ESPD and documentation
The\n applicant must submit an ESPD as their application, serving as preliminary evidence\n for the matters mentioned in Section 148(1)(1-3) of the Danish Public Procurement\n Act. It is not necessary for the applicant to sign their ESPD document.
In the\n case of a group of companies (e.g., a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted\n for each participating economic operator. If the applicant is a group of companies,\n each participant's ESPD document must be signed by the respective participant. However,\n it is not necessary for the lead applicant submitting the application to sign their\n ESPD document.
If the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities, an\n ESPD must be submitted for each entity on which the applicant relies, and the ESPD\n document must be signed by the supporting entity.
Before the award decision, the\n tenderer to whom the Contracting Entity intends to award the contract must provide\n documentation for the information submitted in the ESPD in accordance with Sections\n 151-152 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. Section 153.
As an alternative\n to the documentation mentioned in Sections 153-155, 157, and 158 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, the applicant and tenderer may submit to the Contracting Entity a\n certificate of registration on an official list of approved economic operators, cf.\n Section 156, issued by the competent authority. The Contracting Entity can only accept\n a certificate of registration on an official list from applicants and tenderers established\n in the country maintaining the official list.

Submission of a Letter of Support\n and Consortium Declaration:
The applicant must submit a letter of support as part\n of their application, in which the entity or entities on which the applicant relies\n declare joint and several liability with the applicant, should the applicant be awarded\n the contract. A template for this declaration is provided as an annex to the tender\n specifications.
If the applicant is a consortium of economic operators, a consortium\n declaration must be submitted as part of the application. In this declaration, each\n participant in the consortium must declare joint and several liability for the performance\n of the contract and appoint one economic operator authorized to represent the consortium.\n A template for this declaration is also provided as an annex to the tender specifications.

Selection\n of Applicants:
The Contracting Entity will select the specified number of applicants\n in accordance with the selection criteria outlined in this tender notice, unless fewer\n compliant applications are received than the specified number.

Estimated\n Value, Single Contract:
It should be noted that the amount represents an estimate\n of the expected total contract value for the entire contract duration, including the\n price of all options. The estimate is based on the average of the prices received\n during the market dialogue conducted in December 2024.

Duration of the Agreement:
The\n Term of this Agreement is from the Parties' signing of this Agreement until the Deliverables\n are delivered.

Options for additional deliveries
DSB can invoke additional\n options. The following applies to the options:
Option 1: DSB shall invoke Option\n 1 no later than 1 year after DSB’s written acceptance of Milestone 6. After this time,\n Option 1 can no longer be invoked and shall become null and void.
Option 2: DSB\n shall invoke Option 2 no later than 1 year after DSB’s written acceptance of Milestone\n 7. After this time, Option 2 can no longer be invoked and shall become null and void.
The\n options are independent of each other. If DSB does not invoke Option 1, DSB does not\n lose the right to invoke Option 2. The delivery of Option 1 and Option 2 shall be\n governed by this Agreement including any and all appendices.

Number of Applications\n for Prequalification:
It should be noted that each applicant may only submit one\n application for prequalification.

Please see the tender specifications Appendix\n B - Additional Information regarding requirement categorization of the contract documents.\n All requirements that are not minimum requirements may in principle be negotiated\n and may be changed/withdrawn. Thus, all potential candidates who can comply with the\n minimum requirements are encouraged to apply to participate even if the candidate\n cannot comply with all negotiable requirements.

Article 5k of Regulation\n No. 833/2014, as amended:
Attention is drawn to the fact that the tender is subject\n to Article 5k of Regulation (EU) No. 833/2014, as amended. The provision includes\n a prohibition on awarding contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled entities,\n etc. (see Article 5k, paragraph 1, for a precise definition of the entities covered\n by the prohibition). The Contracting Entity reserves the right to request documentation\n at any stage of the tender process to ensure that the economic operators are not subject\n to the prohibition, for example, by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or\n documentation regarding the establishment location and ownership structure of the\n operators and their potential subcontractors.

The Investment Screening Act:
Under\n the Investment Screening Act (In Danish: investeringsscreeningsloven) (https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/1256),\n economic operators i) domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) controlled by or subject\n to significant influence, as defined in the Act, from a company domiciled in or a\n citizen of a country outside the EU or EFTA, must apply to the Danish Business Authority\n for permission to enter into a \"special economic agreement\" within a particularly\n sensitive sector or activity. The Contracting Entity assesses that entering into the\n contract may be subject to such a requirement for permission. Tenderers should clarify\n whether their agreement will be subject to such a requirement. For more information,\n see https://erhvervsstyrelsen.dk/vejledning-aktiviteter-omfattet-af-investeringsscreeningsloven.

The\n tender is conducted subject to obtaining the necessary budgetary authorization.

The\n applicant is kindly requested to note that the field \"Successive reductions\" has been\n marked as \"yes.\" However, this is NOT the case. The Contracting Entity will not conduct\n the procedure in successive phases, meaning that the Contracting Entity will not exclude\n applicants/tenderers at each phase.

Navn: Financial ratio

Beskrivelse: Minimum Requirement
EBIT margin:
As a minimum requirement, the applicant\n must have an average EBIT margin of at least 2,0% over the three (3) most recent available\n annual reports or financial statements.
The EBIT margin for a given financial\n year is calculated as applicant’s EBIT divided by the turnover, expressed as a percentage.\n The EBIT margin is thus calculated as follows: (EBIT / Turnover) x 100 = EBIT margin.

If\n the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities, the EBIT margin for a given\n financial year is calculated as the combined EBIT of the applicant and these other\n entities, divided by their combined turnover, expressed as a percentage. Hereafter\n the average EBIT margin is calculated over the three (3) most recent available annual\n reports or financial statements.
In the case of a group of economic operators\n (e.g., such as a consortium), the EBIT margin for a given financial year is calculated\n as the combined EBIT of all participating companies, divided by their combined turnover,\n expressed as a percentage. Hereafter the average EBIT margin is calculated over the\n three (3) most recent available annual reports or financial statements.
The required\n information must be provided in section IV.B of the ESPD.

Minimum Requirement:\n
Equity ratio:
As a minimum requirement, the applicant must have an average\n equity ratio of at least 20,0% over the three (3) most recent available annual reports\n or financial statements.
The equity ratio for a given financial year is calculated\n as the applicant’s total equity divided by the applicant’s total assets, expressed\n as a percentage. The equity ratio is thus calculated as follows: (Total Equity/Total\n Assets) x 100 = Equity ratio. If the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities,\n the equity ratio for a given financial year is calculated as the combined total equity\n of the applicant and these other entities divided by their combined total assets,\n expressed as a percentage. Hereafter the average equity ratio is calculated over the\n three (3) most recent available annual reports or financial statements.
In the\n case of a group of economic operators (e.g., such as a consortium), the equity ratio\n for a given financial year is calculated as the combined total equity of all participating\n companies divided by their combined total assets, expressed as a percentage. Hereafter\n the average equity ratio is calculated over the three (3) most recent available annual\n reports or financial statements.

The information must be provided in section\n IV.B of the ESPD.

Navn: References

Beskrivelse: Minimum Requirement:
If there are more than 3 applicants who meet the minimum\n requirements for economic and financial capacity, DSB will select 3 applicants based\n on their references. The limitation of applicants invited to submit a tender will\n be made based on an assessment of which applicants have documented the most relevant\n delivery of goods covered by the contract.

The relevance assessment will\n be based on the extent to which the references collectively demonstrate experience\n in delivering goods comparable to the requested main deliveries:
1. Delivery of\n Control & Audio System
2. Delivery of Internal Route Displays
each equally\n weighted.

The Contracting Entity will place particular emphasis on the following\n in the selection process:

- References involving renovation and/or lifetime\n extension of existing trains. Emphasis will be placed on projects that demonstrate\n the applicant's ability to integrate new components with the customer's existing systems\n to a significant extent. This could include integration with an existing TCMS (Train\n Control Management System) or similar.

- References involving the delivery\n of LCD displays for trains. Emphasis will be placed on whether the applicant has delivered\n complete displays in enclosures, approved for use in trains and in operation.

-\n References with a train operator as the customer. Emphasis will be placed on references\n with customers comparable to DSB.

Information Requirements:
The applicant\n must therefore submit an ESPD (European Single Procurement Document) specifying the\n following information:

A list of the 3 most significant comparable delivery\n of goods that the applicant has completed within the last 3 years before the application\n deadline.

The references should include the following information:
1.\n A description of the delivery of goods provided to the customer. The description should\n indicate:
- How the reference is distributed across the different delivery og\n goods (items 1-2).
- Whether the applicant has integrated new components with\n the customer's existing system.
- Whether the applicant has delivered complete\n display enclosures for trains and in operation.
2. Start and end dates for the\n execution of the reference.
3. The financial value of the reference (amount).
4.\n The name of the customer, along with a description of how the customer is comparable\n to DSB.
5. A description of the role the applicant had in delivering the services.
6.\n Contact information for the customer's contact person.

Only references related\n to the deliveries of goods that have been completed at the time of application will\n be considered. For ongoing deliveries of goods, only the part of the delivery already\n completed at the time of application will be included in the assessment of the reference.\n If more than 3 references are submitted, DSB will only consider the 3 latest references.\n If it cannot be determined which 3 references are the latest, DSB will draw lots among\n all submitted references. No more than 3 references may be provided, regardless of\n whether the applicant is a single applicant, relies on the technical and professional\n capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company or subsidiary), or is a group of\n operators (e.g., a consortium).

In this tender, the applicant may rely on\n the technical and/or professional capacity of other entities to meet the suitability\n requirements, including for the purpose of selection. The entity/entities providing\n their technical and/or professional capacity to the applicant must sign a declaration\n of support, as further described in this tender notice. A template is included as\n an annex to the tender specifications.

The ESPD serves as preliminary evidence\n that the applicant meets the suitability requirements in relation to technical and\n professional capacity.

Before the award decision, the tenderer to whom the\n Contracting Entity intends to award the contract must provide documentation confirming\n that the information in the ESPD is correct.
The applicant will not be required\n to provide additional documentation for technical and professional capacity. However,\n the Contracting Entity reserves the right to contact the applicant, or the customer\n specified in the reference to verify the information about the reference, including\n the timelines provided for the reference.

The\n applicant must submit an ESPD as their application, serving as preliminary evidence\n for the matters mentioned in Section 148(1)(1-3) of the Danish Public Procurement\n Act. It is not necessary for the applicant to sign their ESPD document.
In the\n case of a group of companies (e.g., a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted\n for each participating economic operator. If the applicant is a group of companies,\n each participant's ESPD document must be signed by the respective participant. However,\n it is not necessary for the lead applicant submitting the application to sign their\n ESPD document.
If the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities, an\n ESPD must be submitted for each entity on which the applicant relies, and the ESPD\n document must be signed by the supporting entity.
Before the award decision, the\n tenderer to whom the Contracting Entity intends to award the contract must provide\n documentation for the information submitted in the ESPD in accordance with Sections\n 151-152 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. Section 153.
As an alternative\n to the documentation mentioned in Sections 153-155, 157, and 158 of the Danish Public\n Procurement Act, the applicant and tenderer may submit to the Contracting Entity a\n certificate of registration on an official list of approved economic operators, cf.\n Section 156, issued by the competent authority. The Contracting Entity can only accept\n a certificate of registration on an official list from applicants and tenderers established\n in the country maintaining the official list.

Submission of a Letter of Support\n and Consortium Declaration:
The applicant must submit a letter of support as part\n of their application, in which the entity or entities on which the applicant relies\n declare joint and several liability with the applicant, should the applicant be awarded\n the contract. A template for this declaration is provided as an annex to the tender\n specifications.
If the applicant is a consortium of economic operators, a consortium\n declaration must be submitted as part of the application. In this declaration, each\n participant in the consortium must declare joint and several liability for the performance\n of the contract and appoint one economic operator authorized to represent the consortium.\n A template for this declaration is also provided as an annex to the tender specifications.

Selection\n of Applicants:
The Contracting Entity will select the specified number of applicants\n in accordance with the selection criteria outlined in this tender notice, unless fewer\n compliant applications are received than the specified number.

Estimated\n Value, Single Contract:
It should be noted that the amount represents an estimate\n of the expected total contract value for the entire contract duration, including the\n price of all options. The estimate is based on the average of the prices received\n during the market dialogue conducted in December 2024.

Duration of the Agreement:
The\n Term of this Agreement is from the Parties' signing of this Agreement until the Deliverables\n are delivered.

Options for additional deliveries
DSB can invoke additional\n options. The following applies to the options:
Option 1: DSB shall invoke Option\n 1 no later than 1 year after DSB’s written acceptance of Milestone 6. After this time,\n Option 1 can no longer be invoked and shall become null and void.
Option 2: DSB\n shall invoke Option 2 no later than 1 year after DSB’s written acceptance of Milestone\n 7. After this time, Option 2 can no longer be invoked and shall become null and void.
The\n options are independent of each other. If DSB does not invoke Option 1, DSB does not\n lose the right to invoke Option 2. The delivery of Option 1 and Option 2 shall be\n governed by this Agreement including any and all appendices.

Number of Applications\n for Prequalification:
It should be noted that each applicant may only submit one\n application for prequalification.

Please see the tender specifications Appendix\n B - Additional Information regarding requirement categorization of the contract documents.\n All requirements that are not minimum requirements may in principle be negotiated\n and may be changed/withdrawn. Thus, all potential candidates who can comply with the\n minimum requirements are encouraged to apply to participate even if the candidate\n cannot comply with all negotiable requirements.

Article 5k of Regulation\n No. 833/2014, as amended:
Attention is drawn to the fact that the tender is subject\n to Article 5k of Regulation (EU) No. 833/2014, as amended. The provision includes\n a prohibition on awarding contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled entities,\n etc. (see Article 5k, paragraph 1, for a precise definition of the entities covered\n by the prohibition). The Contracting Entity reserves the right to request documentation\n at any stage of the tender process to ensure that the economic operators are not subject\n to the prohibition, for example, by requiring a declaration to this effect and/or\n documentation regarding the establishment location and ownership structure of the\n operators and their potential subcontractors.

The Investment Screening Act:
Under\n the Investment Screening Act (In Danish: investeringsscreeningsloven) (https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2023/1256),\n economic operators i) domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) controlled by or subject\n to significant influence, as defined in the Act, from a company domiciled in or a\n citizen of a country outside the EU or EFTA, must apply to the Danish Business Authority\n for permission to enter into a \"special economic agreement\" within a particularly\n sensitive sector or activity. The Contracting Entity assesses that entering into the\n contract may be subject to such a requirement for permission. Tenderers should clarify\n whether their agreement will be subject to such a requirement. For more information,\n see https://erhvervsstyrelsen.dk/vejledning-aktiviteter-omfattet-af-investeringsscreeningsloven.

The\n tender is conducted subject to obtaining the necessary budgetary authorization.

The\n applicant is kindly requested to note that the field \"Successive reductions\" has been\n marked as \"yes.\" However, this is NOT the case. The Contracting Entity will not conduct\n the procedure in successive phases, meaning that the Contracting Entity will not exclude\n applicants/tenderers at each phase.

Description: Minimum Requirement
As a minimum requirement, the applicant must have an average\n annual turnover of at least DKK 50 million over the three (3) most recent available\n annual reports or financial statements.
If the applicant relies on the capacities\n of other entities, the average annual turnover is calculated as the combined average\n annual turnover of the applicant and these other entities over the three (3) most\n recent available annual reports or financial statements.
In the case of a group\n of economic operators (e.g., such as a consortium), the average annual turnover is\n calculated as the combined average annual turnover of all participating companies\n over the three (3) most recent available annual reports or financial statements.
The\n required information must be provided in section IV.B of the ESPD.

Information\n requirements
The applicant must submit the European Single Procurement Document\n (hereinafter referred to as ESPD) specifying the following information:

−\n The applicant’s average annual turnover over the three (3) most recent available annual\n reports or financial statements. The annual turnover shall be stated with one (1)\n decimal.

The applicant may rely on the economic and/or financial capacity\n of other entities to meet the suitability requirements in this tender. The entity/entities\n providing their economic and/or financial capacity to the applicant must sign a letter\n of support, as further describe in this tender notice. A template for the letter of\n support is included as an annex to the tender specifications.

If the applicant\n relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities to meet the suitability\n requirements, as outlined below, the Contracting Entity requires that the applicant\n and the relevant entities assume joint and several liability for the performance of\n the contract.
The ESPD serves as preliminary evidence that the applicant meets\n the suitability requirements in relation to economic and financial capacity.

Prior\n to the award decision, the tenderer to whom the Contracting Entity intends to award\n the contract must provide documentation confirming that the information in the ESPD\n is correct.
When requested by the Contracting Entity, the following documentation\n for economic and financial capacity must be submitted:

Use of this criterion: Used

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

Criterion:

Type: Economic and financial standing

Name: Financial ratio

Description: Minimum Requirement
EBIT margin:
As a minimum requirement, the applicant\n must have an average EBIT margin of at least 2,0% over the three (3) most recent available\n annual reports or financial statements.
The EBIT margin for a given financial\n year is calculated as applicant’s EBIT divided by the turnover, expressed as a percentage.\n The EBIT margin is thus calculated as follows: (EBIT / Turnover) x 100 = EBIT margin.

If\n the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities, the EBIT margin for a given\n financial year is calculated as the combined EBIT of the applicant and these other\n entities, divided by their combined turnover, expressed as a percentage. Hereafter\n the average EBIT margin is calculated over the three (3) most recent available annual\n reports or financial statements.
In the case of a group of economic operators\n (e.g., such as a consortium), the EBIT margin for a given financial year is calculated\n as the combined EBIT of all participating companies, divided by their combined turnover,\n expressed as a percentage. Hereafter the average EBIT margin is calculated over the\n three (3) most recent available annual reports or financial statements.
The required\n information must be provided in section IV.B of the ESPD.

Minimum Requirement:\n
Equity ratio:
As a minimum requirement, the applicant must have an average\n equity ratio of at least 20,0% over the three (3) most recent available annual reports\n or financial statements.
The equity ratio for a given financial year is calculated\n as the applicant’s total equity divided by the applicant’s total assets, expressed\n as a percentage. The equity ratio is thus calculated as follows: (Total Equity/Total\n Assets) x 100 = Equity ratio. If the applicant relies on the capacities of other entities,\n the equity ratio for a given financial year is calculated as the combined total equity\n of the applicant and these other entities divided by their combined total assets,\n expressed as a percentage. Hereafter the average equity ratio is calculated over the\n three (3) most recent available annual reports or financial statements.
In the\n case of a group of economic operators (e.g., such as a consortium), the equity ratio\n for a given financial year is calculated as the combined total equity of all participating\n companies divided by their combined total assets, expressed as a percentage. Hereafter\n the average equity ratio is calculated over the three (3) most recent available annual\n reports or financial statements.

The information must be provided in section\n IV.B of the ESPD.

Information requirement:
The applicant must submit\n the European Single Procurement Document (hereinafter referred to as ESPD) specifying\n the following information:

− The applicant’s average EBIT margin over the\n three (3) most recent available annual reports or financial statements. The EBIT margin\n shall be stated with one (1) decimal.
− The applicant’s average equity ratio over\n the three (3) most recent available annual reports or financial statements. The equity\n ratio shall be stated with one (1) decimal.

The applicant may rely on the\n economic and/or financial capacity of other entities to meet the suitability requirements\n in this tender. The entity/entities providing their economic and/or financial capacity\n to the applicant must sign a letter of support, as further describe in this tender\n notice. A template for the letter of support is included as an annex to the tender\n specifications.

If the applicant relies on the economic and financial capacity\n of other entities to meet the suitability requirements, as outlined below, the Contracting\n Entity requires that the applicant and the relevant entities assume joint and several\n liability for the performance of the contract.
The ESPD serves as preliminary\n evidence that the applicant meets the suitability requirements in relation to economic\n and financial capacity. Before the award decision, the tender to whom the Contracting\n Entity intends to award the contract must provide documentation to confirm that the\n information in the ESPD is correct.

When requested by the Contracting Entity,\n the following documentation for economic and financial capacity must be submitted:
A\n statement regarding the applicant’s EBIT-margin and equity ratio for the three (3)\n most recent available annual reports or financial statements. This requirement applies\n depending on when the applicant was established or began its operations, provided\n that such figures for the EBIT margin and equity ratio are available. For groups of\n companies (e.g., such as a consortium), the required information must be provided\n for each participating company in the group based on the three (3) most recent available\n annual report or financial statements. If the applicant relies on the economic and\n financial capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company, sister company, or subcontractor),\n the required information must also be submitted for these entities.
If the applicant\n relies on the economic and/or financial capacity of other entities to meet the suitability\n requirements, the entity or entities providing their economic and/or financial capacity\n to the applicant must sign a letter of support, as further describe in this tender\n notice.
