2.1 Procedure

Titel: Competitive procedure with negotiation concerning West Bridge Bearing Refurbishment\n (WBBR)

Beskrivelse: The Contracting Entity calls for the tender for West Bridge Bearing Refurbishment\n (WBBR).

The project involves refurbishment of 188 structural bearings on\n the West Bridge, which is part of the Great Belt Link in Denmark. The work includes\n both the provision of newly manufactured bearings (approx. 44) and the renovation\n of the remaining bearings over a period of maximum 5 years.

The project\n involves two parallel concrete bridges – one for rail and one for road. The bridges\n have now been in service for well over 25 years and the service life of the PTFE sliding\n plates in the bearings are now close to the end of expected lifetime.

The\n project comprises of substantial work above open waters and includes the handling\n of structural bearings with a weight between 5 and 8 tonnes. The work also includes\n design and manufacturing of temporary structures necessary to carry out the refurbishments,\n according to a concept developed by the Contractor. The bearings needing renovation\n will have to be taken to land for refurbishment.

Pursuant to section 49 of\n the Danish Public Procurement Act, the Contracting Entity has further considered whether\n the Contract can be divided into other lots but has found it most appropriate not\n to make such a division.

It is the Contracting Entity's assessment that\n dividing the Contract into lots would result in disproportionate administrative burdens,\n both in relation to the synergies, the tender process and in relation to ongoing contract\n management, including the ongoing management of the tasks under the Contract.

Udbudsprocedure: Udbud med forhandling/indkaldelse af tilbud med forudgående offentliggørelse

Proceduren er en hasteprocedure: nej

Hovedpunkterne i proceduren: The tender procedure will be conducted as the competitive procedure with negotiation,\n see the Danish Public Procurement Act, section 61(1), para (1), point c. The reason\n for conducting the tender procedure as the competitive procedure with negotiation\n is due to the Contracts complexity, financial circumstances and risks involved.

The\n tender procedure is sequential and starts with the submission of the first Indicative\n Offer (INDO1). On the basis of the INDO1, the Contracting Entity will conduct negotiations\n with the tenderers in accordance with the guidelines set out below, cf. Section 7.\n During the negotiations, the Contracting Entity may ask the tenderers to submit additional\n Indicative Offers (INDO2, INDO3, and so on), and the Contracting Entity may publish\n changes of the tender material.

Following the conclusion of the negotiations,\n tenderers are expected to submit the Best and Final Offer (BAFO). The BAFOs will then\n be evaluated by the Contracting Entity using the award criteria set out in section\n 10. The Contract is then awarded to the most economically advantageous tender.

Please\n note, however, that certain aspects of the procedure, such as the number of INDOs,\n remain subject to change (as further described in the following sections).

The\n Contracting Entity may award the Contract on the basis of an initial tender (INDO1s,\n INDO2s, INDO3s etc.) and, hence, the tenderers cannot expect negotiation meetings\n to be conducted, see ITT section 7 (Negotiations). The tenderers must therefore ensure\n that the initial tenders are complete and that prices are set on the basis of the\n tender documents that form the basis of the tender submission. Matters listed in the\n tenderer's comments to the tender documents (Tender Submission Letter) are not considered\n to be part of the initial tender (but a proposal for negotiations) and the list is\n therefore not considered a reservation either.

The Contracting Entity will\n pay a participation fee of EUR 17,500,00 excl. VAT to each tenderer who participates\n in the negotiations and submits a compliant final tender (BAFO) or a compliant initial\n tender 2 etc. if the Contract is awarded based on such initial tender. However, a\n participation fee will not be paid to the tenderer who is awarded the Contract.

If\n the tender procedure is cancelled, the tenderers will receive no participation fee.\n However, the Contracting Entity may choose to pay a discretionary part of the participation\n fee depending on when in the process the tender procedure is cancelled. If the tender\n procedure is cancelled after receipt of compliant final tenders, a full participation\n fee will be paid.

2.1.4 Generelle oplysninger

Yderligere oplysninger: Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via\n the electronic tendering system used by the Contracting Entity. For access to the\n procurement documents, the candidate must be registered or register as a user. If\n the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded\n version will apply.

All communication in connection with the tender procedure,\n including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering\n system. Reference is made to the Instructions to Tenderers (ITT) for information concerning\n questions and answers.

Interested operators are requested to keep updated\n via the electronic tendering system. If the candidate encounters problems with the\n system, please contact support by e-mail, dksupport@eu-supply.com, or telephone (+45)\n 70 20 80 14.

