Kort beskrivelse:

The Denmark — Ghana Partnership Policy 2014-18 states that ‘given Ghana's own resources and economic development, its status as Lower Middle Income Country, its new partnerships with the BRICS countries and other emerging economies, the country is no longer depending on development aid to the same extent as previously, and it wants to pursue inter alia trade, commercial investments and credits’. Denmark aims at upscaling political and commercial cooperation while at the same time downscaling development assistance to the country in the period after 2014. On that basis and given the present reduction in the Danish aid budget, the coming years will constitute a period of transition in the Danish-Ghanaian partnership and the last Danida funded sector programme will come to an end by 2020.

The current Denmark-Ghana Partnership Policy 2014-2018 envisages a transition of the partnership from primarily development cooperation to political cooperation and commercial cooperation.

The objective of the evaluation will be to assess the results achieved and their sustainability in light of the fact that the development cooperation between Ghana and Denmark will be reduced and gradually taken over by such a new strategic partnership. The evaluation will evaluate the current state of the Ghana-Denmark partnership on the basis of past achievements and future opportunities.

The evaluation will assess Denmark's contribution to addressing the national development challenges, how the partnership is perceived now and where it leaves us for the future, different, cooperation.

The overall purpose of the evaluation is therefore two-fold:

1. To document and assess the results of the Danish-Ghanaian development partnership and its contribution to the overall development in Ghana with emphasis on the period from 2007 (the earlier period being covered by the first country evaluation). Focus will primarily be on the overall development results within the relevant areas, the Danish contribution to these results and their sustainability. The evaluation will focus on a selected number of areas, which have been most prominent in the partnership.

2. To assess the strengths and opportunities of the Danish-Ghanaian partnership as it stands today, in its historic context, as a basis for the transition and further development of the partnership. It is envisaged that a Ghanaian perspective, represented through the perceptions of the partnership of various governmental and non-government actors on different levels will be an important element in this assessment.

Juridiske, økonomiske, finansielle og tekniske oplysninger
Betingelser for deltagelse
Økonomisk og finansiel stilling:

The applicant must submit the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) when applying for pre- qualification and provide the following information in the ESPD section IV, sub-section B, paragraph 1a:

1) The applicants total annual turnover for the last 3 available financial years.

Furthermore the applicant should preferably also submit the following documentation with the application for prequalification, unless the information is publicly and electronically accessible free of charge:

2) Copy of the applicants annual financial statements or extracts from the financial statements or a statement of the undertaking's overall turnover certified by a chartered accountant or certified public accountant for the last 3 available financial years.

If the applicant is a joint venture, consortium or other unincorporated grouping of two or more entities (hereinafter called a ‘joint venture’), this should be stated in the ESPD section II, sub-section A and each member shall submit a completed and signed ESPD. The total annual turnover will be calculated as the total annual turnover of all the participating entities. The joint venture shall, as a whole, meet the minimum conditions related to economic and financial standing.

An economic operator may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links, which it has with them. If the applicant is relying on the financial capacity of another entity, this should be stated in the ESPD section II, sub-section C. If the applicant relies on the capacity of others, the turnover is calculated as the sum of the turnover of the applicant and the other entity's (or entities') turnover. Where an economic operator wants to rely on the capacities of other entities, it should prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary, for example, by producing a commitment by those entities to that effect. The letter of commitment or relevant documentation shall establish the legal commitment of the party concerned to support the applicant for the full contract period.

A template for a letter of commitment can be obtained using the link in section I.3. Supporting entities, including the parent company of the applicant, must respect the same rules of eligibility, and must comply with the conditions as stated in this contract notice (see section VI.3). Supporting entities must also submit a completed and signed ESPD preferably along with copies of their financial accounts.

Mindstekrav til niveauet:

Minimum annual turnover of 2 800 000 DKK in each of the latest 3 financial years.

A list of the most relevant project references performed during the last 3 years should be entered in the ESPD, section IV, sub-section C, paragraph 1b. No more than 10 project references should be provided. If more than 10 references are provided only the first 10 will be considered.

As a relevant project reference is considered:

Independent evaluations following the OECD/DAC evaluation quality criteria in comparable thematic areas / sectors. References related to reviews and monitoring work will not be considered relevant references. Neither will short-listing under a framework contract be considered a reference in itself. An ‘independent evaluation’ is an evaluation carried out for an evaluation unit of a development organization.

References should for each project contain a description of the services provided, the total value of the project (amount), the contract date and name of the customer (recipient). No documentation will be required for the information provided in the ESPD regarding project references.

If the applicant is a joint venture, the joint venture shall, as a whole, meet the minimum conditions related to technical and professional ability. In that case, each member shall submit a completed and signed ESPD. Note that no more than 10 project references must be presented for the joint venture as a whole.

If the applicant is relying on the technical capacity of another entity, this should be stated in the ESPD section II, sub-section C. With regard to criteria relating to the educational and professional qualifications or to the relevant professional experience, economic operators may only rely on the capacities of other entities where the latter will perform the services for which these capacities are required. Where an economic operator wants to rely

on the capacities of other entities, it should prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary, e.g. by producing a commitment by those entities to that effect. The letter of commitment or relevant documentation shall establish the legal commitment of the party concerned to support the applicant for the full contract period. A template for a letter of commitment can be obtained using the link in section I.3. Such entities, including the parent company of the applicant, must respect the same rules of eligibility, and must comply with the conditions as stated in this contract notice (see section VI.3). Such an entity must also submit a completed and signed ESPD.

Mindstekrav til niveauet:

Påtænkt antal ansøgere: 5
Objektive kriterier for udvælgelse af det begrænsede antal ansøgere:

Here the applicant is to upload the XML file, complete it and subsequently save it locally. A guide to the completion of the ESPD is available via the link set out in section I.3. The completed ESPD (XML file) preferably along with supporting documentation for the claims provided in the ESPD, unless it is publicly and electronically accessible free of charge, must be uploaded in the tendering system before the time limit stated in section IV.2.2).

The Contracting Authority shall exclude an economic operator from participation in a procurement procedure where it has established that the applicant is covered by the exclusion grounds listed in the Danish Public Procurement Act, (Udbudsloven) §135 and §136 (EU Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, article 57(1)-(3), and article 57(4) (e),(f) and (h).) An applicant will furthermore be excluded from the procurement procedure if the applicant is in a situation covered by the Danish Public Procurement Act §137(1)(2). (EU Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of The Council, article 57 (4) (b).) Applicants should preferably include documentation with the ESPD for the claims given in the ESPD proving the absence of grounds for exclusion, as stipulated in the Danish Public Procurement Act § 135(1) and (3), and §137(1)(2). (EU Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, article 57(1), article 57(2), and article 57(4)(b)). For Danish applicants documentation can be presented in the form of a ‘serviceattest’. Entities from other EU member states may identify the relevant certificate(s) using the online platform e-Certis. Where the country in question does not issue such documents or certificates, or where these do not cover all the cases specified, they may be replaced by a declaration on oath or, in countries where there is no provision for declarations on oath, by a solemn declaration made by the person concerned before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary or a competent professional or trade body, in the country of origin or in the country where the economic operator is established.

Re. II.1.6) Rationale for not splitting the contract up into lots: This contract has not been split into lots as the size and character of the services to be provided makes it unsuitable for distributing over several lots.
