Technical requirements: Energinet intends to establish a Supplier Qualification System (“SQS”) for the procurement of engineering services for gas projects in Denmark.
The SQS is intended to be utilized for the procurement of engineering services for large-scale projects such as the Baltic Pipe project, as well as for future projects on the Danish transmission and distribution system, gas storages and biogas projects.

As part of its application, the Applicant must submit the European Single Procurement Document (“ESPD”). The Applicant must complete part II-VI of the ESPD.
The Contracting authority has made a guide on how to complete the ESPD in section 3.2 of the Guide to SQS – Engineering on EU-Supply. It is noted, however, that it is the sole responsibility of the Applicant to complete the ESPD correctly and submit a compliant application.
Information on the minimum requirement for admittance to each of the categories of the SQS is described in the Guide to SQS - Engineering on EU -Supply in section3.1 and onwards.
Please note that applicants shall state at what category the application is directed and if the applicant is applying for more than one category, specific reference information and minimum requirements are set for each category in terms of technical and professional capability.
The ESPD must be submitted at EU-Supply. If the Applicant is to be included in the first evaluation, it must be submitted before the deadline stated in the contract notice and EU-Supply.