As its application, the candidate must submit an ESPD as preliminary\n documentation of the circumstances set out in section 148(1), paras (1)-(3) of the\n Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven), and section 137(1) para (1) of the Danish\n Public Procurement Act. It is not necessary for the candidate to sign the ESPD document.\n

For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted\n for each participating operator. Where the candidate is a group of operators, the\n ESPD document of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in\n question. The candidate heading the group and submitting the application is not required\n to sign its ESPD document. If the candidate relies on the capacities of other entities,\n an ESPD must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which it relies.

The\n candidate will be excluded from participation in the application procedure if the\n candidate is subject to the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 135,\n 136 and the voluntary grounds for exclusion set out in section 137(1) paragraph (1)\n and (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, unless the candidate has submitted sufficient\n documentation of its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act.

The candidate must also submit a letter of commitment in\n which the entity/entities on which the candidate relies has/have undertaken joint\n and several liability with the candidate if the candidate is awarded the Contract.\n The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender material, see “Prequalification\n Template A”.

Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the\n Contracting Entity intends to award the contract must provide documentation of the\n information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 151-152, cf. section 153 of\n the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to the documentation mentioned\n in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the applicant\n and tenderer may submit to the Contracting Entity a certificate of registration in\n an official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. The Contracting Entity only accepts\n certificates of registration in an official list from candidates and tenderers established\n in the country holding the official list.

It should be noted that each candidate\n may only submit one application for prequalification.

The Contracting Entity\n will select the number of candidates by applying the selection criteria stated in\n this contract notice, unless the Contracting Entity receives no more than the stated\n number of compliant requests for participation.

The Contracting Entity may\n use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act in the event\n that applications do not comply with the requirements of the procurement documents.

Pursuant\n to the Danish Investment Screening Act (https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/1256)\n economic operators i) that are domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) are controlled\n by or subject to significant influence as defined in the Act from an entity domiciled\n in or a national of a country outside the EU or EFTA must apply to the Danish Business\n Authority for an authorisation to enter into a “special financial agreement” within\n a particularly sensitive sector or activity. The Contracting Entity has assessed that\n the conclusion of the contract may be subject to the authorisation requirement. The\n supplier should clarify whether the suppliers conclusion of the Contract will be subject\n to such requirement. Further details are available at https://businessindenmark.virk.dk/guidance/erst-activities-covered-by-the-investment-screening-act/Special-financial-agreements/.

Attention\n is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as later amended which applies\n for the application procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award\n of contracts to Russian companies and Russian controlled companies etc. (reference\n is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the exact delimitation of the actors covered\n by the prohibition). The Contracting Entity may at any time during the application\n process require that the economic suppliers prove that they are not covered by the\n prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation\n regarding the economic suppliers’ and any subcontractors’ place of establishment and\n ownership.

An information meeting will be held virtually on 18 December at\n 13:00-14:00 PM. The Candidates is asked to inform whether the candidate will participate\n in the information meeting. The information must be submitted via the electronic tendering\n system preferably no later than 15 December 2025, 12:00 PM and a link will be sent\n to the Candidates informed e-mail. At the meeting, the Contracting Entity will explain\n the background and purpose of the Project for which the Candidates are invited to\n apply. Furthermore, the Contracting Entity will provide more general information about\n the tender documents.

A site visit of of the surroundings, the available\n space on the piers, the bearings, etc including inspection of the different types\n of bearings, will be possible. The site visit will take place on 12 March 2026, 9:00-13.00\n AM, at Storebæltsvej 70, 4220 Korsør, Denmark. Tenderers wishing to participate in\n the site visit are asked to sign up via the electronic tendering system at least 3\n days before the meeting with indication of name of business and number of participants\n (max. 3 participants per tenderer).
The site visit is arranged in order to provide\n the tenderer with more details of the surroundings, the available space on the piers,\n the bearings, etc including inspection of the different types of bearings, before\n submission of tender.

When submitting the tender, however, the tenderer\n must base its tender on the written information stated in the tender documents. During\n the site visit, the tenderers may ask questions directly related to the site visit\n and of no material significance to the tender procedure. Any other questions must\n be put in writing. The Contracting Entity will draw up brief minutes of the site visit\n which will be published via the electronic tendering system.

Please note,\n the Contracting Entity has marked the field \"Successive reduction\" due to a technical\n error. The Contracting Entity will not short-list during the tender procedure, thus\n the Contracting Entity will only perform a selection in relation to the prequalification\n in case more than 3 (three) compliant request to participation is received.

