Technical requirements: Enova wishes to engage an external service provider who can conduct technical third-party verification of applications for some of Enova's support programmes for renewable energy projects. Enova will take care of all executive works but wishes to use the selected provider to quality assure the technical basis for the assessment of applications.
Enova has different programs for support to renewable energy projects, and requests access to an external third-party verification for the following support programmes:
The expected scope of the third party verification is approx. 130 applications per annum and the expected time spent on performing a complete technical third party verification will in average be approx. 6 hours per application. The assignment will also include a small amount of status and clarification meetings with Enova, or possibly with the applicant. The applications will be divided differently during the year and the selected Provider must therefore show flexibility in relation to the varying workload of the assignment.
The estimated volume of the agreement is approx. 800 hours per annum. The total scope of the assignment is dependent on i.a. the activity in the market and the complexity of the applications, and the scope of the assignment can deviate from the above stated estimate. This is an estimate only, and is not to be considered as binding for the contracting authority.
— Confirmation that the tenderer is registered in a trade register or company register in accordance with the law in the country where the tenderer is established.
The tenderer's annual accounts including notes with the Board's and the auditor's reports from the last 2 years.
If the Annual Financial Statements for the last year are not finished before the tender deadline for this contest expires, the last year's preliminary annual accounts should also be attached.
The Contracting Authority reserves the right to carry out a credit assessment. Financial strength is evaluated in relation to turnover, operating profit margin, solidity and liquidity.
The tenderer may choose to rely on other companies' capacity to fulfil the requirement for the tenderer's economic and financial position. The tenderer must, in such an event, document the resources of the companies on which he will rely and prove that he will have the requisite resources from these companies at his disposal during the contract period, for example by presenting a commitment statement, guarantee, co-operation agreement or similar. In addition equivalent documentation on the financial position of the companies that will be used must be enclosed.
— An account of the company's business concept and core competencies related to the scope of the delivery.
