How this documentation must be submitted is described in the tender conditions.
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 service certificate must be maximum six (6) 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 eCertis. eCertis 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.
The applicant/tenderer is requested to seek to clarify any unclear points and uncertainties by asking questions to the tender procedure. All questions must be submitted in EU-Supply.
