To address this increased demand before the full integration\n of new rolling stock from ongoing procurements, DSB foresees a temporary need to supplement\n its existing fleet of locomotives in commercial operations from approximately December\n 2026 until the Q2 2030 as outlined in the tender material (Appendix 1 – Price Sheet).\n
DSB therefore plans to lease electric locomotives to support operations\n with DSB litra EC and other coach litras over three phases: ramp-up, peak, and ramp-down.\n In the ramp-up phase, from approximately December 2026 to November 2027, it is expected\n that 6 locomotives will be needed. During the peak phase, from approximately December\n 2027 to April 2029, it is expected that 10-12 locomotives will be needed to manage\n increased operational demand. In the ramp-down phase, from approximately May 2029\n to April 2030, it is expected that 6-8 locomotives will be needed as new rolling stock\n will be phased in and operations with the leased locomotives will scale down. A detailed\n description of the planned demand is set out in the tender material (Appendix 1 –\n Price Sheet).
To minimize complexity in its daily operations, DSB puts out\n to tender also the maintenance of said locomotives in the lease as a full-service\n agreement including corrective and preventive maintenance, provision of all spares\n etc., where the lessor is responsible for providing locomotives according to required\n availability.
The setup should be as follows:
Locomotives:
1. The\n locomotives should be of type Siemens AC Vectron B18.
2. The locomotives should\n be capable of performing push-pull operation, from either end of the locomotive coach\n formation.
3. The locomotives should be capable of performing double traction\n as push and pull operation, with a locomotive placed at each end of the coaches coupled\n to the coaches mechanically and electronically via the WTB line.
4. The locomotives\n should be manufactured within the last five years.
5. It should be possible from\n the locomotive cab to operate the full functionality, as defined by the ÖBB Fernsteuerkonzept\n (see sec 1.5), of the locomotive in the other end and the coaches.
6. Any supplementary\n rail activities necessary to carry out passenger operation should be possible, for\n instance empty train movement to other locations.
7. The locomotives should be\n capable of performing operation coexisting with other electric vehicles.
Regional\n Train and Intercity Train Services:
8. The locomotives should be able to perform\n passenger operation on the electrified lines mentioned in the tender material (Sub-Appendix\n 03.02 - Operational Profile).
9. Lines illustrating Intercity and Regional traffic\n are listed in the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02 - Operational Profile). For\n information DSB expected routes and journey times are mentioned in the tender material\n (Sub-Appendix 03.03 - Routes and Driving Timings).
Compatible with Infrastructure
10.\n The locomotives should be able to perform passenger operation on all Banedanmark’s\n electrified infrastructure (excluding S-bane).
11. The locomotives should be\n able to perform passenger operation on any additional electrical lines added to Banedanmark\n network (provided that this is TSI compliant or identical to already existing Banedanmark\n equipment). For lines reference is made to the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02\n - Operational Profile).
Maintenance:
12. Lease should include maintenance\n as a full service agreement including preventive and corrective maintenance, provision\n of all spares etc. Documentation should be made available to DSB as applicable, including\n relevant data from the Maintenance Management System (MSS)
13. It is anticipated\n that the Lessor will provide the maintenance facility to maintain the locomotives.\n The maintenance facility should be located in Denmark or in the Malmö region (Sweden).\n
