The tenderer must submit the European Single Procurement Document (‘ESPD’) with the following information (see uploaded Guide to the Single Procurement Document ESPD):
The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity.
Before the decision to award the contract is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting authority intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate.
When required by the contracting authority, the tenderer must submit the following documentation of economic and financial capacity:
A statement regarding the operator's overall turnover in the last 3 financial years available, depending on the date when the operator was set up or started trading, as far as the information on these turnovers is available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, sister company or a sub-contractor), the information must be submitted for these entities also.
Where an operator relies on the capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, sister company or a sub-contractor), regardless of the legal nature of the links between the operator and such other entities, the operator must include documentation in its tender that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for the performance of the contract by producing an undertaking of support or other documentation that the tenderer has in fact at its disposal the required economic and financial capacity. It must be documented that the entity in question is legally obliged to the tenderer. Failing this, the contracting authority will not take into account the capacity of other entities. The contracting authority has drawn up a template for the undertaking of support for the tenderer to use.
As a minimum requirement, a total annual turnover of at least  9 000 000 DKK is required in each of the 3 last financial years available. If the tenderer relies on the capacity of other entities, the turnover is to be calculated as the total turnover of the tenderer and such other entities in each of the 3 last financial years available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the turnover is calculated as the total turnover of the operators in each of the 3 last financial years available. The information is to be stated in section IV.B of the ESPD. Reference is made to the contracting authority's guide to the ESPD.
