Tender for an international recruitment and implementation partner for bilateral country agreements with the Indian state of Kerala and the Philippines
Overall, the aim for the Partner is to ensure implementation of two new bilateral agreements between the Danish State and the Indian State of Kerala and the Danish State and the Philippines, including directly or indirectly facilitating the recruitment, language training and reskilling of care and healthcare workers with the purpose of enabling them to take up employment in Danish municipalities and the Danish regional authorities. It concerns recruitment to the following job categories: Social and Healthcare Helpers: A Social and Healthcare Helper works to provide practical assistance and care to people who need support in their daily lives – for example, the elderly or individuals with disabilities. They assist with personal care such as bathing, dressing, as well as practical tasks such as cooking and cleaning. The helper is often the one who has daily contact and ensures that the citizen is well. Social and Healthcare Assistants: A Social and Healthcare Assistant has more education and responsibility than a helper. They can administer medication, perform more advanced care, and work closely with nurses and doctors. The assistant assesses the citizen's health, plans the care, and coordinates efforts to ensure that the citizen receives appropriate support, both physically and mentally. The Contract also includes an option for the Ministry to allow for the recruitment of nurses: Nurses: A nurse is a person who is trained to perform, lead, and develop nursing, which involves assisting the sick and healthy in promoting or regaining health. This is done by using knowledge of clinical, therapeutic, and relational aspects of healthcare, and nurses work both in hospitals and in primary healthcare.

Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering system used by the contracting entity. For access to the tender documents, the tenderer must be registered or register as a user. If the tender contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply.
All communication in connection with the tender procedure, including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering system. Reference is made to the tender specifications for information concerning questions and answers.
Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the tenderer should encounter problems with the electronic tendering system, the tenderer may contact technical support, either by the support site (link: https://info.mercell.com/da-dk/support-portal/) or telephone (+45) 70 20 80 14.
The tenderer and any subcontractors must submit a solemn declaration as documentation of not being subject to any of the exclusion grounds in the Public Procurement Act §§135, 136 and 137 (1), para (1) and (2). Where the tenderer is a group of operators, the solemn declaration of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in question. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, a solemn declaration must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which the tenderer relies.
It should be noted that the amount is an estimate of the expected contract price for the entire term of the contract, including the price of all options and extensions. The estimate reflects payment per candidate multiplied by the estimated number of candidates over the entire contract period, plus the one-time fixed payment for the start-up phase, plus the hourly rate for Advisory Tasks multiplied by the estimated number of hours. The estimates reflects the contracting entities expectation for the demand for candidates in the contract period, based on the expected development in the need for health and care personnel available at present. The contract value is expected to be between DKK 282,000,000 and DKK 345,000,000. However, as the contract relates to a pilot project, and the total number of candidates available and/or required is uncertain, the contract value is subject to a degree of uncertainty and therefore do not represent a guaranteed minimum turnover for the partner during the contract period. Hence, the actual contract value may deviate from the stated estimate
The contracting entity may use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act in the event that tenders do not comply with the formal requirements of the tender documents.
Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as amended which applies to the tender procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled companies, etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the precise definition of the operators subject to the prohibition). The contracting entity reserves the right at any time during the tender process to require documentation from the economic opera-tors proving that they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation of the place of establishment and ownership of the economic operators and any subcontractors.
A technical dialogue has been conducted prior to this call for tenders. Relevant material from this dialogue is accessible via the electronic tendering system.
An information meeting will be held at the Ministry of Senior Citizens. The specific date and time for this will be announced to the tenderers via the electronic tendering system. For practical reasons, operators interested in participating in the meeting are asked to sign up via the electronic tendering system not later than 3 days before the meeting with indication of name of business and number of participants. The contracting entity may reduce the number of participants per business. The contracting entity will draw up brief minutes of the information meeting which will be announced to all tenderers participating in the tender procedure via the electronic tendering system.

Hovedpunkterne i proceduren:
This tendering procedure concerns a contract regarding a recruitment and implementation partner for bilateral country agreements with the Indian State of Kerala and the Philippines.
It is a service covered by Title III of the Public Procurement Act (the light regime), see sections 186-190 of the Public Procurement Act, regarding procurement of social and other specific services listed in Annex XIV of the Public Procurement Directive (2014/24/EU), see section 7 of the Public Procurement Act.
The procedure for the competitive procurement resembles that of an open procedure, however with the possibility for the contracting authority to enter into negotiations with the tenderers based on the submitted initial tenders or to simply award the contract based on the initial tenders if this is considered to be favorable. Under the competitive procedure anyone who complies with the criteria for eligibility are invited to submit a tender.
The procedure is hence divided into the following phases: tender phase, negotiation and award, however with the option for the contracting authority to award the contract based on the initial tenders submitted. The tenderers are thus not guaranteed that negotiations will take place and should take this into consideration when preparing the initial tender.
For more information on the procedure see the tender specifications.

