The tenderer must together with its tender submit an ESPD as preliminary documentation of the circumstances set out in section 148(1), paras 1-3 of the Danish Public Procurement Act.

For groups of economic operators, including temporary associations (consortia, joint ventures and the like), a separate ESPD must be completed, signed and submitted for each of the participating entities. If the tenderer is a group of economic operators, including a temporary association (consortia, joint ventures and the like), the tender is requested to include a consortium declaration signed by all of the participating entities, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications, which the tenderer is invited to use as template for the consortium declaration.

If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, a properly completed and signed ESPD for each entity on which the tenderer bases its capacity shall be submitted. In this procedure, the tenderer may rely on the technical capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements stated in section III.1.3). The operator(s) making its/their technical capacity available for the tenderer must sign a statement of support, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications, which the tenderer is invited to use as a template for the declaration.

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 134 a, 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, and the exclusion ground stated in the Danish Public Procurement Act, section 137(1), para 2 unless the tenderer has submitted sufficient documentation of its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act.

It is noted that the tender is covered by article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 with amendments, which contains a prohibition against awarding a contract to Russian companies or Russian controlled companies etc. (see article 5k(1) regarding the precise delimitation of the operators covered by the prohibition). S&B reserve the right to demand documentation at any time during the tender process to verify that the tenderer is not covered by the prohibition, e.g. demand a declaration and/or demand documentation of the place of establishment and ownership of the operators and their possible subcontractors. The tenderer will be excluded from participation in the tender procedure if the tenderer is subject to this prohibition.

Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom S&B intends to award the framework agreement must provide documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 151-152, cf. section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to the documentation mentioned in sections 153, 155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the tenderer may submit to S&B a certificate of registration in an official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. S&B only accepts certificates of registration in an official list from tenderers established in the country holding the official list.

S&B has considered dividing the framework agreement into lots but has concluded not to do so, as the services to be provided under the framework are best considered as one project. Data collection is an important input into the model development, as well as the model development is determinant for the data collection. Consequently, there are positive effects from gathering both the model development and data collection in one project.

The estimated value of the deliverables under the Framework Agreement is DKK 9,500,000.00, whereas the total maximum value of the deliverables under the Framework Agreement is DKK 15,000,000.00.
