Technical requirements: DONG Energy intends to enter into Framework agreements with 3 operators for the supply of network equipment (including maintenance services) for a period of 3 (three) years with an option to extend for a period up to a further 2 (two) years.
Interested parties should have demonstrated capability and experience in the specialist areas to meet the requirements and tight deadlines that are associated with these services/ requirements.
— Note: The current infrastructure except OEM based Optical Transmission Equipment is entirely Cisco based. Any additional equipment will be expected to clearly demonstrate full interoperability between the current infrastructure and any proposed new equipment.
If the number of Candidates applying for pre-qualification exceeds 6 (six), the Contracting Entity will perform the pre-qualification on the basis of an evaluation of each Candidate's respective economic and financial standing as well as technical ability/professional ability. The 6 best Candidates will be pre-qualified. The technical ability/professional ability will have higher weighting than the economic and financial standing.
The assessment regarding the Candidate's economic and financial standing will be based upon the below criteria:
The Candidate is encouraged to have the financially strongest possible parent or associated company include a document (Letter of Support) stating that they will issue a Parent Company Guarantee / Performance Guarantee at a later stage.
If such a Letter of Support is included, the Contracting Entity will base its economic and financial assessment of the Candidate on the supporting entity as well. The assessment will be based only on the information included in the application.
The assessment regarding the Candidate's technical ability/professional ability will be based upon the submitted references.
Candidates must submit the following information and formalities necessary for evaluating if the requirements are met:
A. Candidate's financial and economic capacity in the form of overall turnover for the past 2 years, plus equity, liabilities and pre-tax profits for the most recent available accounting years.
Note: the latest Annual Accounts containing the previous year will also be accepted. If the Candidate is a newly established entity and therefore cannot provide 2 years of Annual Accounts the Candidate will have to submit its latest Annual Accounts or Opening Balance.
C. Information about the Candidate: The Candidate shall submit a description of ownership and corporate structure. If the Candidate is a subsidiary, the Candidate shall submit the name of the highest possible group parent — being an entity directly or indirectly controlling more than 50 % of the Candidate.
If a Candidate wishes to improve its economic and financial assessment by submitting a Letter of Support, an authorized signatory from the supporting legal entity will have to sign the Letter of Support. If a Letter of Support is submitted, the assessment of the economic and financial standing of the Candidate will be based on the information about both entities. In such case, the annual accounts of the other legal entity for the previous 2 years must be submitted. If the other legal entity is a parent company to the Candidate it is possible to submit consolidated accounts instead of annual accounts.
If a consortium applies for pre-qualification, the information above must be submitted for each member of the consortium.
