Kort beskrivelse:
The full portfolio of climate change mitigation projects and programmes including support channelled through international and non-governmental organisations since 2013 will constitute the basis for the evaluation. Thus, analyses will include consideration of:
Vis mere
— funds from the climate change envelope (CE), provided for both bilateral projects and programmes and through multi-lateral channels, as well as grants to NGOs and finance mobilized through the Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU);
— non-CE bilateral and multilateral development assistance funding, with a focus on projects, programmes and initiatives categorized as ‘principal’ with respect to climate change (using the Rio markers).
An updated overview of climate change mitigation funding will be prepared in the inception phase using data available. This will include grants to projects and programmes through the CE and through bilateral development assistance in a range of countries as well as projects supported through the IFU instruments, notably the Danish Climate Investment Fund (DCIF). The overview will describe support to several multilateral agencies and funds, notably the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) of the multilateral development banks (MDBs). Furthermore, major programmes such as the ‘sustainable energy for Africa facility’ (SEFA) at the African Development Bank and support to organisations such as the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) will be considered. Funding has also been provided to various specialized organisations and think tanks whose efforts are important with respect to mitigation, not least in the energy sector. Finally, the portfolio includes grants to Danish non-governmental organisations.
Vis mere
Four country case studies (Ethiopia, Indonesia, South Africa and Vietnam) will be carried out in order to inform the evaluation about the results of climate change funding and to pinpoint the critical issues associated with reducing GHG emissions in developing countries. The countries selected are all associated with Denmark as partners in global climate change mitigation efforts, with contrasting ‘development and carbon profiles’, geo-historical characteristics, political economies, etc.

Betingelser for deltagelse
Egnethed til at udøve det erhverv:
In Part III.A-C of the ESPD, economic operators must answer whether they are subject to exclusion grounds.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if…
… the economic operator itself or any person who is a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body or has powers of representation, decision or control therein has been convicted by final judgement or fined within the last 4 years for any of the exclusion grounds relating to the criminal convictions listed in section 135(1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
… it has unpaid overdue debt of DKK 100 000.00 or more to public authorities in relation to payment of taxes and payment of social security, cf. section 135(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. An economic operator is, however, not excluded where the economic operator has agreed on a repayment scheme with the collection authority and that scheme is observed, cf. section 135(4), or where the economic operator provides guarantee of payment of the part of the debt which constitutes DKK 100 000.00 or more, cf. section 135(5).
… it is subject to any of the exclusion grounds listed in sections 136(1)(1) and 136(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
… it within the last 2 years has been subject to any of the exclusion grounds listed in sections 136(1)(3) and 137(1)(2-3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
The contracting authority can accept the following documentation in relation to the exclusion grounds in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (in order of priority):
1) Extracts from the relevant register or similar documents issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority or certificates issued by the competent authority in the country referred to as documentation that the tenderer is not subject to the grounds for exclusion stipulated in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2).
Vis mere
2) A declaration on oath (only if such extracts, certificates or similar documents are not issued in the country where the economic operator is established, or where the documentation does not cover all the grounds for exclusion stipulated in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) entirely).
Vis mere
3) 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 (only if there is no provision for declarations on oath in the country where the economic operator is established).
Vis mere
Thus, the contracting authority cannot accept e.g. a solemn declaration made before a notary if there can be issued a certificate by the competent authority in the country where the economic operator is established. Moreover, the contracting authority cannot accept self-declarations or similar declarations issued by the economic operator or the person concerned as documentation in relation to the exclusion grounds.
Vis mere
Economic operators can identify the relevant documentation using the online platform e-Certis: https://ec.europa.eu/tools/ecertis/#/search

Økonomisk og finansiel stilling:
In Part IV.B of the ESPD, the economic operator must fill in its average yearly turnover for the last 2 financial years available (where the economic operator can present annual reports).
If the economic operator consists of a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the capacity of other entities, each involved economic operator or entity must submit a completed ESPD.
When an economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the economic and financial standing of other entities, the participating economic operators or the entities referred to are subject to joint and severable liability for the performance of the contract.
Vis mere
The contracting authority can accept annual reports or excerpts hereof or relevant statements from a bank or certified accountant as documentation in relation to the economic and financial standing.
When an economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others or when an economic operator relies on the economic and financial standing of other entities, the economic operator must also provide statements of support or other documentation proving that the economic operator has access to the necessary economic and financial standing. The statements of support must establish a legal obligation for the party concerned and state that the involved economic operators or entities are subject to joint and severable liability for the performance of the contract.
Vis mere
Economic operators are encouraged to submit all necessary documentation as early as possible.
Mindstekrav til niveauet:
The economic operator is required to have an average yearly turnover of minimum DKK 7 000 000,00 for the last 2 financial years available.

Vis mere
If an economic operator has listed more than 5 contracts, the contracting authority will only read and assess the 5 most recent contracts listed (based on start date).
If the economic operator consists of a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the capacity of other entities, each involved economic operator or entity must submit a completed ESPD.
When an economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the technical and professional abilities of other entities, the specific parts of the contract must be performed by the economic operators or entities with the required technical and professional abilities.
Vis mere
The contracting authority reserves the right to contact the recipients of services or require statements from the recipients, confirming that the economic operator has performed the listed contracts, as documentation in relation to the technical and professional ability.
Vis mere
When an economic operator is formed by a group of economic operators or relies on the technical and professional abilities of other entities, the economic operator must also provide statements of support or other documentation proving that the economic operator has access to the necessary technical and professional abilities. The statements of support must establish a legal obligation for the party concerned and state the parts of the contract to be performed by the party concerned.
Vis mere
Economic operators are encouraged to submit all necessary documentation as early as possible.
Mindstekrav til niveauet:
The economic operator is required to have performed (entered into, ongoing or finalized) minimum 1 contract regarding an independent evaluation of a climate change mitigation programme with a total amount of minimum DKK 500 000.00 net of VAT within the last 3 years.
