The construction of the fixed link across the Fehmarn Belt receives EU funding from the CEF programme under project code 2014-EU-TM-0221-W and 21-EU-TG- Fehmarnbelt Tunnel.
The contract is tendered as one single agreement in order to achieve economics of scale, reduced costs for administration of the contract and a better understanding of the scope of services. Dividing the contract into lots is not considered to lead to a higher level of competition.
The tenderer shall complete and submit the ESPD as preliminary documentation for the purpose of assessing whether the below minimum requirements for technical and professional ability are fulfilled. The list of deliveries of services must be inserted under Part IV, C of the ESPD and is the final documentation. No further evidence or documentation regarding technical and professional ability will be requested before Femern A/S awards the Framework Agreement, however Femern A/S reserves the right to contact the customer indicated on each delivery in order to verify the reference.
The ESPD is completed with a list of main deliveries of services carried out within the last 3 years. The overview of each reference should state the amount and time and the public or private recipient, including contact information.
No more than 5 references for deliveries should be listed in the ESPD. If the ESPD contains more than 5 references only the first 5 references will be taken into account. References included in the tenderer’s own ESPD will in this respect be considered the first 5 references.
Femern A/S will disregard one or more of the 5 first references, if 1 or more of these first 5 references are outdated (older than 3 years). In such case Femern A/S will take the next reference on the list into account.
It should be noted that the 5 first valid references in any case shall together fulfil the minimum requirements set out for the technical and professional ability. Therefore Femern A/S will e.g. exclude a tenderer, if the tenderer has submitted 6 valid references, but only the 6th and last reference fulfils the minimum requirements. The same applies if the tenderers first 5 references fulfils one of the minimum requirements, but not both.
In the event that the tenderer is a group of economic operators or a temporary association (consortia, joint venture or the like) the references from the leading operator will be considered the first 5 references. In the event that this provision do not determine the first 5 references Femern Tender A/S will draw lots to elect the first 5 references (tenderers will not be allowed to supervise the draw).
- At least one (1) reference covering services related to German plan approval processes and/or plan amendment processes, performed for a large infrastructure project with a total value (construction budget and various other expenses, including consultancy services) of at least EUR 100 million excl.
