Technical requirements: Denmark, Norway and Iceland have entered into cooperation regarding the procurement of pharmaceuticals. The countries will jointly procure and award framework agreements in order to ensure the supply of pharmaceuticals to the public hospitals and health authorities in the countries. In Denmark certain pharmaceuticals are resold to the Faroe Island and Greenland.
The obligation to deliver the pharmaceuticals in Iceland is subject to the precondition that the supplier obtains an exemption regarding printed labels and leaflets. If the supplier does not obtain such exemption the agreement will only apply to Denmark and Norway, see the framework agreement section 2.2.1 and Appendix 6.
The framework agreements are non-exclusive to the supplier. The hospitals and health authorities are not obliged to use the framework agreement.
Each procurement number is a separate lot for the pharmaceutical indicated and is put up for tender independently of the other procurement numbers. This means that a tenderer may submit a tender for one, several or all procurement numbers (lots), and that framework agreements will be awarded separately for each procurement number. Reference is made to the tender specifications, including the provision on the list of products in general.
Under the title ‘quantity in units’, an estimated consumption of the pharmaceuticals is indicated for each of the countries. It should be noted that this estimate corresponds to the historical consumption of the pharmaceuticals put up for tender and that suppliers must expect that the actual purchase under a framework agreement may deviate significantly from the estimate. Reference is made to paragraph 5.6 of the tender specifications and clause 4.2 in the framework agreement.
The Supplier must have authorisation to produce, import or receive pharmaceuticals for wholesale distribution within the EU/EEA.
The Pharmaceuticals shall be included in the Danish Medicines Agency’s list of medicine prices (‘medicinpriser.dk’) and the Norwegian ‘Farmalogg’ and the Icelandic ‘Lyfjaverðskrá’ not later than 7 February 2022 in order to ensure supply from the beginning of the purchase period.
The contracting authorities shall be entitled to extend the framework agreement up to 2 times for each pharmaceutical on unchanged terms and conditions by up to 12 months.
Clause 8.2 of the framework agreement provides for an option for delivery in a pre-agreement period (i.e. before the purchase period begins) and an option for delivery in a post-agreement period (i.e. after the purchase period). The two options may be exercised on the terms and conditions stipulated in the framework agreement.

Eligibility requirements: When submitting a tender, suppliers must use the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) in the tendering system for the declaration regarding the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 135-136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven) (the Act can be found at www.retsinformation.dk). Further information on the completion and application of the ESPD in the tender process is available in the guide drawnup by Amgros in this respect and in the ‘Instructions for the European Single Procurement Document’ drawnup by the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority (Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen). The successfultenderer(s) to whom the contracting authorities intend to award the framework agreement must also, beforethe award, provide documentation to the contracting authorities regarding the absence of compulsory grounds for exclusion as set out in sections 152-153 of the Public Procurement Act. The contracting authorities are not entitled to exclude a supplier who is subject to one or more of the mandatory exclusion grounds set out in sections 135-136 of the Public Procurement Act if the supplier has provided sufficient documentation that the supplier is reliable, even if the supplier is subject to one or more of the grounds for exclusion set out in section 138 of the Public Procurement Act. The Contracting Authorities reserve the right to carry out a so-called ‘self-cleaning’ process if relevant.
