Tekst
Participation in the tendering procedure may only take place by electronic means via the
electronic tendering system used by the contracting entity, see section I.3). For access to the
procurement documents, the tenderer must be registered or register as a user. Interested
operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the tenderer encounters problems with the system, please contact Mercell Sourcing Services. If the tender
contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply. All
communication in connection with the tender procedure, must be by way of the electronic
tendering system. Question must be submitted in English; see tender specifications. Any costs
incurred by the tenderer by participating in the tender procedure will not be compensated by
the contracting entity. The tenderer must as its application submit an ESPD as preliminary
documentation of the circumstances set out in section 148(1) paras (1)-(3) of the Danish
Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven). For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), a separate
ESPD must be submitted for each participating operator. If the tenderer relies on the capacity
of other entities, an ESPD must be submitted for each of the entities on which the tenderer
relies. The tenderer will be excluded from participation in the tender procedure if the tenderer is
subject to the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 135-136 of the Danish
Public Procurement Act and section 137(1) para 2 of the Danish Public Procurement Act,
unless the tenderer has submitted sufficient documentation of its reliability in accordance with
section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. Before the decision to award the contract is
made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must provide
documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 151-152, cf.
section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. If the tenderer relies on the economic and
financial capacity of other entities, cf. section III.1.2), the tenderer must upon request submit a
letter of commitment or other documentation proving that the tenderer has the required
resources at its disposal including that the entity/entities on which the candidate relies
has/have undertaken joint and several liability and has a legal obligation towards the tenderer.
It should be noted that section II.1.5 is an estimate of the expected total maximum value for all
lots. The estimated value for all lots are expected to lie in the range DKK 12.800.000 kr. - 16.800.000. The ranges indicated above and the range for the individual lots indicated in
section II.2.14) are based on the uncertainty as to the final value of the individual lots. The
lower limit of the range thus expresses the contracting entity's estimate of the framework
agreement's expected minimum value of all contracts awarded in the term of the framework
agreement, whereas the upper limit of the range is an expression of the expected maximum
value of all contracts awarded in the term of the framework agreement. The contracting entity's
expectations based on the most likely amount of business on the framework agreement are
thus taken into account, as well as the expected uncertainty of this estimate. It is emphasised
that the tenderers are not guaranteed any minimum business. The contracting entity's estimate
is based on historical consumption. Essential to the estimated value of the framework
agreement will i.a. be the general development in type of and need for forensic examinations.
The contracting entity may use the procedure of section 159(5) and (6) of the Danish Public
Procurement Act in the event that applications or tenders do not comply with the formal
requirements of the procurement documents. Regarding IV.2.4) The tenders must be submitted
in English, however technical documentation can be submitted in English or Danish.