Liste og kortfattet beskrivelse af regler og kriterier:
The tenderer must submit the tender submission letter with the following information:
The tenderer's equity ratio in the latest financial year(s) available.
In this procedure, the tenderer may rely on the economic and financial capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their economic and financial capacity available to the tenderer must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications.
If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of requirements, see below, the tenderer and the entities in question will be required by the contracting entity to undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the contract.
The tender submission letter serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity.
Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the tender submission letter is accurate.
Upon the contracting entity's request, the following documentation of economic and financial capacity must be submitted:
A statement regarding the operator's equity and assets in the latest annual report/financial statement available, depending on when the operator was established if the equity and assets figures are available. For groups of operators (e.g., a consortium), the information in the latest annual report/financial statement available must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company, a sister company or a subcontractor), information for such other entities must be provided as well.
As a minimum requirement, an equity ratio is required of at least 10 % in the latest annual report/financial statement available. The equity ratio is calculated as the operator’s total equity divided by the operator’s total assets, calculated as a percentage. The equity ratio is thus calculated as (total equity/total assets) x 100 = equity ratio. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, the equity ratio is calculated as the total equity of the tenderer and such other entities divided by their total assets, calculated as a percentage. For groups of operators (e.g., a consortium), the equity ratio is calculated as the total equity of the operators divided by their total assets, calculated as a percentage. The information is to be stated in the tender submission letter.

Liste og kortfattet beskrivelse af regler og kriterier:
The tenderer must submit the tender submission letter with the following information:
A list of the 5 most significant comparable services that the tenderer has carried out in the latest 3 years before the expiry of the deadline for submission of tender.
Only references relating to services carried out at the time of submission of tender will be given importance in the evaluation of whether the requirements regarding technical and professional capacity have been complied with, see below. Hence, in the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the services already performed at the time of submission of tender will be included in the evaluation of the reference.
Each reference is requested to include a brief description of the deliveries made. The description of the delivery should include a clear description of the services to which the delivery relates and the tenderer's role(s) in the performance of the delivery. The reference is furthermore requested to include the financial value of the delivery (amount), the date of delivery and the name of the customer (recipient).
When indicating the date of the delivery, the tenderer is requested to indicate the date of commencement and finalisation of the delivery. If this is not possible, for example if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement, the tenderer is asked to indicate how the date is specified.
No more than 5 references may be stated, irrespective of whether the tenderer is a single operator, whether the tenderer relies on the technical capacity of other entities, or is a group of operators (e.g. a consortium). Where more than 5 references are stated, only the most recent 5 references will be taken into account. Any additional references will be disregarded. If it is not possible to decide which references are the most recent 5 references, the references will be selected by drawing lots.
In this procedure, the tenderer may rely on the technical capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their technical capacity available to the tenderer must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications.
If the tenderer relies on the professional experience of other entities for the performance of specific parts of the services comprised by the contract, such specific parts of the services under the contract must be performed by the entity on which the tenderer relies.
The tender submission letter serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the requirements in respect of technical and professional capacity.
Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the tender submission letter is accurate.
No additional documentation of technical and professional capacity will be required from the tenderer. However, the contracting entity reserves the right to contact the tenderer or the customer stated in the reference for verification of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of the reference indicated.
As a minimum requirement, the tenderer must have at least one reference demonstrating experience with recruitment of labour from India and the Philippines as well as experience in providing political advisory services and engaging in discussions with authorities.
The minimum requirement may be fulfilled by multiple references, whereby one reference may contain experience with recruitment and another reference may demonstrate experience in providing political advisory services. In relation to recruitment, a reference does not need to be in relation to both India and the Philippines at the same time. Consequently, this part of the minimum requirement can be fulfilled by multiple references as well.

Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering system used by the contracting entity. For access to the tender documents, the tenderer must be registered or register as a user. If the tender contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply.
All communication in connection with the tender procedure, including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering system. Reference is made to the tender specifications for information concerning questions and answers.
Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the tenderer should encounter problems with the electronic tendering system, the tenderer may contact technical support, either by the support site (link: https://info.mercell.com/da-dk/support-portal/) or telephone (+45) 70 20 80 14.
The tenderer and any subcontractors must submit a solemn declaration as documentation of not being subject to any of the exclusion grounds in the Public Procurement Act §§135, 136 and 137 (1), para (1) and (2). Where the tenderer is a group of operators, the solemn declaration of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in question. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, a solemn declaration must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which the tenderer relies.
It should be noted that the amount is an estimate of the expected contract price for the entire term of the contract, including the price of all options and extensions. The estimate reflects payment per candidate multiplied by the estimated number of candidates over the entire contract period, plus the one-time fixed payment for the start-up phase, plus the hourly rate for Advisory Tasks multiplied by the estimated number of hours. The estimates reflects the contracting entities expectation for the demand for candidates in the contract period, based on the expected development in the need for health and care personnel available at present. The contract value is expected to be between DKK 282,000,000 and DKK 345,000,000. However, as the contract relates to a pilot project, and the total number of candidates available and/or required is uncertain, the contract value is subject to a degree of uncertainty and therefore do not represent a guaranteed minimum turnover for the partner during the contract period. Hence, the actual contract value may deviate from the stated estimate
The contracting entity may use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act in the event that tenders do not comply with the formal requirements of the tender documents.
Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as amended which applies to the tender procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled companies, etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the precise definition of the operators subject to the prohibition). The contracting entity reserves the right at any time during the tender process to require documentation from the economic opera-tors proving that they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation of the place of establishment and ownership of the economic operators and any subcontractors.
A technical dialogue has been conducted prior to this call for tenders. Relevant material from this dialogue is accessible via the electronic tendering system.
An information meeting will be held at the Ministry of Senior Citizens. The specific date and time for this will be announced to the tenderers via the electronic tendering system. For practical reasons, operators interested in participating in the meeting are asked to sign up via the electronic tendering system not later than 3 days before the meeting with indication of name of business and number of participants. The contracting entity may reduce the number of participants per business. The contracting entity will draw up brief minutes of the information meeting which will be announced to all tenderers participating in the tender procedure via the electronic tendering system.
