Technical requirements: Concerning the supply of software updates and maintenance from the Worksoft Suite, with an option for scaling the amount of licenses covered.
This tender procedure concerns a contract regarding the supply of software updates, software support and software maintenance from the Worksoft Suite, with an option for scaling the amount of licenses covered.
DALO's Test platform includes products from the Worksoft Suite, such as Worksoft Certify. To ensure a stable, secure, and reliable platform, DALO wishes to enter into a Contract (from 31.12.2017) which ensures software updates, software support and software maintenance on all current Worksoft products in DALO's Test platform.
Furthermore DALO wishes for the Contract to include the option to scale for additional software maintenance and support for additional licenses.
The Supplier shall provide the option to scale for additional software maintenance and support for additional licenses.
The contract is not divided into lots on the grounds that the tender is limited in scope of goods and services and further subdivision into lots is not relevant.
Reference is made to the tender documents regarding payment terms. Invoicing must be done in accordance with the applicable Danish legislation on public payments. At present, this is Danish consolidation act. No 798 of June 2007 which requires electronic invoicing. Exact terms are stated in the contract.
No particular legal form is required. If the contract is awarded to a group of suppliers (e.g. a consortium), the participants shall undertake joint and several liabilities and to appoint one supplier to represent the group.
The contract must be conducted in consideration of social responsibility (CSR) and it contains a labour clause, please see Annex8 for further information.
The use of the ESPD is a precondition for participation in the procurement procedure, cf. § 148 of the Public Procurement Act. DALO shall require that the tenderer apply the ESPD as preliminary evidence that the candidate is not subject to the grounds of exclusion stipulated in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act.
The tenderers and, if relevant, the participants in the group of entities and/or supporting entities, must use the electronic version of the ESPD. DALO has prepared an ESPD (an XML-file) available at ETHICS. DALO strongly encourages the tenderer to use this XML-file when completing the ESPD. The tenderer must upload the XML-file to this website https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/espd/welcome where the ESPD can be completed and later exported. No other versions than the EPSD must be used.
Prior to decision on award of the contract, DALO shall require that the tenderer to whom DALO intends to award the contract presents documentation for the information stated in the ESPD, cf. §§ 151-155 of the said Act. DALO shall exclude a tenderer from participation in the procurement procedure, if the tenderer is subject to one of the compulsory grounds for exclusion in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act unless the tenderer has provided sufficient documentation that the tenderer is reliable in accordance to § 138 of the said Act. Please note that certain voluntary exclusion grounds in Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on public procurement have been made compulsory in § 136 of the said Act.
If the same legal entity is a part of or in any other way participates in several offers, e.g. submits his own offer and at the same time participates in a consortium which also submits an offer, the tenderers shall ensure that the same legal entity's participation does not provide for opportunity for mutual coordination of their offers. DALO reserves the right to request the tenderers to establish and reassure DALO that the same legal entity's participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the tenderers.
DALO reserves the right — but is not obliged — to use the remedies provided for in Section 159(5) of the the Danish Act on Public Procurement (act No 1564 of 15.12.2015 — available at www.retsinformation.dk) if applications or offers do not fulfil the formalities of the tender documents.
Pursuant to Section 3 of the Danish Consolidation Act no. 593 of 2.6.2016 on the Complaints Board for Public Procurement (available at www.retsinformation.dk), the following time limits for filing a complaint apply:
