Microeconomic and Financial Data

The contracting authority (Danmarks Nationalbank) is the central bank of Denmark, which is an independent self-governing institution established by law. The contracting authority uses macroeconomic and financial data for economic and financial analyses and statistics. As a central bank the contracting authority publishes analyses and reports on financial stability and monetary policy several times a year.

With this procurement the contracting authority seeks access to data relevant for these analyses and reports which includes a wide range of data from national and international statistical providers and from a wide range of markets as further specified in appendix 1.

The contracting authority manages the secretariat for the Danish Systemic Risk Council (http://systemicriskcouncil.dk/). Specific employees in the contracting authority do work related both to the Danish Systemic Risk Council and the central bank. One license shall thus cover both of these subjects.

During the term of contract the contracting authority can extend the contract for renewal once for a period of 24 months.

The contracting authority can purchase additional licenses under the same terms and conditions as stated in this contract with appendices and to the price stated in appendix 2.

The contracting authority has the option to buy additional data as further described in appendix 1, section 5, cf. appendix 2.

A list of up to five of the most significant comparable services, see sections II.1.4) and II.2.4), that the tenderer has carried out in the last 3 years before the expiry of the tender deadline.

Only references relating to services carried out at the time of submission of tender will be given importance in the evaluation of whether the minimum requirements regarding technical and professional capacity have been complied with, see below.

Each reference is requested to include a brief description of the delivery performed. The delivery description should include a clear description of the services set out in sections II.1.4) and II.2.4) to which the delivery related and the tenderer's role(s) in the performance of the delivery.

When indicating the date of the delivery, the tenderer is requested to indicate the date when the delivery was commenced and finalised.

No more than five references may be stated, irrespective of whether the tenderer is a single operator, whether the tenderer relies on the technical capacity of other entities, or whether the tenderer is a group of operators (e.g. a consortium).

If more than five references are stated, only the most recent five references will be taken into account. Any additional references will be disregarded.

The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of technical and professional capacity, see section III.1.3).

Before the decision to award the contract is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting authority intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate.

No additional documentation of technical and professional capacity will be required from the tenderer. However, the contracting authority reserves the right to contact the tender or the customer stated in the reference for confirmation of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of the reference indicated.

The tenderer shall document minimum two references on the delivery of a similar service to two separate customers.

Participation in the tendering procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering system used by the contracting entity, see the address set out in section I.3). For access to the procurement documents, the tenderer must be registered or register as a user.

If the tender contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply.
