“Applicants must declare that they do not find themselves subject to any of the below mentioned grounds for exclusion.
Such declaration is made by completing...”
Applicants must declare that they do not find themselves subject to any of the below mentioned grounds for exclusion.
Such declaration is made by completing part III, Clauses A, B and C, of the ESPD.
Applicants are excluded from participating in the tender procedure if they are subject to the grounds for exclusion laid down in sections 135-137 of the Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven).
The Contracting Authority will also exclude a tenderer from participating in the tender procedure if, during the tender procedure, the tenderer becomes subject to the grounds for exclusion provided for in sections 135-137 of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
If applicants or tenderers are subject to the grounds for exclusion provided for in sections 135-137 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, such applicants/tenderers may, however, by producing adequate documentation of their reliability, prove that they must not be excluded after all, see the condi-tions laid down in section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
Please note that: Under section 134 a of the Public Procurement Act, the Contracting Authority shall exclude an applicant or tenderer from participation in the tender procedure if the applicant or tenderer is established in a country on the EU list of noncooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes and has not acceded the WTO’s Agreement on Government Procurement or other commercial agreements obligating Denmark to open the market of public contracts to tenderers established in the country in question. The Contracting Authority will ensure the absence of a ground for exclusion prior to the award decision. The exclusion provideded in section 134 a is not currently covered by the ESPD, as there is no field that embraces the matter. Information on whether the applicant is subject to grounds for exclusion should therefore be provided in the ESPD in the field that the Contracting Authority makes available to the applicants.
In the event that the Contracting Authority contemplate to exclude an applicant/tenderer, the Contracting Authority will fix a suitable deadline for providing adequate documentation of the applicant's/tenderer's reliability.
Before the conclusion of the contract, the successful tenderer must present documentation proving that the tenderer is suitable and not subject to grounds for exclusion. Businesses located in Denmark may use a service certificate from the Danish Business Authority. Businesses located outside of Denmark may use the following documentation:
- Extracts from relevant registers or similar documents issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority as well as certificates issued by the competent authorities
- Sworn declarations
- Solemn declarations before a competent judicial or administrative authority, before a notary public or a competent professional organization in the country in which the business is established.
The contracting authority will accept declarations or certificates issued no later than 6 months before the submission of final tender.
No remuneration shall be paid to tenderers for their participation in the procurement process.
The tenderer is obliged to keep the tender open for three months as from the deadline for submission of tenders. The obligation to keep the tender open is not affected by the Contracting Authority's awarding of the contract.