14. Maintenance shall take place in a maintenance setup which is authorized according\n to ECM rules
15. The lessor or a subcontractor to the lessor should hold all ECM\n roles 1-4.
16. It is expected that DSB will deliver the locomotives for maintenance\n to the handover point at the maintenance facility. In the event the provided maintenance\n facility is located in the Malmö region, DSB will use a subcontractor of DSB for transporting\n the locomotives between the handover point at the Maintenance facility and DSB’s operational\n area in Denmark.\n Identifikator for proceduren: 08bb36f4-ece5-41a8-afd7-cf32daeae741\n \n Udbudsprocedure: Offentligt udbud\n Proceduren er en hasteprocedure: nej\n 2.1.1 FormålKontraktens hovedformål: Varer\n Supplerende kontrakttype: Tjenesteydelser\n Primær klassifikation (cpv): 34600000 Lokomotiver og motorvogne samt rullende materiel og tilhørende dele\n Supplerende klassifikation (cpv): 34620000 Rullende materiel\n Supplerende klassifikation (cpv): 50222000 Reparation og vedligeholdelse af rullende materiel\n \n 2.1.2 Udførelsessted\n Hvor som helst i det pågældende land\n \n 2.1.3 VærdiAnslået værdi eksklusiv moms: 30.000.000 Euro\n \n 2.1.4 Generelle oplysningerYderligere oplysninger: Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via\n the electronic tendering system used by DSB.

All\n communication in connection with the tender procedure, including questions and answers,\n must take place through the electronic tendering system. Reference is made to the\n tender conditions for information concerning questions and answers.
Interested\n operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the\n tenderer encounters problems with the system, please contact support by submitting\n a ticket at the following link https://contact.mercell.com/?lang=en or by calling\n (+45) 70 20 80 14.
The tenderer must submit an ESPD with the tender 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 (2) of the Danish\n Public Procurement Act. It is not necessary for the tenderer to sign the ESPD document.\n For groups of operators (e.g., a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for\n each participating operator. Where the tenderer is a group of operators, the ESPD\n document of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in question.\n The tenderer heading the group and submitting the tender is not required to sign its\n ESPD document. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, an ESPD\n must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which the tenderer relies.
Before\n the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom DSB intends to award the agreement\n must provide documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections\n 151-152, cf. section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to\n the documentation mentioned in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, the tenderer may submit to DSB a certificate of registration in an\n official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. DSB only accepts certificates\n of registration in an official list from tenderers established in the country holding\n the official list.
DSB may use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish\n Public Procurement Act in the event that tenders do not comply with the formal requirements\n of the tender material.
Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU)\n No 833/2014 as amended which applies to the tender procedure. The provision contains\n a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled\n companies, etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the precise definition\n of the operators subject to the prohibition). DSB reserves the right at any time during\n the tender process to require documentation from the economic operators proving that\n they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to\n this effect and/or documentation of the place of establishment and ownership of the\n economic operators and any subcontractors.
Pursuant to the Danish Investment\n Screening Act (https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/1256) economic operators\n i) that are domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) are controlled by or subject\n to significant influence as defined in the Act from an entity domiciled in or a national\n of a country outside the EU or EFTA must apply to the Danish Business Authority for\n an authorisation to enter into a “special financial agreement” within a particularly\n sensitive sector or activity. DSB has assessed that the conclusion of the contract\n may be subject to the authorisation requirement. The tenderer should clarify whether\n the tenderer’s conclusion of the contract will be subject to such requirement. Further\n details are available at https://businessindenmark.virk.dk/guidance/erst-activities-covered-by-the-investment-screening-act/Special-financialagreements/.\n
It should be noted that the indicated term of the contract will commence\n on signature of the agreement.
It should be noted that the amount is an estimate\n of the expected contract price for the entire term of the agreement, including the\n price of the option for extension.
A technical dialogue has been conducted\n prior to this call for tenders.
The agreement is not divided into lots, as\n DSB considers that award of an agreement to be the most efficient due to the nature\n of the agreement, and as a division into lots would entail a risk in relation to the\n performance of the agreement.
