequalification, selection of applicants, who will be asked to submit a tender, will be made on the basis of a reasoned assessment where importance is attached to the economic and financial standing on the basis of the information provided in section III.1.2 and the technical and professional ability on the basis of the information provided in section III.1.3 as described below:

II) The best economic and financial standing assessed on the basis of the applicant's turnover and solvency ratio where particular emphasis will be placed on a high and stable turnover and a high solvency ratio being documented.
