Eignungskriterien

• The applicant must confirm the economic ability in the ESPD part IV.B with information from the latest annual report regarding the following economic indicators

  • •1. Equity (total equity incl. share capital, reserves, revaluation, retained earning etc.)
  • •2. Equity ratio (equity/total assets). This must be stated with two decimals.
  • •If the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities or the applicant is a group of economic operators the information for the ESPD part IV.B must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to secure that the minimum requirements are reached based on consolidation when the applicant is relying on the capacity of other entities or when the applicant is a group of economic operators.
  • •Minimum requirement:
  • •Equity from the latest annual report must, at the time of prequalification, be at least EUR 38,000,000.-
  • •Equity ratio from the latest annual report must, at the time of prequalification, be at least 20 pct. If the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the applicant can qualify if Equity exceeds EUR 38,000,000.

• The suitability of applicants fulfilling the minimum requirements to economic and financial standing will be assessed on the applicants’ technical and professional ability. The ability will be assessed based on references which can be filled in ESPD part IV.C. Please note that there is not any minimum requirements relating to the applicants technical and professional ability, however for the purpose of selection the applicant may submit references. The applicant is allowed to submit up to 5 most comparable and relevant references undertaken in the past 5 years as part of the application. By "undertaken in the past 5 years” implies that the reference must not have been completed prior to the date reached when counting 5 years backwards from the submission date for prequalification. References older than this will not be taken into consideration. References which have not yet been fully completed can be included as part of the application, however the applicant must describe the parts which have not yet been delivered, and this may affect the evaluation of the application, cf. section 2.3. The references should describe and include

  • •• A specific description of deliveries, including:
  • •• Partial deliveries from the factory to a number of temporary storage areas
  • •• Hot-Dip Galvanized components with dimensions up to Ø2250 x 15000mm.
  • •• Supplies with the use of CO₂-reduced steel
  • •• Place of delivery
  • •• Information about contact data (name, email and phone number) for references
  • •• Contract value (if possible)
  • •• Date of initiation and final delivery (day, month, year)
  • •Any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibility may have a negative effect on the selection of applicants. Please note the “description” box in ESPD part IV.C. can contain more text than is visible and it is possible to copy paste text into the box.
  • •The number of references should not surpass the 5 most comparable and relevant references. If the applicant is relying on the capacity of other entities or the applicant is a group of economic operators the maximum number of references to be submitted must still be respected and cannot exceed 5 when combined. If more than 5 references are submitted the Contracting Authority will only include the first 5 listed, starting with the application by the applicant or the applicant representing the group. Only provided that this number does not exceed 5 references will references from participating applicants or supporting entities be included.
  • •If the applicant relies on other entities capacity or is part of a group of economic operators the information concerning ESPD part IV.C must be submitted in separate ESPD’s for each entity.

  • •Prices must be stated in EUR – DDP INCOTERMS 2020.
  • •For each lot the evaluation of ‘Price’ will be based on the total cost for each steel quality in both lots, ref. Tenderlist and time schedule, mainpage.

• Time Schedule and Logistic set-up

  • •For each lot:
  • •For the evaluation, the tenderer should provide a detailed and robust project-specific program describing the planning and execution of all activities from the Contract Commencement Date until issuance of the hand-over certificate for each lot.
  • •Especially for Lot 1: four (4) in Jutland.
  • •Especially for Lot 2: two (2) in Zealand.
  • •The program for each lot should comply with the requirements set out in Appendix 3 - Tender List and preliminary schedule included in the tender material.
  • •It should also include a clear description of how the identified activities will be scheduled and carried out.
  • •Furthermore, the documentation should contain a detailed explanation of how transportation from the fabrication facilities to the temporary storage facilities in Denmark provided by Energinet will be managed, including but not limited to:
  • •• Preservation of components during transport,
  • •• Traceability through proper marking, labelling and transportation,
  • •• Procedures for handling damages
  • •The evaluation of each lot will be based on the extent to which the tenderer demonstrates a well-planned, realistic, and robust time schedule/program that allows sufficient time for potential contingencies while providing evidence of a high level of certainty for delivery within the timeframe set out for the two individual lots.
  • •In this context it will be evaluated positively if:
  • •1) The description and the Project Program reflect a realistic, and frontloaded schedule for critical activities, including production, and demonstrates considerations for actions in case of unforeseen events (e.g. breakdowns).
  • •2) The description demonstrates the tenderers’ ability to identify and mitigate known risks related to production and transportation, including internal transportation in Denmark.
  • •3) The description provides detailed measures for preservation of all parts during transportation, ensuring safe handling and traceability through proper marking and labelling. A databased system that will have “live” updates of the cargo throughout the logistical chain.
  • •4) The description explains in detail how damages on OHL Towers, monopiles and related parts will be prevented and, in case of damage, how repair, replacement or exchange will be handled. This should include a clear definition of what constitutes minor versus major damage.
  • •An overall evaluation for each lot will be made of this sub-criterion.

• Contract terms
