As part of modernising the signing\n service to meet the requirements of eIDAS2, the Agency is procuring a Remote Qualified\n Signature Creation Device (rQSCD) — a certified combination of Hardware and Standard\n Software — to be installed and operated within the Agency's data centers (currently\n two). The Contract includes an Option to upgrade the throughput capacity of the rQSCD\n and an Option to extend the deployment to a third data centre.
The Contract\n covers the Initial Delivery of the certified rQSCD, comprising certified HSM devices\n (Hardware) and the associated Signature Activation Module software (Standard Software),\n certified as a composite in accordance with eIDAS2. The Initial Delivery includes\n all Licences, Documentation, and support necessary for the Agency to install and operate\n the rQSCD as part of its qualified remote signing service. The rQSCD must integrate\n with the Agency's existing signing infrastructure, including the Agency's certificate\n authority, authorisation server, and signing components.
The Supplier's\n principal obligations comprise:

\n
Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity\n intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated\n in the ESPD is accurate.
Upon the contracting entity's request, the following\n documentation of economic and financial capacity must be submitted:
A statement\n regarding the operator's overall turnover in the latest annual report/financial statement\n available, depending on when the operator was established or started trading if the\n figures for this turnover are available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium),\n the information in the latest annual report/financial statement available must be\n submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on\n the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company, a sister\n company or a subcontractor), information for such other entities must be provided\n as well.
Minimum requirement:
As a minimum requirement, a total\n annual turnover of at least DKK 37 million is required in the latest annual report/financial\n statement available. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, the\n turnover is to be calculated as the total turnover of the tenderer and such other\n entities in the latest annual report/financial statement available.

\n
The tenderer's equity in the latest financial year available.
In this\n procedure, the tenderer may rely on the economic and financial capacity of other operators\n to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their economic\n and financial capacity available to the tenderer must sign a letter of commitment,\n see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to\n the tender specifications.
If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial\n capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of the suitability requirements,\n the tenderer and the entities concerned will be required by the contracting entity\n to undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the contract.
\n
The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the requirements\n in respect of economic and financial capacity.
Before the award decision\n is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract\n must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate.
\n
Upon the contracting entity's request, the following documentation of economic\n and financial capacity must be submitted:
The operator's balance sheet,\n or extracts thereof, from the latest annual report/financial statements available,\n where publication of the balance sheet is required under the law of the country in\n which the operator is established, or other documentation demonstrating the operator's\n equity.
For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the relevant information\n from the latest annual report/financial statements available must be submitted for\n each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic\n and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, a sister company\n or a subcontractor), the corresponding information for such other entities must also\n be submitted.
Minimum requirement:
As a minimum requirement, the tenderer\n must have positive equity in the latest annual report/financial statements available.
\n
If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, the equity is to\n be calculated as the combined equity of the tenderer and such other entities based\n on the latest annual report/financial statements available.
For groups of\n operators (e.g. a consortium), the equity is calculated as the combined equity of\n the participating operators based on the latest annual report/financial statements\n available.