More than one agreement may be awarded if\n a single tenderer is unable to deliver the full number of locomotives required by\n DSB. Reference is made to the Tender Conditions, section 8.1 and to Appendix A – Award\n Criteria, which sets out the procedure applicable in this situation.\n \n \n Ministerial Order on procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport\n and postal services sectors (Ministerial Order No. 1078 of 29 June 2022) - The Utilities Directive (Directive 2014/25/EU) is implemented in Danish law by Ministerial\n Order on procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal\n services sectors (Ministerial Order No. 1078 of 29 June 2022), which also contains\n supplementary provisions.\n \n 2.1.6 UdelukkelsesgrundeKilder til grundlag for udelukkelse: Bekendtgørelse\n Korruption: See section 135(1), para (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Svig: See section 135(1), para (3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Hvidvaskning af penge eller finansiering af terrorisme: See section 135(1), para (5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Deltagelse i en kriminel organisation: See section 135(1), para (1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Terrorhandlinger eller strafbare handlinger med forbindelse til terroraktivitet: See section 135(1), para (4) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Børnearbejde og andre former for menneskehandel: See section 135(1), para (6) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Alvorlige forsømmelser i forbindelse med udøvelsen af erhvervet: See section 136, para (4) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Afgivelse af urigtige oplysninger, tilbageholdelse af oplysninger, ude af stand til at fremlægge de dokumenter, der anmodes om, eller indhentede fortrolige oplysninger i forbindelse med denne procedure: See section 136, para (3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Interessekonflikt som følge af deltagelse i udbudsproceduren: See section 136, para (1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Direkte eller indirekte involvering i forberedelsen af denne udbudsprocedure: See section 136, para (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Tilsidesættelse af forpligtelser vedrørende betaling af bidrag til sociale sikringsordninger: See section 135(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Tilsidesættelse af forpligtelser vedrørende betaling af skatter og afgifter: See section 135(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Erhvervsvirksomheden er indstillet: See section 137(1), para (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Konkurs: See section 137(1), para (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Tvangsakkord uden for konkurs: See section 137(1), para (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Insolvens: See section 137(1), para (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n Aktiver, der administreres af en kurator: See section 137(1), para (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n En situation, der svarer til konkurs i henhold til national ret: See section 137(1), para (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.\n \n \n \n 5 Delkontrakt5.1 Delkontrakt: LOT-0000Titel: Lease of locomotives\n Beskrivelse: DSB is experiencing significant growth in passenger numbers, particularly in the regional\n and long-distance segments.

Only references\n relating to supplies carried out at the time of submission of tender will be given\n importance in the evaluation of whether the requirements regarding technical and professional\n capacity have been complied with, see below. Hence, in the case of an ongoing task,\n only the part of the supplies already performed at the time of submission of tender\n will be included in the evaluation of the reference.
Each reference is requested\n to include a brief description of the deliveries made. The description of the delivery\n should include a clear description of the supplies to which the delivery relates (locomotive/type/name\n and number of locomotives), and the tenderer's role(s) in the performance of the delivery.\n The reference is furthermore requested to include the financial value of the delivery\n (amount), the date of delivery and the name of the customer (recipient).
When\n indicating the date of the delivery, the tenderer is requested to indicate the date\n of commencement and finalisation of the delivery. If this is not possible, for example\n if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement, the\n tenderer is asked to indicate how the date is specified.
In this procedure,\n the tenderer may rely on the technical capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability\n requirements. The operator(s) making its/their technical capacity available to the\n tenderer must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender conditions, section\n 3. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender conditions.
The ESPD\n serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the requirements in\n respect of technical and professional capacity.
Before the award decision\n is made, the tenderer to whom DSB intends to award the contract must submit documentation\n that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate.
No additional documentation\n of technical and professional capacity will be required from the tenderer. However,\n DSB reserves the right to contact the Tenderer or the customers stated in the reference\n for verification of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of\n the reference indicated.
