Technical requirements: Thor Offshore Windfarm onshore grid connection consists of 21 individual cable sections each containing two 220 kV cable systems with a combined length of approximately 28 km. The total length of single core cable for Thor is approximately 175 km. Additionally to cable production and delivery, the Contract also includes supervision of civil works and cable pulling, manufacturing, delivery and installation of joints and terminations as well as final commissioning testing. Civil works will be performed by 3rd party contractor. Delivery, installation, and testing is anticipated to take place in Q1-Q4 2024.
If more than 5 applicants fulfill the minimum requirements, cf. section III, the Contracting Authority will prequalify the 5 applicants who are evaluated as most qualified for the specific tendered as-signment. 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, especially concerning:
•	Year of completion, voltage level, length of cable route, maximum delivery lengths and tasks performed (e.g. design, fabrication, factory testing, supply, transport, construction (civil works not included), installation (joints, terminations(AIS, GIS), link boxes), completion, site testing, commissioning and taking-over testing of the entire supply and its systems and functions).
•	Electrical stress level of performed type test(s) of the electrical power cable in accordance with IEC or equivalent (higher stress level at inner semi conducting layer will be evaluated positively).
o	Temperate climate will be evaluated positively whereas tropical, subtropical and polar climate will be evaluated negatively.
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).
o	If the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the applicant can qualify if Eq-uity exceeds EUR 18 mio. / DKK 135 mio.
The applicant must include minimum 3 up to 5 most comparable and relevant references under-taken in the past three (3) years  as part of the application. The references must be stated in the ESPD part IV.C: “Technical and professional ability”. Undertaken in the past three (3) years implies that the reference must not have been completed prior to the date reached when counting 3 years backwards from the submission date for prequalification. References older than this will not be taken into consideration. References which have not yet been fully completed can be included as part of the application, but if this is the case, the applicant must describe the parts which have not yet been delivered, and this may affect the evaluation of the applicant, cf. section II.2.9. A minimum of 2 fully completed and energized reference projects must be included.
o	Tasks performed (e.g. design, fabrication, factory testing, supply, transport, construction (civil works not included), installation (joints, terminations (AIS, GIS)), completion, site testing, commissioning and taking-over testing of the entire supply and its systems and functions)
Any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities concerning the above information may have a nega-tive effect on the selection of candidates, cf. section 3.1. Please note the “description” box can contain more text than is visible. I.e. it is possible to copy paste text into the box.
If the applicant is relying on the references of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) the information for the ESPD part IV.C must also be given in a sepa-rate ESPD from each of the entities.
The number of references should not surpass a maximum of the five [5] most comparable and relevant references. If the applicant is relying on the capacity of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) the maximum number of references to be submitted must still be respected and cannot exceed five [5] when combined.  If more than five [5] references are submitted, the Contracting Authority will only consider the five [5] most recent references determined by date of final delivery (in this case not yet finished references will not be included).
1)	For each factory the applicant intends to use for the production of the cable, the applicant must have a valid ISO 9001 (or equivalent) certificate
