Please note that the description of works mentioned above reflect the Contracting Entity’s current understanding of the available solutions and the Contracting Entity is interested in hearing from potential tenderers whether other technical solutions would be suitable as further laid out in the below mentioned document.
In order for entities to consider whether they could in fact be potential tenderers and in order for such potential tenderers to provide relevant input Femern A/S has prepared a document setting out an invitation to a preliminary market consultation. This document further details the specifics of the contract as well as the input requested and the process that will take place. The document can be found at https://docsend.com/view/xq9f5xh2ndn5u88p (password: Fehmarn8459!belt).
Femern A/S expects potential tenderers to prepare written responses to the questions raised in the invitation prior to the deadline set out therein. Following this Femern A/S will arrange bilateral meetings to discuss the responses to the questions and any further input provided by the potential tenderer. Femern A/S expects to be able to offer such meetings to all genuine potential tenderers, however, Femern A/S respectfully reserves the right to limit participation at its sole discretion in the circumstance where Femern A/S receives more than 8 responses. Femern A/S expects to take into account factors such as the quality of the response and the diversity of the participants when limiting the participation.

Please note that Femern A/S will take responses into consideration even if the potential tenderer is unable to partake in a meeting with Femern A/S (either as a result of Femern A/S limiting participation or as a result of the potential tenderer indicating that it is unable to partake in a meeting).
