This tender relates to a Framework agreement for the delivery of GPU as a Service (GPUaaS) to support the national research cloud service UCloud. The service will provide researchers, universities, and public institutions in Denmark with secure, scalable, and high-performance access to GPU computing resources for data-intensive research, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing (HPC). With more than 17,000 users today and demand accelerating, UCloud is experiencing unprecedented growth. At the current trajectory, the platform is expected to reach around 50,000 users by 2030. The interactive nature of the service leads to significant fluctuations in infrastructure demand, particularly for GPU nodes. To support this growth and variability, UCloud requires access to an infrastructure pool that can scale rapidly and reliably to very large sizes on demand. The purpose of this tender is to establish a sovereign and secure GPUaaS infrastructure, physically located in Denmark, capable of handling sensitive personal data in compliance with Danish and EU regulations. The solution will be integral part of UCloud and it will provide an extension of the infrastructure currently owned and operated by SDU. The solution must be able to scale flexibly to meet national demand, including support for environments exceeding 1,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs or equivalent. For a more detailed description of the services tendered, please refer to Annex 1 – Specification of requirements, Annex 1.1 – Overview of the solution and Annex 2 – Schedule of prices, as well as any corrections and answers to questions.

DOCUMENTATION OF ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL STANDING
The Contracting Authority intends to ask applicants to provide evidence of the information on financial and economic standing, in the ESPD, as set out in Part III.1.2. of the procurement notice.
The documentation shall consist of the most recent approved and audited annual financial statement (or equivalent statutory financial report), including the auditor’s report, clearly indicating the size of the equity.
EVIDENCE OF GROUNDS FOR EXCLUSION
The Tenderer must be able to prove that it is not subject to the mandatory grounds for exclusion as set out in Section 135(1), (2) and (3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (Act No. 1564 of 15/12/2015).
To the extent possible, this must be documented by submitting the documentation specified in eCertis, as per Section 152(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. Such documentation may include:
An extract from the relevant register or an equivalent document issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority declaring that the candidate or the Tenderer is not subject to the grounds for exclusion.
A certificate issued by the competent authority of the country concerned as proof that the applicant is not covered by the grounds for exclusion.
A declaration made under oath or a solemn declaration made before a competent judicial or administrative authority, before a notary public or before a competent professional organisation in the country where the applicant or the Tenderer is established.
Other relevant documentation as listed in eCertis
For Danish Tenderers, the documentation is contained in the ‘Service certificate’ (serviceattest), which can be requested from the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen). The time frame for obtaining a service certificate, from request to receipt, is normally two weeks. The service certificate must have been issued no more than 12 months before the offer deadline.
For international Tenderers, it is the Contracting Authority’s experience that the time frame for receiving this documentation varies significantly in the individual member states. As a result, the Contracting Authority strongly encourages international Tenderers to obtain this documentation as early as possible. The documentation must have been issued no more than 12 months before the offer deadline.
It is recommended to have the documentation ready and available already in connection with submission of the tender.
The EU has launched eCertis, a free, online-based service with information for companies and contracting authorities on various forms of documentation when tendering public contracts. For information on relevant certificates, please go to: https://ec.europa.eu/tools/ecertis/#/search
