Technical requirements: The procurement will be carried out as a negotiated procedure after a prior notice, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 13-1 (2). This procedure will be initiated with a qualification phase (phase 1), in which tenderers shall submit documentation of fulfilment of the qualification requirements. All interested suppliers have the option to submit a request for participation in the competition. Of the qualified tenderers, four will be invited to submit tenders in the next stage of the procurement procedure (phase 2), cf. point 9.2. Only tenderers who fulfil the qualification requirements and who are invited will be able to submit a tender (phase 2). After receipt of tenders in phase 2, all tenders will be subject to an initial evaluation before the contracting authority will call for negotiations. At least three tenderers will receive an invitation to negotiations, provided that a sufficient number of tenders are received. This means that the contracting authority reserves the right to reduce the number of tenders to be negotiated and that this reduction can be made before the negotiations. Any selection of tender offers that shall be negotiated will be made after an assessment in accordance with the award criteria, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 23-11. The assessment of whether negotiations shall be made with all tenderers or whether a reduction shall be made will be made after a comprehensive assessment of the tender situation and the tender that ends up last after the first evaluation. The negotiations can be held in meetings, in writing or oral. After negotiations and any updated tenders, the final evaluation of the tenders will be made and the contract will be awarded.