Minimum requirement:
The tenderer must\n document one or more references of deliveries within the past three years that combined\n includes lease of 25 electric locomotives for operation.\n \n \n 5.1.10 TildelingskriterierKriterium:\n Beskrivelse: Reference is made to Appendix A -Award Criteria.\n Kategori for tildelingskriteriet vægt: Vægtning (procentdel, præcis)Tildelingskriterium talværdi: 60\n \n \n Kriterium:\n Beskrivelse: Reference is made to Appendix A -Award Criteria.\n Kategori for tildelingskriteriet vægt: Vægtning (procentdel, præcis)Tildelingskriterium talværdi: 40\n \n \n \n 5.1.11 TilbudsdokumenterFrist for anmodning om yderligere oplysninger: 06-07-2026 11:00 +00:00\n Adresse på udbudsdokumenterne: https://eu.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=456048&TID=200416708&B=\n \n 5.1.12 TilbudsvilkårVilkår for indgivelse:Elektronisk indgivelse: Påkrævet\n Indgivelsesadresse: https://eu.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=456048&TID=200416708&B=\n Sprog, som tilbud og ansøgninger om deltagelse kan indgives på: engelsk\n Elektronisk katalog: Ikke tilladt\n Alternative tilbud: Ikke tilladt\n Tilbudsgivere kan indgive mere end ét tilbud: Ikke tilladt\n Frist for modtagelse af tilbud: 20-07-2026 11:00 +00:00\n Varighed, hvor tilbuddet skal forblive gyldigt: 2 Måned\n \n Oplysninger om offentlig iværksættelse:Åbningsdato: 20-07-2026 11:00 +00:00\n Sted: The electronic tendering system.\n Yderligere oplysninger: The tenders will be opened in the electronic tendering system.

To address this increased demand before the full integration\n of new rolling stock from ongoing procurements, DSB foresees a temporary need to supplement\n its existing fleet of locomotives in commercial operations from approximately December\n 2026 until the Q2 2030 as outlined in the tender material (Appendix 1 – Price Sheet).\n
DSB therefore plans to lease electric locomotives to support operations\n with DSB litra EC and other coach litras over three phases: ramp-up, peak, and ramp-down.\n In the ramp-up phase, from approximately December 2026 to November 2027, it is expected\n that 6 locomotives will be needed. During the peak phase, from approximately December\n 2027 to April 2029, it is expected that 10-12 locomotives will be needed to manage\n increased operational demand. In the ramp-down phase, from approximately May 2029\n to April 2030, it is expected that 6-8 locomotives will be needed as new rolling stock\n will be phased in and operations with the leased locomotives will scale down. A detailed\n description of the planned demand is set out in the tender material (Appendix 1 –\n Price Sheet).
To minimize complexity in its daily operations, DSB puts out\n to tender also the maintenance of said locomotives in the lease as a full-service\n agreement including corrective and preventive maintenance, provision of all spares\n etc., where the lessor is responsible for providing locomotives according to required\n availability.
The setup should be as follows:
Locomotives:
1. The\n locomotives should be of type Siemens AC Vectron B18.
2. The locomotives should\n be capable of performing push-pull operation, from either end of the locomotive coach\n formation.
3. The locomotives should be capable of performing double traction\n as push and pull operation, with a locomotive placed at each end of the coaches coupled\n to the coaches mechanically and electronically via the WTB line.
4. The locomotives\n should be manufactured within the last five years.
5. It should be possible from\n the locomotive cab to operate the full functionality, as defined by the ÖBB Fernsteuerkonzept\n (see sec 1.5), of the locomotive in the other end and the coaches.
6. Any supplementary\n rail activities necessary to carry out passenger operation should be possible, for\n instance empty train movement to other locations.
7. The locomotives should be\n capable of performing operation coexisting with other electric vehicles.
Regional\n Train and Intercity Train Services:
8. The locomotives should be able to perform\n passenger operation on the electrified lines mentioned in the tender material (Sub-Appendix\n 03.02 - Operational Profile).
9. Lines illustrating Intercity and Regional traffic\n are listed in the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02 - Operational Profile). For\n information DSB expected routes and journey times are mentioned in the tender material\n (Sub-Appendix 03.03 - Routes and Driving Timings).
Compatible with Infrastructure
10.\n The locomotives should be able to perform passenger operation on all Banedanmark’s\n electrified infrastructure (excluding S-bane).
