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) and Section 135(2) 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(2), 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(2), 135(3) and 137(1)(2);

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(2), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) entirely);

(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).

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.

Economic operators can identify the relevant documentation using the online platform e-Certis: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/ecertis/

— 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,

— 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.

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 28 000.000 for the last 2 financial years available.

When the 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 capacity of other entities, it is required that the participating economic operators or the economic operator and the entities referred to altogether meet the selection criteria.

Teknisk og faglig kompetence:

In Part IV.C of the ESPD, the economic operator must fill in a list of maximum five contracts entered into, ongoing or finalized within the last 3 years stating a description of the contract (nature and quantity of services from the economic operator and how they compare to the description of this procurement), amount (contract fee received by the economic operator), start date, end date and recipient (name and contact information):

— if an economic operator has listed more than five contracts, the contracting authority will only read and assess the 5 most recent contracts listed (based on start date),

— 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,

— 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.

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 two contracts within the fields of:

— technical consulting services concerning implementation of capacity development related to energy efficiency and sustainable energy, and

With a combined total amount of DKK 5 000.000 within the last 3 years.

Both topics need to be represented in the contracts, but not necessarily in both contracts.
