Technical requirements: In June 2020 the Danish parliament decided that two energy islands will be established in Denmark. Subsequently, in February 2021, the parties behind the agreement decided that the energy Island in the North Sea must be built as an artificial island, situated around 100 km from the Danish west coast. The overall objective of that project is to establish 10 GW wind power in three phases. The current tender concerns technical advisory for the first phase which includes establishment of 3 GW wind power including all required HVAC/HVDC equipment and connections to partner country Belgium and to Denmark.
In June 2020 the Danish parliament decided that two energy islands will be established in Denmark. Subsequently, in February 2021, the parties behind the agreement decided that the energy Island in the North Sea must be built as an artificial island, situated around 100 km from the Danish west coast. The overall objective of that project is to establish 10 GW wind power in three phases. The current tender concerns technical consultancy for the first phase which includes establishment of 3 GW wind power including all required HVAC/HVDC equipment and connections to partner country Belgium and to Denmark.
The overall scope of the consultancy services is to provide technical advice and support to Energinet in the following three phases of the project:
1) Basic design and tender preparation leading to the tender of the HVAC/DC equipment to be installed on the future energy island
3) Technical advice and support during the HVAC/DC equipment contractors detailed design, construction, installation and commissioning until take-over of the works by Energinet and (as an option) supervision services during construction, installation and/or commissioning activities.
The artificial island itself is not a part of the tendered scope. The construction of the artificial is-land is the responsibility of the Danish Energy Agency (DEA).
Further, detailed design is not included in the scope, as Energinets intends to tender the main HVAC/DC equipment as an EPC contract (including detailed design done be the equipment supplier).
If more than 3 applicants fulfill the minimum requirements, cf. section III, the Contracting Authority will prequalify the 3 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 relevance of the submitted references, cf. the scope stated in section II.2.4, and the extent to which the references overall demonstrate comprehensive experience with deliveries comparable to the tendered assignment regarding solution, complexity and scope.
• Refences where the applicant has performed HVAC/HVDC design, preferably HVDC converter platform design.
• Refences where the applicant has performed design of technical equipment in large modules and managed offshore logistics in relation thereto.
• Refences where the applicant has drafted technical specifications as preparation for a tender process for large infrastructure projects similar to the current.
The tendered scope includes an option for the winning tenderer to perform supervision during construction, installation and commissioning activities, cf. II.2.4 above (‘phase 3’).
Please note that this is a negotiated procedure. With the exception of mandatory parts, the Tender Documents may as a result undergo changes as part of the negotiation process.
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 on the basis of consolidation 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).