11. The locomotives should be\n able to perform passenger operation on any additional electrical lines added to Banedanmark\n network (provided that this is TSI compliant or identical to already existing Banedanmark\n equipment). For lines reference is made to the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02\n - Operational Profile).
Maintenance:
12. Lease should include maintenance\n as a full service agreement including preventive and corrective maintenance, provision\n of all spares etc. Documentation should be made available to DSB as applicable, including\n relevant data from the Maintenance Management System (MSS)
13. It is anticipated\n that the Lessor will provide the maintenance facility to maintain the locomotives.\n The maintenance facility should be located in Denmark or in the Malmö region (Sweden).\n
14. Maintenance shall take place in a maintenance setup which is authorized according\n to ECM rules
15. The lessor or a subcontractor to the lessor should hold all ECM\n roles 1-4.
16. It is expected that DSB will deliver the locomotives for maintenance\n to the handover point at the maintenance facility. In the event the provided maintenance\n facility is located in the Malmö region, DSB will use a subcontractor of DSB for transporting\n the locomotives between the handover point at the Maintenance facility and DSB’s operational\n area in Denmark.\n Procedure identifier: 08bb36f4-ece5-41a8-afd7-cf32daeae741\n \n \n The procedure is accelerated: no\n 2.1.1 PurposeMain nature of the contract: Supplies\n Additional nature of the contract: Services\n Main classification (cpv): 34600000 Railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts\n Additional classification (cpv): 34620000 Rolling stock\n Additional classification (cpv): 50222000 Repair and maintenance services of rolling stock\n \n 2.1.2 Place of performance\n Anywhere in the given country\n \n 2.1.3 ValueEstimated value excluding VAT: 30.000.000 Euro\n \n 2.1.4 General informationAdditional information: Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via\n the electronic tendering system used by DSB.

All\n communication in connection with the tender procedure, including questions and answers,\n must take place through the electronic tendering system. Reference is made to the\n tender conditions for information concerning questions and answers.
Interested\n operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the\n tenderer encounters problems with the system, please contact support by submitting\n a ticket at the following link https://contact.mercell.com/?lang=en or by calling\n (+45) 70 20 80 14.
The tenderer must submit an ESPD with the tender 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 (2) of the Danish\n Public Procurement Act. It is not necessary for the tenderer to sign the ESPD document.\n For groups of operators (e.g., a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for\n each participating operator. Where the tenderer is a group of operators, the ESPD\n document of each participant in the group must be signed by the participant in question.\n The tenderer heading the group and submitting the tender is not required to sign its\n ESPD document. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, an ESPD\n must be submitted for and signed by each of the entities on which the tenderer relies.
Before\n the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom DSB intends to award the agreement\n must provide documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections\n 151-152, cf. section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to\n the documentation mentioned in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, the tenderer may submit to DSB a certificate of registration in an\n official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. DSB only accepts certificates\n of registration in an official list from tenderers established in the country holding\n the official list.
DSB may use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish\n Public Procurement Act in the event that tenders do not comply with the formal requirements\n of the tender material.
Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU)\n No 833/2014 as amended which applies to the tender procedure. The provision contains\n a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled\n companies, etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the precise definition\n of the operators subject to the prohibition). DSB reserves the right at any time during\n the tender process to require documentation from the economic operators proving that\n they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring a declaration to\n this effect and/or documentation of the place of establishment and ownership of the\n economic operators and any subcontractors.
Pursuant to the Danish Investment\n Screening Act (https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/1256) economic operators\n i) that are domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) are controlled by or subject\n to significant influence as defined in the Act from an entity domiciled in or a national\n of a country outside the EU or EFTA must apply to the Danish Business Authority for\n an authorisation to enter into a “special financial agreement” within a particularly\n sensitive sector or activity. DSB has assessed that the conclusion of the contract\n may be subject to the authorisation requirement. The tenderer should clarify whether\n the tenderer’s conclusion of the contract will be subject to such requirement. Further\n details are available at https://businessindenmark.virk.dk/guidance/erst-activities-covered-by-the-investment-screening-act/Special-financialagreements/.\n
It should be noted that the indicated term of the contract will commence\n on signature of the agreement.
