2.1 Procedure

Titel: CO2 Liquefaction, Storage and Truck Loading Station

Beskrivelse: Kredsløb Holding A/S (on behalf of the Kredsløb Group and hereinafter referred to\n as the \"Employer\") hereby invites potential suppliers to participate in the Employer's\n tender of a contract for the construction of a CO2 liquefaction plant and ancillary\n carbon storage facilities and truck loading stations.

To support Aarhus\n City Council's goal to lead the way in the green transition and create a CO2 neutral\n society by 2030, the Employer is planning to establish a carbon capture plant to capture\n the flue gas from the entire Lisbjerg plant, consisting of four separate plants, three\n which are used for the processing of collected waste from (mainly) Aarhus, and one\n which is used for the processing of biomass (mostly straw). The carbon capture project\n will form a natural and necessary part of the Employer's ordinary activities, which\n includes production and distribution of electricity and district heating primarily\n to citizens in Aarhus Municipality. The carbon capture plant will be designed and\n built to ensure high CO2 absorption efficiency, low energy consumption, and low environmental\n impact, and is expected to be based on amine technology.

The captured CO2\n (and potentially CO2 from other sources of in the future) will need to be cooled to\n a temperature where it becomes liquid for more efficient transportation from the carbon\n capture plant to its final storage site.

This tender covers the tender procedure\n for a contract for the construction of a CO2 liquefaction plant and ancillary carbon\n storage facilities and truck loading stations (the \"CLP Agreement\") in connection\n with the carbon capture plant in Lisbjerg.

Ongoing procurement processes,\n authority approval processes for other scopes of the carbon capture project, the near-future\n conclusion of a procurement contract concerning the carbon capture plant, future developments\n or changes in the Danish Energy Agency's CCS tender, and potential changes to the\n regulatory framework for carbon capture, transport, and storage, may each affect the\n tender material, e.g., elements of the scope or the planned time schedule, including\n the Commencement Date. If necessary due to any such circumstances, the Employer will\n adjust the tender material and inform the tenderers thereof as soon as practically\n possible.

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

Proceduren er en hasteprocedure: nej

Hovedpunkterne i proceduren: The tender will be carried out as a negotiated procedure, in accordance with article\n 47 of the Utilities Directive. The tender procedure will consist of different phases,\n namely: 1) Prequalification Phase: Economic operators are invited to submit an application\n for the purpose of prequalification. 2) Tender and Negotiation Phase: All applicants\n that are prequalified based on the prequalification criteria will be invited to tender,\n including submission of relevant materials, first tenders, revised tenders, and a\n BAFO (\"Best And Final Offer\") and thus participation in dialogues and/or negotiations.\n This process is further described in the Tender Conditions, section 9. 3) Evaluation\n and award: The Employer will evaluate BAFO and award the CLP Agreement. The CLP Agreement\n is not divided into lots as Kredsløb deems it beneficial for the CLP Agreement to\n have one service provider covering the liquefaction, storage and truck loading stations\n to reduce the number of interfaces and to reduce risks in general.

2.1.4 Generelle oplysninger

Yderligere oplysninger: For economic operators based in Denmark, Kredsløb will require an official certificate\n issued by the Danish Business Authority (“Serviceattest”) as documentation for not\n being subject to exclusion grounds. For economic operators not based in Denmark but\n within the EU, Kredsløb expects to require the relevant documentation as listed in\n eCertis. If the economic operator is based outside the EU, Kredsløb expects to require\n (i) extracts from
relevant registers or similar documents issued by a competent\n judicial or administrative authority stating that the economic operator is not subject\n to any of the exclusion grounds in the Danish Public Procurement Act, section 135(1)\n and (ii) (a certificate issued by the competent authority in the given country referred\n to as documentation that the economic operator is not subject to the grounds for exclusion\n stipulated in the cases stated in section 135 (3) and section 137(1)(2). If the country\n in question does not issue the relevant documents or certificates, or if such documents\n or certificates do not cover all the cases mentioned in section 135 (1) or (3) and\n section 137(1)(2), those documents or certificates can be replaced by a statement\n provided under oath. If statements made under oath are not provided for in the relevant\n country, a solemn declaration made before a competent judicial or administrative authority,\n a notary, or a competent professional organisation in the country in which the economic\n operator is registered, will be accepted. The documentation provided should not be\n older than three months counting from the deadline for submission of applications\n and the deadline for submission of the final tender (BAFO) respectively. However,\n if longer validity is determined by the authority issuing the documentation or by\n the economic operator's national law and regulation, longer validity will be accepted.\n If an economic operator is subject to an exclusion ground, Kredsløb will ask the economic\n operator to document its reliability, cf. section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement\n Act, before Kredsløb determines whether the economic operator in question is non-eligible\n and must be rejected or replaced.

