Beskrivelse af udbuddet

This Tender concerns a Contract for the design, engineering, manufacturing/procurement, installation, testing, commissioning and trial operation of a complete Sorting Line for the new sorting and recycling Plant that will be constructed on the new site in Fredericia (Jutland), Denmark. The primary function of the Sorting Line is to sort and bale Compacted Beverage Packaging of ALU and PET.
The Works shall include a:
- Receiving and storage system
- Sorting system
- Buffer and baling system
- Control and monitoring system
The execution of the Contract is divided into five phases, cf. Part III.c Contract Time Schedule and Payment Schedule:
- The design, engineering & manufacturing/procurement phase
- The installation on Site phase
- The testing & commissioning phase
- The trial operation phase
- The Guarantee Period
The Contract will be a turnkey contract, meaning the Sorting Line is to be delivered as a complete production facility ready to use.
DRS has described the principle and basic design of the Sorting Line on a functional basis and set out the technical specifications in Part IV (Scope of Work).
The Contractor is given the freedom to carry out the work in its chosen manner, provided that the result meets requirements set out by DRS in Part IV (Scope of Work).
The purpose of the tender and negotiation phase is to establish an appropriate framework for dialogue between DRS and the Tenderers regarding the Tenders (Preliminary and Revised Tenders) and the Tender Documents, cf. section 6 in the Tender Conditions. The dialogue in the negotiations should ensure that the Final Tenders meet DRS’ needs to the best possible extent, support effective competition and prevent misunderstandings and errors in the Tender Procedure. The tender and negotiation phase is sequential and begins with the submission of a Preliminary Tender. Based on the Preliminary Tender, DRS will initiate negotiations with the Tenderers in accordance with the guidelines set out below, see sections 9.4 to 9.6 in the Tender Conditions. DRS expects that there will be two rounds of negotiations (i.e. after the submission of Preliminary Tenders and after the submission of Revised Tenders). However, DRS reserves the right to award the Contract on the basis of the Preliminary Tenders or Revised Tenders without conducting further negotiations, cf. the Contract Notice. DRS also reserves the right to carry out additional rounds of negotiation, if this is deemed necessary.