The\n contract period is stated including all options. The contract period excl. options\n is approx. 42 months.

Checklist for submission of application: 1) Filled\n in ESPD (a. Filled in ESPD regarding other entities, b.

Kriterium: Referencer på specificerede arbejder

Beskrivelse: References
**
The candidate must submit the ESPD with a list of the five (5)\n most significant comparable works that the candidate has carried out in the latest\n 5 years before the expiry of the deadline for submission of application.

As\n a minimum requirement, the candidate must have documented experience within the last\n 5 years with two or more references that covers the following:

- Projects\n involving major refurbishment works of bridges over open water.
- Projects involving\n refurbishment or replacement of bridge bearings involving no less than 25 bearings.
-\n Projects involving lifting of bridge decks or similar.

Two of the references\n must each document two out of the three of the abovementioned bullets.

Only\n references relating to works carried out at the time of submitting application will\n be given importance in the evaluation of whether the minimum requirements regarding\n technical and professional capacity have been complied with, see above. Hence, in\n the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the supplies already performed at the\n time of application will be included in the evaluation of the reference.

Each\n reference is requested to include a brief description of the deliveries made. The\n description of the works should include 1) a clear description of the works, including\n details on execution, planning and logistics management, and 2) the candidate's role(s)\n in the performance of the works. The reference is furthermore requested to include\n the 3) financial value of the works (amount), the 4) date of delivery of the works\n and the name of the customer (recipient), and 5) the country where it was performed.

When\n indicating the date of the delivery of the works, the candidate is requested to indicate\n the date of commencement and finalisation of the works. If this is not possible, for\n example if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement,\n the candidate is asked to indicate how the date is specified.

No more than\n five (5) references may be stated, irrespective of whether the candidate is a single\n supplier, whether the candidate relies on the technical capacity of other entities\n or is a group of suppliers (e.g. a consortium). Where more than five (5) references\n are stated, only the most recent five (5) references will be taken into account. Any\n additional references will be disregarded. If it is not possible to decide which references\n are the most recent five (5) references, the references will be selected by drawing\n lots.

In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the technical capacity\n of other operators to fulfill the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making\n its/their technical capacity available to the candidate must sign a letter of commitment.\n The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender material, see “Prequalification\n Template A”.

If the candidate relies on the professional experience of other\n entities for the performance of specific parts of the works comprised by the contract,\n such specific parts of the works under the contract must be performed by the entity\n on which the candidate relies.

The ESPD serves as provisional documentation\n that the candidate fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of technical\n and professional ability, see above. No additional documentation of technical and\n professional capacity will be required from the candidate. However, the Contracting\n Entity reserves the right to contact the candidate or the customer stated in the reference\n for verification of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of\n the reference indicated.

The candidate may support the ESPD regarding the\n technical and professional ability with a reference checklist. Please find a template\n in the folder on EU Supply, see “Prequalification Template C - Reference Checklist”.

Beskrivelse: Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates.
**
The Contracting\n Entity will select three (3) candidates by applying the selection criterion, unless\n the Contracting Entity receives no more than three (3) compliant applications for\n participation.

The selection of candidates invited to tender will be based\n on an evaluation of comparable works covered by the contract based on the references\n provided in the ESPD, cf. above.

The relevance assessment will be made on\n the basis of the extent to which the references document experience in the delivery\n of comparable works. Emphasis will be put on (not prioritized):

- Projects\n involving major refurbishment works of major bridges with a length of 500 meters or\n more over open water.
- Projects involving refurbishment or replacement of bridge\n bearings involving more than 25 bearings.
- Projects involving lifting of bridge\n decks or similar with a weight of 2500 tons per lift or more.

In the evaluation\n of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries of comparable works,\n the extent to which the references, in total (incl. scale and volume) document relevant\n experience will be considered.

2 Procedure

2.1 Procedure

Title: Competitive procedure with negotiation concerning West Bridge Bearing Refurbishment\n (WBBR)

Description: The Contracting Entity calls for the tender for West Bridge Bearing Refurbishment\n (WBBR).

The project involves refurbishment of 188 structural bearings on\n the West Bridge, which is part of the Great Belt Link in Denmark. The work includes\n both the provision of newly manufactured bearings (approx. 44) and the renovation\n of the remaining bearings over a period of maximum 5 years.

