Procedure: Competitive procedure with negotiation

Estimated value: 251720421 EUR
Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The Port of Rønne is the largest traffic and commercial port of Bornholm and one of the largest cruise ports in Denmark. More than 3,000 ships call at the port every year. The port is also one of the island’s largest workplaces and is a vital engine of the future growth and development of Bornholm.
In addition to the expansions completed in 2019 and 2022, the Employer, the company operating the Port of Rønne, wishes to undertake a further expansion of the port to secure that the port’s capacity satisfies the anticipated needs of future traffic, commercial and cruise vessels.
The Port of Rønne emphasize and strongly urge all bidders of this tender regarding the expansion of the Port of Rønne – Phase 3, to also provide an offer for the tender regarding the Expansion of the Port of Rønne - Phase 4.
The Employer does not expect to eliminate tenderers that have proceeded to the negotiation procedure but reserves the right to do so.
All tenders are binding upon tenderers, and the Employer reserves the right to award the contract based on the initial tender without conducting any negotiations.
The Employer expects to carry out an intense and short negotiation round but reserves the right to demand for tenderers to particpate in further negotiations.
- A prequalified tenderer that submits a valid first tender/negotiation tender but is eliminated during the negotiations receives DKK 250,000.
The Port of Rønne emphasizes and strongly urges all bidders of this tender regarding Phase 3, to also provide an offer for the tender regarding the Expansion of the Port of Rønne – Phase 4 (hereafter “Phase 4"), as the two expansions are expected to be executed nearly within the same timeframe. The contract notices for Phase 3 and Phase 4 are made public simultaneously.
The Port of Rønne recognises that there are significant advantages and synergy benefits to be gained if both phases are carried out by the same tenderer. Particularly in relation to creating and maintain the best and most safe navigation conditions for all traffic in the harbour, especially for the ferry services to Bornholm, but also for the harbour’s continued use as an offshore wind installation and service port, as well as to ensure the general port service and security of supply to the island.
Tenderers submitting an offer for both Phase 3 and Phase 4 will be subject to an economic reduction related to the evaluation based on the synergy benefits for carrying out both phases. The economic reduction will be applicable to the evaluation of Phase 4 alone, thus not applicable for this Phase 3. Reference is made to the procurement material