It should be noted that the amount is an estimate\n of the expected contract price for the entire term of the agreement, including the\n price of the option for extension.
A technical dialogue has been conducted\n prior to this call for tenders.
The agreement is not divided into lots, as\n DSB considers that award of an agreement to be the most efficient due to the nature\n of the agreement, and as a division into lots would entail a risk in relation to the\n performance of the agreement.
More than one agreement may be awarded if\n a single tenderer is unable to deliver the full number of locomotives required by\n DSB.

Only references\n relating to supplies carried out at the time of submission of tender will be given\n importance in the evaluation of whether the requirements regarding technical and professional\n capacity have been complied with, see below. Hence, in the case of an ongoing task,\n only the part of the supplies already performed at the time of submission of tender\n will be included in the evaluation of the reference.
Each reference is requested\n to include a brief description of the deliveries made. The description of the delivery\n should include a clear description of the supplies to which the delivery relates (locomotive/type/name\n and number of locomotives), and the tenderer's role(s) in the performance of the delivery.\n The reference is furthermore requested to include the financial value of the delivery\n (amount), the date of delivery and the name of the customer (recipient).
When\n indicating the date of the delivery, the tenderer is requested to indicate the date\n of commencement and finalisation of the delivery. If this is not possible, for example\n if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement, the\n tenderer is asked to indicate how the date is specified.
In this procedure,\n the tenderer may rely on the technical capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability\n requirements. The operator(s) making its/their technical capacity available to the\n tenderer must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender conditions, section\n 3. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender conditions.
The ESPD\n serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the requirements in\n respect of technical and professional capacity.
Before the award decision\n is made, the tenderer to whom DSB intends to award the contract must submit documentation\n that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate.
No additional documentation\n of technical and professional capacity will be required from the tenderer. However,\n DSB reserves the right to contact the Tenderer or the customers stated in the reference\n for verification of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of\n the reference indicated.
Minimum requirement:
The tenderer must\n document one or more references of deliveries within the past three years that combined\n includes lease of 25 electric locomotives for operation.\n \n \n 5.1.10 Award criteriaCriterion:\n Description: Reference is made to Appendix A -Award Criteria.\n Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)Award criterion number: 60\n \n \n Criterion:\n Description: Reference is made to Appendix A -Award Criteria.\n Category of award weight criterion: Weight (percentage, exact)Award criterion number: 40\n \n \n \n 5.1.11 Procurement documentsDeadline for requesting additional information: 06-07-2026 11:00 +00:00\n Address of the procurement documents: https://eu.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=456048&TID=200416708&B=\n \n 5.1.12 Terms of procurementTerms of submission:Electronic submission: Required\n Address for submission: https://eu.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=456048&TID=200416708&B=\n Languages in which tenders or requests to participate may be submitted: English\n Electronic catalogue: Not allowed\n \n Tenderers may submit more than one tender: Not allowed\n Deadline for receipt of tenders: 20-07-2026 11:00 +00:00\n Duration during which the tender must remain valid: 2 Month\n \n Information about public opening:Opening date: 20-07-2026 11:00 +00:00\n Place: The electronic tendering system.\n Additional information: The tenders will be opened in the electronic tendering system.

