1) In parallel with the tender processes for the procurement of this Framework Agreement a tender process for the procurement of a Framework Agreement for railway safety consultancy services are being carried out. The consultant under the Framework Agreement for railway safety consultancy services shall carry out quality control with material delivered by the consultant under this Framework Agreement. Due to the risk of problems in regards to conflict of interest the same tenderer cannot win both Framework Agreements. Furthermore, it will also not be possible for a group of legal persons, public entities and/or economic operators, or any tenderer which relies on other subcontractors/sub-consultants to be awarded the Framework Agreement for railway safety consultancy services if one or more of the group members or one or more of the subcontractors/sub-consultants is also affiliated with the winner of this Framework Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, candidates are welcome to apply for pre-qualification to participate in both of the tendering procedures, but it is emphasised that a tenderer can only be awarded one of the Framework Agreements. In this respect, Femern A/S has decided that this Framework Agreement shall take precedence. This means that if a tenderer has sumitted a tender for both Framework Agreements and if said tenderer is awarded this Framework Agreement, Femern A/S will reject the tenderer’s tender for the Framework Agreement for railway safety consultancy services which will then not be evaluated. This will also apply if Femern A/S notes that one or more of the group members or one or more of the subcontractors/sub-consultants participating in a tender under the Framework Agreement for railway safety consultancy services tender procedure is also affiliated with the winner of this Framework Agreement;

2) Due to the complexity of the project it would be extremely burdensome for Femern A/S to replace the consultant during the construction phase as well as during test and commissioning. 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. Please also refer to II.2.7;

3) Re the ESPD: the applicant must complete and submit the electronic ESPD which serves as preliminary evidence of fulfilment of the conditions for participation in the tender procedure, including that the applicant is not subject to the grounds for exclusion. Femern A/S reserves the right, at any time during the tendering procedure, to request an applicant to provide documentary proof, cf. Section 151 of the Danish Procurement Act, if required to ensure the proper execution of the procedure. In this situation, Femern A/S will set an appropriate deadline for the submission of documentation. Femern A/S intends to ask the applicants to provide documentation prior to the decision on pre-qualification. Before awarding the Framework Agreement, the tenderer to whom Femern A/S intends to award the agreement must provide documentation concerning the information in the ESPD, cf. Section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. Femern A/S has prepared the electronic ESPD for the economic operator to fill out. The electronic ESPD is available at the link set out in Section I.3. For further information on the requirements to the request for pre-qualification and the tender procedure please refer to the Tender Conditions available at the link set out in Section I.3;

4) Reference is made to the tender conditions clause 5.6 regarding changes to the composition of the tenderer.
