Kort beskrivelse:
The DAPP has been an important instrument in Denmark’s foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) since its establishment in 2003. The DAPP phase 20222027, building on the positive experiences of the past and focusing on employment and human rights, will continue to support Danish policy priorities in the region, and in particular, policies addressing migration. Recognizing that a youth focus is key to ensuring better, more secure, and more prosperous lives in the MENA region, the DAPP adopts youth as its main target group. The DAPP comprises two programmes with complementary strategic objectives aimed at improving young people’s lives: Human Rights and Inclusion (HRI, DKK 460 million) and Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship (YEE, DKK 435 million). DAPP partners have been appointed through previous tender processes earlier this year. The DAPP will be monitored according to the Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) principles by a MEAL unit (this tender). The MEAL system is designed to ensure accountability through effective and timely information sharing and to provide beneficiaries, taxpayers, and politicians with transparent results reporting allowing them to act upon information received. The overall objective of the Assignment is to ensure accountability through effective and timely information sharing and to provide beneficiaries, taxpayers, and politicians with transparent results reporting allowing them to act upon information received. The MEAL unit will have a full-time presence in the MENA region, with two field offices, one in Amman covering Jordan and Egypt and another in Tunis covering Tunisia, Morocco and potentially Algeria.

Betingelser for deltagelse
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 5 years for any of the exclusion grounds relating to the criminal convictions listed in section 135(1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
… 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).
… 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 3 years has been subject to any of the exclusion grounds listed in sections 136(1)(3-4) and 137(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
An economic operator is not required to answer whether it is subject to purely national exclusion grounds, cf. Part III.D of the ESPD.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if the economic operator is established in a country which is entered on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes and which has not adopted the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) or other trade agreements that oblige Denmark to open its market for public contracts for tenderers established in the country in question, cf. section 134 a of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
Vis mere
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);
Vis mere
(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);
Vis mere
(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).
Vis mere
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.

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 several liability for the performance of the contract.
Vis mere
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.

Vis mere
Teknisk og faglig kompetence:

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).
If an economic operator has listed more than 5 contracts, the contracting authority will only read and assess the 5 most recent contracts listed (first based on end date, and then based on start date).
Each listed contract should include the following information:
(1) a description of the contract (nature and quantity of services from the economic operator and how they compare to the description of this procurement),
(2) amount (remuneration received by the economic operator for the performance of the services),
(3) start date (date of conclusion of the contract),
(4) end date (date of completion of services), and
(5) recipient (name and contact information).
If the economic operator consists of a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the capacity of other entities, each involved economic operator or entity must submit a completed ESPD.

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.
Vis mere

Vis mere

A reference related to an ‘independent evaluation’ carried out for an evaluation unit of a development organisation will not be considered a relevant reference. Neither will an award of a framework agreement be (but the economic operator may refer to the contracts awarded under the framework agreement).