The project\n involves two parallel concrete bridges – one for rail and one for road. The bridges\n have now been in service for well over 25 years and the service life of the PTFE sliding\n plates in the bearings are now close to the end of expected lifetime.

The\n project comprises of substantial work above open waters and includes the handling\n of structural bearings with a weight between 5 and 8 tonnes. The work also includes\n design and manufacturing of temporary structures necessary to carry out the refurbishments,\n according to a concept developed by the Contractor. The bearings needing renovation\n will have to be taken to land for refurbishment.

Pursuant to section 49 of\n the Danish Public Procurement Act, the Contracting Entity has further considered whether\n the Contract can be divided into other lots but has found it most appropriate not\n to make such a division.

It is the Contracting Entity's assessment that\n dividing the Contract into lots would result in disproportionate administrative burdens,\n both in relation to the synergies, the tender process and in relation to ongoing contract\n management, including the ongoing management of the tasks under the Contract.

Internal identifier: -

Type of procedure: Negotiated with prior publication of a call for competition / competitive with negotiation

The procedure is accelerated: no

Main features of the procedure: The tender procedure will be conducted as the competitive procedure with negotiation,\n see the Danish Public Procurement Act, section 61(1), para (1), point c. The reason\n for conducting the tender procedure as the competitive procedure with negotiation\n is due to the Contracts complexity, financial circumstances and risks involved.

The\n tender procedure is sequential and starts with the submission of the first Indicative\n Offer (INDO1). On the basis of the INDO1, the Contracting Entity will conduct negotiations\n with the tenderers in accordance with the guidelines set out below, cf. Section 7.\n During the negotiations, the Contracting Entity may ask the tenderers to submit additional\n Indicative Offers (INDO2, INDO3, and so on), and the Contracting Entity may publish\n changes of the tender material.

Following the conclusion of the negotiations,\n tenderers are expected to submit the Best and Final Offer (BAFO). The BAFOs will then\n be evaluated by the Contracting Entity using the award criteria set out in section\n 10. The Contract is then awarded to the most economically advantageous tender.

Please\n note, however, that certain aspects of the procedure, such as the number of INDOs,\n remain subject to change (as further described in the following sections).

The\n Contracting Entity may award the Contract on the basis of an initial tender (INDO1s,\n INDO2s, INDO3s etc.) and, hence, the tenderers cannot expect negotiation meetings\n to be conducted, see ITT section 7 (Negotiations). The tenderers must therefore ensure\n that the initial tenders are complete and that prices are set on the basis of the\n tender documents that form the basis of the tender submission. Matters listed in the\n tenderer's comments to the tender documents (Tender Submission Letter) are not considered\n to be part of the initial tender (but a proposal for negotiations) and the list is\n therefore not considered a reservation either.

The Contracting Entity will\n pay a participation fee of EUR 17,500,00 excl. VAT to each tenderer who participates\n in the negotiations and submits a compliant final tender (BAFO) or a compliant initial\n tender 2 etc. if the Contract is awarded based on such initial tender. However, a\n participation fee will not be paid to the tenderer who is awarded the Contract.

If\n the tender procedure is cancelled, the tenderers will receive no participation fee.\n However, the Contracting Entity may choose to pay a discretionary part of the participation\n fee depending on when in the process the tender procedure is cancelled. If the tender\n procedure is cancelled after receipt of compliant final tenders, a full participation\n fee will be paid.

2.1.4 General information

Additional information: Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via\n the electronic tendering system used by the Contracting Entity. For access to the\n procurement documents, the candidate must be registered or register as a user. If\n the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded\n version will apply.

All communication in connection with the tender procedure,\n including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering\n system. Reference is made to the Instructions to Tenderers (ITT) for information concerning\n questions and answers.

Interested operators are requested to keep updated\n via the electronic tendering system. If the candidate encounters problems with the\n system, please contact support by e-mail, dksupport@eu-supply.com, or telephone (+45)\n 70 20 80 14.

As its application, the candidate must submit an ESPD as preliminary\n documentation of the circumstances set out in section 148(1), paras (1)-(3) of the\n Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven), and section 137(1) para (1) of the Danish\n Public Procurement Act. It is not necessary for the candidate to sign the ESPD document.\n

For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted\n for each participating operator. Where the candidate is a group of operators, the\n ESPD document of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in\n question. The candidate heading the group and submitting the application is not required\n to sign its ESPD document. If the candidate relies on the capacities of other entities,\n an ESPD must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which it relies.

