In continuation of the notification of pre-qualification, the tenderer, other entities and association must, at the contracting authority’s request, submit documentation in accordance with Sections 144 and 152 of the Danish Public Procurement Act for the information provided in the ESPD in connection with the pre-qualification. How this documentation must be submitted is described in the tender conditions Section 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.
The contracting authority is entitled, but not obliged, to request the tenderer, the association’s participants or other entities to supplement or specify the received documentation, see the utilities Directive art. 76 (4).
If the tenderer, the association’s participants or other entities are from Denmark, the documentation is presented in the form of a service certificate from the Danish Business Authority. The service certificate must contain information from:
— the probate court under the Danish District courts,
— the Danish Customs and Tax Administration,
— the Danish Labour Market Supplementary Pension Fund (ATP),
— the Police (the Danish Central Crime Register) Please note that a ‘declaration of consent’ must be filled in, signed and uploaded when ordering the service certificate.
The service certificate must be maximum 12 months old calculated from the deadline for submission of the service certificate as stated by the contracting authority in the letter of request.
The processing time with the Danish Business Authority is approximately 2 weeks from when the order of the service certificate has been received.
If the tenderer, one or more of the participants in the association or other entities are not from Denmark, they must, as a general rule, submit the types of documentation stipulated in e-Certis. e-Certis is an online information system which must be used to find the right documentation to be used by EU member states in connection with invitations to tender.
