Kort beskrivelse
The objective of this procurement is to select an operator for the role of fund manager to implement and operate the DAPP Communication Fund for a five-year (60 months) period from 2022 to 2027.

e. Manage lean version of DAPP website and social media platforms with recurrent information sharing
f. Organise a mid-term DAPP conference in Denmark for decision-makers and partners
The Consultant is expected to translate the overall objective into work plans dividing responsibility between a minor budget for recurrent communication (web, SoMe and a mid-term conference) and a significantly larger share for thematic communication support in response to calls-for-proposals.
Recurrent communication by the Consultant as well as the annual calls-for-proposals are expected to respond to the following five overall strategic priorities:
A. Engagement
Support will be prioritised to formats that can engage decision-makers and influencers with some prior knowledge and engagement in the areas of international development cooperation.
B. Innovation
Important that applicants to calls-for-proposal are encouraged to demonstrate ability to inform and engage in new and unexpected ways, including an approach to storytelling and media mix that are likely to attract attention and interest within the specified target groups and context of DAPP.
C. Outreach
Essential that communication proposals include plans and capacity for distribution in order to be able to reach and engage intended target groups with an ensuing outcome that can be measured and documented.
D. Credibility
Priority will be given to communication capturing the complexities of ‘building better lives for young people’ in the DAPP countries by highlighting results and challenges.
E. Partnership
Finally, collaboration is encouraged between different types of experts wishing to communicate the context and contribution of DAPP by forming consortia of complementary parties such as CSOs, communication professionals and/or educational institutions.

Liste og kortfattet beskrivelse af betingelserne
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.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if it has unpaid overdue debt of DKK 100,000 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 or more, cf. section 135(5).
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if 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.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if 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);
(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);
(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/tools/ecertis
Economic operators are encouraged to submit all necessary documentation as early as possible.

Liste og kortfattet beskrivelse af udvælgelseskriterier
In Part IV.C of the ESPD, the economic operator must fill in a list of maximum 5 contracts entered into, ongoing or finalized within the last 3 years.
The number of performed contracts is determined based on all submitted ESPDs (i.e. from all involved economic operators in a group of economic operators and/or other supporting entities).

(4) end date (date of completion of services), and

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.
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.