The\n candidate will be excluded from participation in the application procedure if the\n candidate is subject to the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 135,\n 136 and the voluntary grounds for exclusion set out in section 137(1) paragraph (1)\n and (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, unless the candidate has submitted sufficient\n documentation of its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act.

The candidate must also submit a letter of commitment in\n which the entity/entities on which the candidate relies has/have undertaken joint\n and several liability with the candidate if the candidate is awarded the Contract.\n The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender material, see “Prequalification\n Template A”.

Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the\n Contracting Entity intends to award the contract must provide documentation of the\n information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 151-152, cf. section 153 of\n the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to the documentation mentioned\n in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the applicant\n and tenderer may submit to the Contracting Entity a certificate of registration in\n an official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. The Contracting Entity only accepts\n certificates of registration in an official list from candidates and tenderers established\n in the country holding the official list.

It should be noted that each candidate\n may only submit one application for prequalification.

The Contracting Entity\n will select the number of candidates by applying the selection criteria stated in\n this contract notice, unless the Contracting Entity receives no more than the stated\n number of compliant requests for participation.

The Contracting Entity may\n use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act in the event\n that applications do not comply with the requirements of the procurement documents.

Pursuant\n to the Danish Investment Screening Act (https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/1256)\n economic operators i) that are domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) are controlled\n by or subject to significant influence as defined in the Act from an entity domiciled\n in or a national of a country outside the EU or EFTA must apply to the Danish Business\n Authority for an authorisation to enter into a “special financial agreement” within\n a particularly sensitive sector or activity. The Contracting Entity has assessed that\n the conclusion of the contract may be subject to the authorisation requirement. The\n supplier should clarify whether the suppliers conclusion of the Contract will be subject\n to such requirement. Further details are available at https://businessindenmark.virk.dk/guidance/erst-activities-covered-by-the-investment-screening-act/Special-financial-agreements/.

Attention\n is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as later amended which applies\n for the application procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award\n of contracts to Russian companies and Russian controlled companies etc. (reference\n is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the exact delimitation of the actors covered\n by the prohibition). The Contracting Entity may at any time during the application\n process require that the economic suppliers prove that they are not covered by the\n prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or documentation\n regarding the economic suppliers’ and any subcontractors’ place of establishment and\n ownership.

An information meeting will be held virtually on 18 December at\n 13:00-14:00 PM. The Candidates is asked to inform whether the candidate will participate\n in the information meeting. The information must be submitted via the electronic tendering\n system preferably no later than 15 December 2025, 12:00 PM and a link will be sent\n to the Candidates informed e-mail. At the meeting, the Contracting Entity will explain\n the background and purpose of the Project for which the Candidates are invited to\n apply. Furthermore, the Contracting Entity will provide more general information about\n the tender documents.

A site visit of of the surroundings, the available\n space on the piers, the bearings, etc including inspection of the different types\n of bearings, will be possible. The site visit will take place on 12 March 2026, 9:00-13.00\n AM, at Storebæltsvej 70, 4220 Korsør, Denmark. Tenderers wishing to participate in\n the site visit are asked to sign up via the electronic tendering system at least 3\n days before the meeting with indication of name of business and number of participants\n (max. 3 participants per tenderer).
The site visit is arranged in order to provide\n the tenderer with more details of the surroundings, the available space on the piers,\n the bearings, etc including inspection of the different types of bearings, before\n submission of tender.

When submitting the tender, however, the tenderer\n must base its tender on the written information stated in the tender documents. During\n the site visit, the tenderers may ask questions directly related to the site visit\n and of no material significance to the tender procedure. Any other questions must\n be put in writing. The Contracting Entity will draw up brief minutes of the site visit\n which will be published via the electronic tendering system.

Please note,\n the Contracting Entity has marked the field \"Successive reduction\" due to a technical\n error. The Contracting Entity will not short-list during the tender procedure, thus\n the Contracting Entity will only perform a selection in relation to the prequalification\n in case more than 3 (three) compliant request to participation is received.

The\n contract period is stated including all options. The contract period excl. options\n is approx. 42 months.

Checklist for submission of application: 1) Filled\n in ESPD (a. Filled in ESPD regarding other entities, b.

As a minimum requirement, a total annual turnover\n of at least EUR 33,5 million is required in each of the three (3) latest annual reports/financial\n statements available.