To address this increased demand before the full integration of new rolling stock from ongoing procurements, DSB foresees a temporary need to supplement its existing fleet of locomotives in commercial operations from approximately December 2026 until the Q2 2030 as outlined in the tender material (Appendix 1 – Price Sheet). \n\nDSB therefore plans to lease electric locomotives to support operations with DSB litra EC and other coach litras over three phases: ramp-up, peak, and ramp-down. In the ramp-up phase, from approximately December 2026 to November 2027, it is expected that 6 locomotives will be needed. During the peak phase, from approximately December 2027 to April 2029, it is expected that 10-12 locomotives will be needed to manage increased operational demand. In the ramp-down phase, from approximately May 2029 to April 2030, it is expected that 6-8 locomotives will be needed as new rolling stock will be phased in and operations with the leased locomotives will scale down. A detailed description of the planned demand is set out in the tender material (Appendix 1 – Price Sheet).\n\nTo minimize complexity in its daily operations, DSB puts out to tender also the maintenance of said locomotives in the lease as a full-service agreement including corrective and preventive maintenance, provision of all spares etc., where the lessor is responsible for providing locomotives according to required availability. \n\nThe setup should be as follows:\nLocomotives:\n1. The locomotives should be of type Siemens AC Vectron B18.\n2. The locomotives should be capable of performing push-pull operation, from either end of the locomotive coach formation. \n3. The locomotives should be capable of performing double traction as push and pull operation, with a locomotive placed at each end of the coaches coupled to the coaches mechanically and electronically via the WTB line.\n4. The locomotives should be manufactured within the last five years.\n5. It should be possible from the locomotive cab to operate the full functionality, as defined by the ÖBB Fernsteuerkonzept (see sec 1.5), of the locomotive in the other end and the coaches.\n6. Any supplementary rail activities necessary to carry out passenger operation should be possible, for instance empty train movement to other locations.\n7. The locomotives should be capable of performing operation coexisting with other electric vehicles.\n\nRegional Train and Intercity Train Services:\n8. The locomotives should be able to perform passenger operation on the electrified lines mentioned in the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02 - Operational Profile).\n9. Lines illustrating Intercity and Regional traffic are listed in the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02 - Operational Profile). For information DSB expected routes and journey times are mentioned in the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.03 - Routes and Driving Timings).\n\nCompatible with Infrastructure\n10. The locomotives should be able to perform passenger operation on all Banedanmark’s electrified infrastructure (excluding S-bane). \n11. The locomotives should be able to perform passenger operation on any additional electrical lines added to Banedanmark network (provided that this is TSI compliant or identical to already existing Banedanmark equipment). For lines reference is made to the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02 - Operational Profile).\n\nMaintenance: \n12.

It is expected that DSB will deliver the locomotives for maintenance to the handover point at the maintenance facility. In the event the provided maintenance facility is located in the Malmö region, DSB will use a subcontractor of DSB for transporting the locomotives between the handover point at the Maintenance facility and DSB’s operational area in Denmark.","bkSubTypeKode":"17","bkSubType":"Udbudsbekendtgørelse – sektordirektivet, standardordningen","erAendring":false},"indholdsType":"HENTET_FRA_TED","sekundaereOrdregivere":[],"udforelsesstedNutsCode":[],"udforelsesstedSubLand":[],"udforelsesstedLand":["Danmark"],"udforelsesstedBy":[],"tilbudsfrister":["2026-07-20T11:00:00Z"],"intressentfrister":[],"deltagelsefrister":[],"svarfrister":[],"antalParts":0,"antalLots":1,"udbudsDokumenter":["https://eu.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=456048&TID=200416708&B="]},"opsummeringEN":{"card":{"titel":"Lease of locomotives","ordregiver":"DSB","ordregiverId":"25 05 00 53 ","ordregiverIdDatavasket":"25050053","publiceringsdato":"2026-06-10+02:00","cpvKode":"34600000","cpvTitel":"Railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts","formulartype":"Competition","formulartypeKode":"competition","tidsfrister":["2026-07-20T11:00:00Z"],"alleOrdregivere":["DSB"],"anslaaetVaerdi":"30000000","anslaaetVaerdiValuta":"EUR","beskrivelse":"DSB is experiencing significant growth in passenger numbers, particularly in the regional and long-distance segments.
