I/S Vestforbrænding (hereinafter ’VF’) hereby calls for tenders for to build new compression heat pumps located at Vestforbrænding, Ejby Mosevej 219, 2600 Glostrup, Denmark, as a part of a carbon capture project divided into several lots. The heat pumps are specified as Lot 6A. VF wishes to engage a contractor for the engineering, installation, and commissioning of the heat pump system.
The heat pumps will be implemented as part of the second stage of flue gas condensation to guarantee that the flue gas is at 35 °C at the flue gas condensation outlet before entering an up-and-coming carbon capture plant. The first stage of the flue gas condensation, i.e., Lot 6B, is necessary to be implemented before Lot 6A, because existing absorption heat pumps must be decommissioned.
On the cold side, the heat pumps will be cooling an intermediate circuit, while on the hot side, will be preheating district heating water before entering the turbine condensers.

Objektive kriterier for udvælgelse af det begrænsede antal ansøgere
VF intends to select four candidates who will be invited to participate in the tender and negotiation phase and submit an initial tender.
If four candidates or less apply for prequalification VF intends to select all candidates, provided that each candidate fulfils the requirements for suitability and is not subject to grounds for exclusion. However, VF may choose to annul the procurement procedure if the number of candidates that fulfils the requirements for suitability and is not subject to grounds for exclusion is deemed too low to ensure an adequate competition. If more than four candidates fulfil the requirements for suitability and are not subject to grounds for exclusion, VF will select the candidates to receive an invitation to submit an initial tender among these candidates.
This selection will be based on the following criterion:
• The most relevant experience
VF will evaluate the references provided by the candidate on the basis on the criterion ‘the most relevant experience’. The more the references provided by the candidate correspond to the subject of this procurement procedure the more positively VF will assess this candidate’s prequalification application.
In the comparison between the references and the subject of this procurement procedure, VF will, among other things, attach importance to the extent to which the references document experience with:
• Design, manufacturing, construction, electrical installation, control and commissioning of compression heat pumps with a cooling capacity of 4 MW or more
• Design, manufacturing, construction, electrical installation, control and commissioning of compression heat pumps configuration in series
The candidate is encouraged to describe its references in detail and to point out any factors that make the individual references particularly comparable to the contract up for tender.
The selection will be based solely on the references specified in the ESPD and a maximum of 5 references. If the candidate has provided more than 5 references, only the 5 most recent references will be considered in the selection decision.
The maximum number of references to be considered also applies if the candidate is a group of economic operators and/or if the candidate is based on one or more entities.

“In this procurement procedure the following exclusion grounds of sections 134 a, 135-136 and section 137(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (with...”
In this procurement procedure the following exclusion grounds of sections 134 a, 135-136 and section 137(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (with subsequent amendments) apply.
Economic operators must submit a European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) as preliminary evidence that the economic operator is not subject to exclusion grounds and fulfils the requirements for economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability. When the economic operator is participating together with others or relies on the capacity of other entities, each participating economic operator must provide a separate ESPD.
VF intends to request documentation regarding the information provided in ESPD from the economic operators in connection with the invitation to submit initial tenders.
To document that the economic operator is not subject to grounds for exclusion VF expects to ask the economic operator to submit:
• An extract 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);
If the country in question does not issue the documents or certificates, or if such documents or certificates do not cover all the cases mentioned, those documents or certificates may be replaced by a declaration on oath. If declarations on oath are not provided for in the relevant country, a solemn declaration made before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary, or a competent professional organisation in the country in which the economic operators is established may be provided instead.
For economic operators established in Denmark this documentation may be submitted in the form of an official certificate (‘serviceattest’) issued by the Danish Business Authority. Economic operators can identify the relevant documentation using the online platform e-Certis: https://ec.europa.eu/tools/ecertis.
VF will accept sufficient documentation from national authorities in the national language. However, VF requests that an unofficial translation into English is submitted as well.
To document that the economic operator fulfils the requirements for suitability for participation in this procurement procedure VF expects to ask the economic operator to submit:
• An audited annual report or equivalent documentation stating the economic operator’s turnover, equity, and equity ratio (equity-to-assets ratio) in most recently concluded and audited financial year at the deadline for submission of the application for prequalification. If an annual report is not required under the law of the country in which the economic operator is established or if the annual report doesn’t contain the required information VF will accept a declaration from the economic operator’s external accountant.
• Contact information to contact persons at the customers mentioned as references in ESPD
• Documentation that the customer has acknowledged that the heat pumps have been commissioned for commercial operation in accordance with the contract guarantied capacity.
If the information above is available to VF via access to a national database, the tenderer is not obliged to submit the documentation in question to VF. However, in that case VF asks that the tenderer informs VF where to find the information and supplies VF with any necessary passwords, etc.
Groups of economic operators will be asked to submit documentation regarding exclusion grounds and requirements for suitability for each of the economic operators in the group. If the tenderer is based on one or more supporting entities the tenderer will be asked to submit documentation regarding exclusion grounds and documentation for the relevant capacities of the supporting entity regarding fulfilling the requirements for suitability.
