Its equity ratio (calculated by dividing the candidate's equity with the candidate's/tenderer’s total assets (equity/total assets x 100) at the end of the last 3 financial years, to the extent such information is available, cf. Part IV, section B.
Upon request from DALO the tenderer must submit the following documentation: annual reports or excerpts hereof or other documentation stating the candidate's equity ratio (calculated by dividing the candidate’s/tenderer’s equity with the candidate’s total assets (equity/total assets x 100) at the end of the last 3 financial years, to the extent such information is available. When groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate in the tender procedure together, the documentation must be provided for each of the participating entities. 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 documentation must equally be provided for each entity or entities.
Be advised that DALO at any time during the procurement procedure can request that the candidate presents the above mentioned documentation if this is deemed necessary to secure that the procurement procedure is conducted correctly. In this situation, DALO will set an appropriate time limit for the submission of the documentation.
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.
The candidate must have had a positiv ratio for each the last 3 financial years. The equity ratio is calculated by dividing the candidate's equity with the candidate's total assets (equity/total assets x 100).
If the candidate is composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures, the equity ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of all the participants’ equities with the sum of all the participants’ total assets (sum of equity/sum of total assets x 100) in each of the last 3 financial years available. If the candidate relies on the economic and financial standing of an entity or entities, the equity ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of the candidate’s and the entity or entities’ equity with the sum of the candidate’s and the entity or entities’ total assets (sum of equity/sum of total assets x 100) in each of the last 3 financial years available.
The candidate must use the European Single Procurement Document (electronic version, hereafter ESPD) and provide the following information in the ESPD:
A list of the most important similar deliveries (references), cf. Section II.1.4) and II.2.4), in regard to the lot or lots in respect of which the candidate has requested to participate, carried out, prior to the deadline for the request to participate, cf. Part IV, section C.
— the list should preferably include a short description of each delivery. The description should include a clear indication of which specific parts of the deliveries that are similar to the supplies as described in Section II.1.4) and II.2.4), in regard to the lot or lots in respect of which the candidate has requested to participate,
— the description should also include a description of the candidates participation/role in the performance of the deliveries,
— the description should contain information on the date of the deliveries, the size/quantity/volume and value of the deliveries, the recipients of the deliveries (specific names/countries are preferred; if no country specific information is included, the candidate is asked to provide as much generic information as possible about the delivery).
When specifying the date for the deliveries, the candidate should state the date of commencement and completion. If this is not possible, e.g. because the delivery in question is performed on an ongoing basis according to a framework agreement, the description of the deliveries should nonetheless contain information on how the date is set.
Only the deliveries (references) performed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate will be considered when assessing which candidate has documented the most relevant previous deliveries, cf. Section II.2.9). If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the supplies carried out and completed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate which will be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Consequently, if a part of the supplies has not been carried out and completed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate, this particular part will not be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Therefore, it is important that the candidate clearly states which part (e.g. with regards to size, value, quantity or volume, etc.) of an ongoing delivery (reference) that has been carried out and completed at the time of the deadline for request to participate.
The list must contain a maximum of 6 previous deliveries whether the candidate is one entity, composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures or relies on the technical and professional capacity of other entities. If the list contains more than 6, DALO will only consider the first 6 deliveries on the list. Deliveries beyond this number will be disregarded.
A candidate may rely on the technical and professional capacity 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.
The candidate will not be required to present further documentation for the technical and professional capacity (i.e. the information stated in the ESPD is considered sufficient). However, DALO reserves the right to contact the candidate and/or the recipients of the deliveries in order to verify the information stated in Part IV, section C in the ESPD, including details on the specified dates of the performance of the deliveries.
No minimum requirements regarding similar deliveries, but the candidates need to be aware that each reference will be assesed in connection with the pre-qualification and should therefore apply the above mentioned information in their list of references.
Regarding Section II.1.5): the estimated value of the framework agreements is 63 500 000 — 81 000 000 DKK. Hence the estimated value for Lot 1 is (60 000 000 — 75 000 000) DKK and for Lot 2 (3 500 000 — 6 000 000) DKK.
The reason for the interval stated is the uncertainty regarding the actual value of the framework agreements. Hence, the lower limit of the interval constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the actual value of the framework agreements at the present moment, while the upper limit of the interval constitutes the expected maximum value of the framework agreements in its duration.
The use of the ESPD is a precondition for participation in the procurement procedure, cf. § 148 of the Public Procurement Act. DALO shall require that the candidate apply the ESPD as preliminary evidence that the candidate is not subject to the grounds of exclusion stipulated in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act, that the candidate fulfils the minimum requirements for suitability fixed in accordance with § 140, cf. Section III.1.2), and how the candidate fulfils the objective and non-discriminatory criteria of selection, cf. § 145(2), cf. Section II.2.9).
The candidate and, if relevant, the participants in the group of entities or/and entities on which the candidate relies on, must use the electronic version of the ESPD available at ETHICS’ web portal. The ESPD shall be fulfilled and submitted at ETHICS’ web portal in accordance with the instructions given by ETHICS.
The candidate may submit an ESPD for each lot.
Prior to decision on award of the contract, DALO shall require that the tenderer to whom DALO intends to award the contract presents documentation for the information stated in the ESPD, cf. §§ 151-155 of the said Act. If a candidate relies on the capacity of other entities, cf. Section III.1.2) and III.1.3), the candidate shall upon request provide statements of support or other documentation proving that the candidate has access to the necessary economic and financial standing and/or technical and professional capacity, and that the entity referred to has a legal obligation to the candidate. If such documentation is not provided, DALO cannot consider the economic and financial standing and/or the technical and professional capacity of the other entity or entities. DALO has prepared a template to be used to confirm the legal obligation which is available at ETHICS. DALO strongly encourages the candidates to use this form. However, it is emphasized that it is the sole responsibility of the candidate that the information provided fulfils the requirements. DALO shall exclude a candidate from participation in the procurement procedure, if the candidate is subject to one of the compulsory grounds for exclusion in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act unless the candidate has provided sufficient documentation that the candidate is reliable in accordance to § 138 of the said Act. Please note that certain voluntary exclusion grounds in Directive 2014/24/EU on public procurement have been made compulsory in § 136 of the said Act.