Certain parts of the tender material are\n considered confidential by Kredsløb. Applicants or tenderers must sign the confidentiality\n agreement included in the tender material to get access to these parts of the tender\n material. Kredsløb will send the confidential parts of the tender material immediately\n after receiving and validating a confidentiality agreement signed by a potential applicant\n or prequalified tenderer.

Kriterium:

Type: Økonomisk og finansiel formåen

Navn: Turnover

Beskrivelse: It is a minimum requirement that the applicant has had a turnover of at least DKK\n 250 mio. in each of the two most recently completed financial years. The most recent\n audited and approved financial year is determined at the deadline for applying for\n prequalification.

The applicant should include the turnover for each of\n the two most recently completed financial years in the ESPD Part IV.B or otherwise\n as part of the application.

If the applicant's most recently completed and\n audited financial year ended earlier than 12 months before the deadline for applying\n for prequalification, the applicant must submit a declaration signed by a legally\n authorized signatory for the company, confirming that the applicant's turnover for\n its ongoing or current financial year is not expected to be less than DKK 250 mio.

If\n the applicant applies as a consortium, the aggregate turnover of the consortium members\n will be taken into account.

If the applicant relies on the economic and financial\n capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of this criterion, such entities\n must sign a declaration of support, cf. section 5.2 in the Tender Conditions. The\n aggregate turnover of the applicant and the supporting entities it relies on for their\n economic and financial capacity will be taken into account.

Navn: Relevant experience

Beskrivelse: It is a minimum requirement that the applicant submits at least one reference from\n delivery of a CO2 liquefaction plant with a capacity of at least 10 tph. The reference\n plant must not be older than ten (10) years from deadline for applying for prequalification\n and calculated from the final time of delivery to and takeover by the customer. Plants\n that were put into operation prior to ten (10) years before the deadline for applying\n for prequalification will not be taken into consideration for fulfilment of the minimum\n requirement.

Furthermore, the applicants are encouraged to submit up to\n five (5) relevant references from “plant projects (e.g. CO2 liquefaction plants, other\n liquefaction plants or other EPC plants) and liquefied gas storage facilities in addition\n to the reference submitted to fulfil the minimum requirement (i.e., a maximum of six\n (6) references will be assessed).

References must not be older than five\n (5) years from deadline for applying for prequalification. References from plants\n and storage facilities that were put into operation prior to five (5) years before\n the deadline for applying for prequalification will not be taken into consideration\n (except for the reference submitted to fulfil the minimum requirement, which can be\n up to 10 years). If the applicant submits ongoing references (i.e., plants and/or\n storage facilities not yet in operation), the current state of the works must be described\n and only works finished prior to the deadline for application for prequalification\n will be considered. If more than five (5) references are submitted, only the five\n (5) most recent references based on the time of commissioning will be considered.\n Delivered references will take precedence to ongoing references. If the five (5) references\n have to be selected between ongoing references, Kredsløb will select the oldest based\n to the start of the project.

Kredsløb will identify the best qualified applicants\n based on the most comparable references. The evaluation of the most comparable references\n will be based on the up to five (5) references submitted plus the reference submitted\n to fulfil the minimum requirement.

When evaluating comparability, Kredsløb\n will put emphasis on whether the experience demonstrated in the references is comparable\n to the project. The assessment will be based on the six references and from an overall,\n combined perspective. However, it will generally be evaluated positively the more\n experience with large scale CO2 liquefaction and liquid gas storage facilities the\n applicant demonstrates. As regards other plant references, large scale EPC projects\n will be considered more relevant than smaller projects, and as regards liquefaction\n plants, CO2 liquefaction plants will be assessed more positively than other liquefaction\n plants, which again will be assessed more positively than other types of plants. The\n more comparable to Kredsløb’s project, the better evaluation. Furthermore, it will\n be evaluated positively if the references demonstrate experience with plants that\n in capacity are similar to or larger than Kredsløb’s project. In the evaluation, references\n from plants/projects put into operation will carry more weight than ongoing references\n and references from plants will carry more weight than references from storage facilities.

