Technical requirements: The purpose of the public procurement procedure is delivery, operation, support, hypercare, maintenance and further development of a revenue management solution that will support the DSB in their commercial efforts. The revenue management solution shall support the commercial division in their efforts to succeed in a market where differentiation, agility, simplicity and time-to-market are key to success.
DSB (Danish State Railway) is an independent public corporation owned by the Danish Ministry of Transport. DSB’s goal is to offer attractive door-to-door journeys to our customers where train is a part of the journey. Annually DSB has more than 195 000 000 passengers and employs approximately 7 400 people. The field of transport is subject to growing competition driving DSB’s need for the realization of an overall business strategy and a modern revenue management solution shall contribute to this realization.
The solution shall on that basis fulfill DSBs need for a modern revenue management solution in the field of railway transport and the implementation of the solution is part of transforming DSB’s operation abilities towards a digitalized, modern and agile business model.
The revenue management solution shall be a supporting component to one of DSB’s future core components, DSB’s Strategic Sales Platform and will be essential to DSB’s business model. The revenue management solution shall therefore support and integrate with the Strategic Sales Platform that support four main areas:
B) implementation and configuration of a configurable standard solution with focus on efficiency and customization in an agile cooperation;
C) integration to and from the standard solution, including integration to sales and inventory systems;
E) maintenance and further development of a solution and product development with a high degree of customer involvement.

As regards Section II.2.9) it should be noted that each candidate may only submit one application for pre-qualification.
DSB has decided to cancel the tender due to the competitive situation. DSB has therefore today sent a publication of cancellation of the tender.
