Technical requirements: The contracting authority wants to purchase consultancy services in form of commissioning manager for the Baltic Pipe project located at the Compressor Station Everdrup.
The Baltic Pipe Project is a major gas infrastructure project that aims at creating a new supply corridor for gas in the European gas market; for the first time, it will enable shippers to flow gas directly from Norway to the markets in Denmark, Sweden and Poland together with their neighbouring markets. Moreover, it will also enable shippers to flow gas bidirectional from Poland to the Danish and Swedish markets.
The Baltic Pipe project will facilitate transport of Norwegian gas to Poland via Denmark. The total project includes the following main components:
The connection between the Norwegian grid and Denmark includes a Pipeline end manifold (PLEM) at the connection point to Europipe II, an offshore pipeline in the North Sea, a receiving terminal at Nybro and onshore pipeline from landfall at the Danish west coast to the terminal.
The contracting authority wants to purchase consultancy services in form of five inspectors for the Baltic Pipe project. The geographical location for the purchased services is at the Compressor Station Everdrup, Zealand, Denmark.
The commissioning manager will – in collaboration with project management for Everdrup compressor station – be responsible for ensuring that the overall requirements of the project are implemented and complied with during the execution of the work. The commissioning manager is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Baltic Pipe project’s overall commissioning strategy and associated schedule in the ‘Everdrup compressor station’ project. Organisationally, the commissioning manager will be reporting to the project management of the Everdrup compressor station project.
If more than 5 applicants fulfill the minimum requirements, cf. section III, the contracting authority will prequalify the 3-5 applicants who are evaluated as most qualified for the specific tendered assignment. Only these applicants will be invited to submit a tender. The selection of the applicants will be based on the submitted references. That is to which extend the reference(s) are assed to be similar to the tendered assignment, cf. section II.2.4), in terms of comparability and relevance. As a result, the number of references will not be the determining factor alone, but more importantly to which degree the specific forwarded references are comparable and relevant to the tendered assignment regarding project type, project scale, complexity and the role and responsibilities completed by the applicant with respect to the role as commissioning manager, compression gas station.
That this is a negotiated procedure. With the exception of mandatory parts, the tender documents, and requirements set out herein, may be changed as part of the negotiation process. As a result, the contracting authority encourages all economic operators to submit questions concerning the tender documents and apply for pre-qualification even if a requirement may present a challenge initially.
For each lot the applicant must confirm the economic ability in the ESPD part IV.B: ‘Economic and financial standing’ with information from the latest annual report regarding the following economic indicators:
If the applicant is relying on the capacities of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the information for the ESPD part IV.B must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities, cf. section VI.3) ‘Additional information’. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to secure that the minimum level(s) of standards required are reached when the applicant is relying on the capacity of other entities or when the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium).
• If the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the applicant can qualify, if equity exceeds the total expected amount of the contract.
The applicant must include up to 5 comparable and relevant references undertaken in the past ten (10) years as part of the application. The references must be stated in the ESPD part IV.C: ‘Technical and professional ability’. Undertaken in the past ten (10) years implies that the reference must not have been completed prior to the date reached when counting ten (10) years backwards from the submission date for pre-qualification. References older than this will not be taken into consideration. References which have not yet been fully completed can be included as part of the application, but if this is the case, the applicant must describe the parts which have not yet been delivered, and this may affect the evaluation of the applicant, cf. section II.2.9).
It would be preferred that the applicants submits an application (ESPD) pr. Lot. If the applicants apply for more than one lot the applicant can submit 5 references pr. lot. If the applicant submits only one ESPD, but applies for more than one lot, each reference should clearly state which lot it concerns.
The references shall be assignments performed for gas and oil construction projects comparable to the current assignment and should at least include the following information:
• detailed description of the reference (please note the ‘description’ box can contain more text than is visible. I.e. it is possible to copy paste text into the box), including:
