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.

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.

Økonomisk og finansiel stilling:

In Part IV.B of the ESPD, the economic operator must fill in its average yearly turnover for the last 2 financial years available (where the economic operator can present annual reports).

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.

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.

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 several 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 9,000,000.00 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 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).

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).

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 technical and professional abilities of other entities, the specific parts of the contract must be performed by the economic operators or entities with the required technical and professional abilities.

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.

Economic operators are encouraged to submit all necessary documentation as early as possible.

Mindstekrav til niveauet:

Within the last 3 years, the economic operator is required to have performed (entered into, ongoing or finalised) minimum two (2) contracts regarding monitoring and evaluation of a bi- or multilateral development partner funded development programme in a developing country.

‘Monitoring and evaluation’ means a long-term performance review and evaluation of the implementation and results of a development programme.

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).

- Assist MENA and the MFA posted staff in Istanbul to process the partners’ monitoring reports to yield the elements needed for inputting into the MFA reporting and transparency systems;

- Ensure that partners implement and follow the procedures, requirements and reporting schedules in accordance with the agreements, PSEDs and relevant MFA guidelines;

- Liaise with other stakeholders in the region to stay abreast of contextual and political developments in Iraq and Syria and in the region that may potentially influence the SI-PSP 2022-2025 and individual engagements;

- SI-PSP engagement and programme progress reports based on input received from partners;

- Assist MENA with drawing up Terms of Reference for technical reviews and other reviews such as Mid-Term Review;

Andre supplerende oplysninger

Due to increased immigration from several countries over the past years, Turkey has increased its enforcement of its immigration laws and restricted the conditions for obtaining a work and temporary residency permits for foreigners who intend to work in Turkey. This has generally had consequences for both foreigners applying for residence and work permits for the first time and for renewals. As a result, Turkey has rejected the application for renewal of the temporary work permit for the Consultant’s MEAL expert (Iraq), and the Consultant expects that the work permit for the Consultant’s MEAL expert (Syria), will likewise be rejected. Therefore, the Consultant’s Meal expert (Iraq) and Meal expert (Syria) can maximum stay in Turkey without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The modifications do not result in material changes to the Agreement, cf. Section 183 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, as: 1) MENA could not have foreseen the need for the change since MENA could not have foreseen the difficulties in obtaining work or residency permits as it was possible to obtain temporary residency permits in 2022, despite the legislation came into force in 2019, and since the Consultant's Iraq expert had previously obtained a residency permit (which is now denied). The effect of the implementation of the new legislation and the further ongoing tightening of the application of the legislation in 2023 and 2024, which directly affects the possibility of obtaining work and residency permits, could not have been foreseen by a diligent contracting authority, 2) the main place of performance (duty station in Istanbul, Turkey) remains unchanged, and the Consultant’s Key Staff shall to the extent possible perform 90 working days in Turkey per 180-day period, and 3) the original value of the Contract Price net of VAT has not changed (thus not exceeding 50% or more).

Hovedårsagen til ændringen: Behov for ændringer på grund af omstændigheder, som en omhyggelig køber ikke kunne forudse.

Tekst:

In the Scope of Services, the positions for Meal expert (Iraq) and Meal expert (Syria) were long-term assignments but are now changed to short-term assignments. The Meal expert (Iraq) and Meal expert (Syria) shall to the extent possible perform 90 working days in Turkey per 180-day period. As a result, the Meal expert (Iraq) and Meal expert (Syria) will from 1 July 2024 to 30 September 2026 perform 228 and 272 fewer working days in Turkey respectively (the total number of working days for each Key Staff shall remain unchanged).
