The contract shall only consist of the necessary simulator software to be installed on the already existing hardware platforms. Only limited number of hardware components will be accepted, for instance in relation to the comms system.
The system shall be installed on all existing EPN sites (Malmö, Norrköping and Stockholm in Sweden, Copenhagen in Denmark, Budapest in Hungary, Shannon and Dublin in Ireland, Brussels in Belgium and Madrid in Spain) as well as on any future EPN site worldwide.
The system shall support remote training, to allow students, instructors and simulator pilots to be at different locations.
In the Tender phase the Tenderer is invited to suggest different pricing models, e.g. purchase or lease.
If more than three (3) candidates fulfil the minimum requirements in Section III.1.2) and III.1.3) and are not subject to grounds of exclusion EPN will limit the number of candidates, who will be invited to tender. EPN will select a maximum of three (3) candidates, who are deemed to provide the best basis for competition. The selection of candidates will be based on an evaluation of which candidates have documented the best and most relevant previous deliveries(references) in comparison to the contract described in Section II.1.4) and Section II.2.4) above, in terms of the comparability. The evaluation will be based on the list submitted by the candidates in the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) according to Section III.1.3.
It will be regarded positively in the assessment of the relevance of the references if it covers a delivery of a simulator system to a large ANSP or Training Organization, training Ab Initio as well as licensed controllers on the simulator system. It will also be regarded positively if the delivery covers a simulator system which is in operational use.
Please note that any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities in the information submitted may be regarded negatively in the evaluation when selecting the limited numbers of candidates.
In the Tender phase - and as part of the final evaluation of the Tenders - a maximum of two (2) Tenderers will be invited to install their offered systems at Entry Point North in Malmö, Sweden. Entry Point North will test the installed systems against the specifications and Entry Point North exercises.
The Candidate must submit the European Single Procurement Document (“ESPD”) with the following information:
In case the Candidate is a non-profit organization without share capital a rating from a recognized rating agency must be provided instead of information of equity.
If the Candidate relies on the economic and financial standing of another entity or entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), the ESPD/documentation must be provided for each entity or entities.
Please note that a Candidate may rely on the economic and financial standing of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the Candidate and the entity or entities on which the Candidate relies. In this case, the Candidate shall ensure that an ESPD from the entity or entities on which the Candidate relies is submitted along with the Candidates own ESPD. The entity or entities’ ESPD must equally provide the information listed above.
Be advised, that EPN at any time during the procurement procedure can request that the Candidate presents the above mentioned documentation, if it is deemed necessary to secure that the procurement procedure is conducted correctly. In this situation, EPN will set an appropriate time limit for the submission of the documentation.
If the Candidate is composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures, none of the entities must have a negative equity in the recent 2 financial years.
