The construction of the fixed link across the Fehmarn Belt receives EU funding from the CEF programme under project code 2014-EU-TM-0221-W.
The contract is tendered as one single agreement in order to achieve economics of scale, reduced costs for administration of the contract and a better understanding of the scope of services. Dividing the contract into lots is not considered to lead to a higher level of competition.
Due to the complexity of the project it would be extremely burdensome for Femern A/S to replace the consultant during the construction phase, during test and commissioning or before the implementation of the railway safety management system is completed. The chosen consultant will gain a unique insight into and knowledge of the project which would not be possible to hand over to a new consultant without the risk of loss of knowledge, substantial cost, resources and significant consequences for the time schedule. It is therefore crucial for Femern A/S to have the possibility to extend the framework agreement by 3 x 2 years in order to ensure the availability of the consultant for the total duration of the project and the initiation of the operational phase.
Pursuant to the Danish Act No 492 of 12.5.2010 with subsequent amendments regarding the Complaints Board for Public Procurement, complaints regarding a candidate not being prequalified must be filed with the Complaints Board for Public Procurement within 20 calendar days starting the day after the contracting authority has sent notification to the candidates involved, if the notification includes a short account of the relevant reasons for the decision.
Complaints regarding other decisions related to the tender must be filed with The Complaints Board for Public Procurement within 6 months after the contracting authority has sent notification to the candidates/tenderers involved that the contracting authority has entered into the framework agreement if the notification included a short account of the relevant reasons for the decision.
The complainant must inform the contracting authority of the complaint in writing at the latest simultaneously with the lodging of the complaint to the Complaints Board for Public Procurement. The complainant shall state whether the complaint has been lodged in the stand-still period. If the complaint has not been lodged in the standstill period, the complainant must also state whether the complainant has requested that the complaint be granted suspensive effect.