2 Procedure

2.1 Procedure

Title: CO2 Liquefaction, Storage and Truck Loading Station

Description: Kredsløb Holding A/S (on behalf of the Kredsløb Group and hereinafter referred to\n as the \"Employer\") hereby invites potential suppliers to participate in the Employer's\n tender of a contract for the construction of a CO2 liquefaction plant and ancillary\n carbon storage facilities and truck loading stations.

To support Aarhus\n City Council's goal to lead the way in the green transition and create a CO2 neutral\n society by 2030, the Employer is planning to establish a carbon capture plant to capture\n the flue gas from the entire Lisbjerg plant, consisting of four separate plants, three\n which are used for the processing of collected waste from (mainly) Aarhus, and one\n which is used for the processing of biomass (mostly straw). The carbon capture project\n will form a natural and necessary part of the Employer's ordinary activities, which\n includes production and distribution of electricity and district heating primarily\n to citizens in Aarhus Municipality. The carbon capture plant will be designed and\n built to ensure high CO2 absorption efficiency, low energy consumption, and low environmental\n impact, and is expected to be based on amine technology.

The captured CO2\n (and potentially CO2 from other sources of in the future) will need to be cooled to\n a temperature where it becomes liquid for more efficient transportation from the carbon\n capture plant to its final storage site.

This tender covers the tender procedure\n for a contract for the construction of a CO2 liquefaction plant and ancillary carbon\n storage facilities and truck loading stations (the \"CLP Agreement\") in connection\n with the carbon capture plant in Lisbjerg.

Ongoing procurement processes,\n authority approval processes for other scopes of the carbon capture project, the near-future\n conclusion of a procurement contract concerning the carbon capture plant, future developments\n or changes in the Danish Energy Agency's CCS tender, and potential changes to the\n regulatory framework for carbon capture, transport, and storage, may each affect the\n tender material, e.g., elements of the scope or the planned time schedule, including\n the Commencement Date. If necessary due to any such circumstances, the Employer will\n adjust the tender material and inform the tenderers thereof as soon as practically\n possible.

Procedure identifier: e0c63105-4a20-4a4a-8492-3fdd44b1e547

Internal identifier: 1077367

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 will be carried out as a negotiated procedure, in accordance with article\n 47 of the Utilities Directive. The tender procedure will consist of different phases,\n namely: 1) Prequalification Phase: Economic operators are invited to submit an application\n for the purpose of prequalification. 2) Tender and Negotiation Phase: All applicants\n that are prequalified based on the prequalification criteria will be invited to tender,\n including submission of relevant materials, first tenders, revised tenders, and a\n BAFO (\"Best And Final Offer\") and thus participation in dialogues and/or negotiations.\n This process is further described in the Tender Conditions, section 9. 3) Evaluation\n and award: The Employer will evaluate BAFO and award the CLP Agreement. The CLP Agreement\n is not divided into lots as Kredsløb deems it beneficial for the CLP Agreement to\n have one service provider covering the liquefaction, storage and truck loading stations\n to reduce the number of interfaces and to reduce risks in general.

2.1.4 General information

Additional information: For economic operators based in Denmark, Kredsløb will require an official certificate\n issued by the Danish Business Authority (“Serviceattest”) as documentation for not\n being subject to exclusion grounds. For economic operators not based in Denmark but\n within the EU, Kredsløb expects to require the relevant documentation as listed in\n eCertis. If the economic operator is based outside the EU, Kredsløb expects to require\n (i) extracts from
relevant registers or similar documents issued by a competent\n judicial or administrative authority stating that the economic operator is not subject\n to any of the exclusion grounds in the Danish Public Procurement Act, section 135(1)\n and (ii) (a certificate issued by the competent authority in the given country referred\n to as documentation that the economic operator is not subject to the grounds for exclusion\n stipulated in the cases stated in section 135 (3) and section 137(1)(2). If the country\n in question does not issue the relevant documents or certificates, or if such documents\n or certificates do not cover all the cases mentioned in section 135 (1) or (3) and\n section 137(1)(2), those documents or certificates can be replaced by a statement\n provided under oath. If statements made under oath are not provided for in the relevant\n country, a solemn declaration made before a competent judicial or administrative authority,\n a notary, or a competent professional organisation in the country in which the economic\n operator is registered, will be accepted. The documentation provided should not be\n older than three months counting from the deadline for submission of applications\n and the deadline for submission of the final tender (BAFO) respectively. However,\n if longer validity is determined by the authority issuing the documentation or by\n the economic operator's national law and regulation, longer validity will be accepted.\n If an economic operator is subject to an exclusion ground, Kredsløb will ask the economic\n operator to document its reliability, cf. section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement\n Act, before Kredsløb determines whether the economic operator in question is non-eligible\n and must be rejected or replaced.