If the candidate relies on the capacities of other\n entities, the turnover is to be calculated as the total turnover of the candidate\n and such other entities in each of the three latest annual reports/financial statements\n available. For groups of suppliers (e.g. a consortium), the turnover is calculated\n as the total turnover of the suppliers in each of the three latest annual reports/financial\n statements available. The information is to be stated in section IV.B of the ESPD.

In\n this procedure, the candidate may rely on the economic and financial capacity of other\n operators to fulfill the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their\n economic and financial capacity available to the candidate must sign a letter of commitment.\n The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender material, see “Prequalification\n Template A”.

If the candidate relies on the economic and financial capacity\n of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of minimum requirements, see above,\n the candidate and the entities in question will be required by the Contracting Entity\n to undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the Contract, see\n “Prequalification Template A”.

Criterion: References on specified works

Description: References
**
The candidate must submit the ESPD with a list of the five (5)\n most significant comparable works that the candidate has carried out in the latest\n 5 years before the expiry of the deadline for submission of application.

As\n a minimum requirement, the candidate must have documented experience within the last\n 5 years with two or more references that covers the following:

- Projects\n involving major refurbishment works of bridges over open water.
- Projects involving\n refurbishment or replacement of bridge bearings involving no less than 25 bearings.
-\n Projects involving lifting of bridge decks or similar.

Two of the references\n must each document two out of the three of the abovementioned bullets.

Only\n references relating to works carried out at the time of submitting application will\n be given importance in the evaluation of whether the minimum requirements regarding\n technical and professional capacity have been complied with, see above. Hence, in\n the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the supplies already performed at the\n time of application will be included in the evaluation of the reference.

Each\n reference is requested to include a brief description of the deliveries made. The\n description of the works should include 1) a clear description of the works, including\n details on execution, planning and logistics management, and 2) the candidate's role(s)\n in the performance of the works. The reference is furthermore requested to include\n the 3) financial value of the works (amount), the 4) date of delivery of the works\n and the name of the customer (recipient), and 5) the country where it was performed.

When\n indicating the date of the delivery of the works, the candidate is requested to indicate\n the date of commencement and finalisation of the works. If this is not possible, for\n example if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement,\n the candidate is asked to indicate how the date is specified.

No more than\n five (5) references may be stated, irrespective of whether the candidate is a single\n supplier, whether the candidate relies on the technical capacity of other entities\n or is a group of suppliers (e.g. a consortium). Where more than five (5) references\n are stated, only the most recent five (5) references will be taken into account. Any\n additional references will be disregarded. If it is not possible to decide which references\n are the most recent five (5) references, the references will be selected by drawing\n lots.

In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the technical capacity\n of other operators to fulfill the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making\n its/their technical capacity available to the candidate must sign a letter of commitment.\n The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender material, see “Prequalification\n Template A”.

If the candidate relies on the professional experience of other\n entities for the performance of specific parts of the works comprised by the contract,\n such specific parts of the works under the contract must be performed by the entity\n on which the candidate relies.

The ESPD serves as provisional documentation\n that the candidate fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of technical\n and professional ability, see above. No additional documentation of technical and\n professional capacity will be required from the candidate. However, the Contracting\n Entity reserves the right to contact the candidate or the customer stated in the reference\n for verification of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of\n the reference indicated.

The candidate may support the ESPD regarding the\n technical and professional ability with a reference checklist. Please find a template\n in the folder on EU Supply, see “Prequalification Template C - Reference Checklist”.

Criterion: References on specified works

Description: Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates.
**
The Contracting\n Entity will select three (3) candidates by applying the selection criterion, unless\n the Contracting Entity receives no more than three (3) compliant applications for\n participation.

The selection of candidates invited to tender will be based\n on an evaluation of comparable works covered by the contract based on the references\n provided in the ESPD, cf. above.

The relevance assessment will be made on\n the basis of the extent to which the references document experience in the delivery\n of comparable works. Emphasis will be put on (not prioritized):

- Projects\n involving major refurbishment works of major bridges with a length of 500 meters or\n more over open water.
- Projects involving refurbishment or replacement of bridge\n bearings involving more than 25 bearings.
- Projects involving lifting of bridge\n decks or similar with a weight of 2500 tons per lift or more.

In the evaluation\n of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries of comparable works,\n the extent to which the references, in total (incl. scale and volume) document relevant\n experience will be considered.

The criteria will be used to select the candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure

Information about the second stage of a two-stage procedure:

Minimum number of candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure: 3

Maximum number of candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure: 3

The procedure will take place in successive stages. At each stage, some participants may be eliminated