Certain parts of the tender material are\n considered confidential by Kredsløb. Applicants or tenderers must sign the confidentiality\n agreement included in the tender material to get access to these parts of the tender\n material. Kredsløb will send the confidential parts of the tender material immediately\n after receiving and validating a confidentiality agreement signed by a potential applicant\n or prequalified tenderer.

Description: It is a minimum requirement that the applicant has had a turnover of at least DKK\n 250 mio. in each of the two most recently completed financial years. The most recent\n audited and approved financial year is determined at the deadline for applying for\n prequalification.

The applicant should include the turnover for each of\n the two most recently completed financial years in the ESPD Part IV.B or otherwise\n as part of the application.

If the applicant's most recently completed and\n audited financial year ended earlier than 12 months before the deadline for applying\n for prequalification, the applicant must submit a declaration signed by a legally\n authorized signatory for the company, confirming that the applicant's turnover for\n its ongoing or current financial year is not expected to be less than DKK 250 mio.

If\n the applicant applies as a consortium, the aggregate turnover of the consortium members\n will be taken into account.

If the applicant relies on the economic and financial\n capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of this criterion, such entities\n must sign a declaration of support, cf. section 5.2 in the Tender Conditions. The\n aggregate turnover of the applicant and the supporting entities it relies on for their\n economic and financial capacity will be taken into account.

Turnover stated\n in other currencies than DKK will be converted using the exchange rate from the Central\n Bank of Denmark on the date for prequalification.

Description: It is a minimum requirement that the applicant submits at least one reference from\n delivery of a CO2 liquefaction plant with a capacity of at least 10 tph. The reference\n plant must not be older than ten (10) years from deadline for applying for prequalification\n and calculated from the final time of delivery to and takeover by the customer. Plants\n that were put into operation prior to ten (10) years before the deadline for applying\n for prequalification will not be taken into consideration for fulfilment of the minimum\n requirement.

Furthermore, the applicants are encouraged to submit up to\n five (5) relevant references from “plant projects (e.g. CO2 liquefaction plants, other\n liquefaction plants or other EPC plants) and liquefied gas storage facilities in addition\n to the reference submitted to fulfil the minimum requirement (i.e., a maximum of six\n (6) references will be assessed).

References must not be older than five\n (5) years from deadline for applying for prequalification. References from plants\n and storage facilities that were put into operation prior to five (5) years before\n the deadline for applying for prequalification will not be taken into consideration\n (except for the reference submitted to fulfil the minimum requirement, which can be\n up to 10 years). If the applicant submits ongoing references (i.e., plants and/or\n storage facilities not yet in operation), the current state of the works must be described\n and only works finished prior to the deadline for application for prequalification\n will be considered. If more than five (5) references are submitted, only the five\n (5) most recent references based on the time of commissioning will be considered.\n Delivered references will take precedence to ongoing references. If the five (5) references\n have to be selected between ongoing references, Kredsløb will select the oldest based\n to the start of the project.

Kredsløb will identify the best qualified applicants\n based on the most comparable references. The evaluation of the most comparable references\n will be based on the up to five (5) references submitted plus the reference submitted\n to fulfil the minimum requirement.

When evaluating comparability, Kredsløb\n will put emphasis on whether the experience demonstrated in the references is comparable\n to the project. The assessment will be based on the six references and from an overall,\n combined perspective. However, it will generally be evaluated positively the more\n experience with large scale CO2 liquefaction and liquid gas storage facilities the\n applicant demonstrates. As regards other plant references, large scale EPC projects\n will be considered more relevant than smaller projects, and as regards liquefaction\n plants, CO2 liquefaction plants will be assessed more positively than other liquefaction\n plants, which again will be assessed more positively than other types of plants. The\n more comparable to Kredsløb’s project, the better evaluation. Furthermore, it will\n be evaluated positively if the references demonstrate experience with plants that\n in capacity are similar to or larger than Kredsløb’s project. In the evaluation, references\n from plants/projects put into operation will carry more weight than ongoing references\n and references from plants will carry more weight than references from storage facilities.
