Energinet wishes to initiate negotiations regarding Framework Agreements for steel pipes intended for the natural gas transmission/distribution system. The Framework Agreement covers the purchase of steel pipes for projects within Energinet’s business units, e.g. for MR-stations and biogas facilities, as well as for the gas transmission and distribution lines, if the products on the Framework Agreement can fulfill the requirements for these projects.

The Framework Agreements will cover a selection of steel pipes ranging from 2” to 30”. The steel pipes shall be delivered to site or to Energinet’s stock.

The steel pipes covered by the framework agreement include either DS/EN 10204 — 3.1 certificate or DS/EN 10204 — 3.2 certificate.

The steel pipes covered by the Framework Agreement may require internal and/or external coating as specified in the Scope of Works.

The Framework Agreement covers steel pipes produced according to various material grades as set out in Scope of Works.

Pipe ends may be beveled or square cut. Pipe lengths may vary in accordance with Scope of Works.

Energinet is entitled to extent the contract 3 times, each for a duration of 1 year, meaning that the maximum total duration of the Framework Agreements is 8 years including all options to extend.

The Contracting Authority will prequalify the 5-7 applicants who are evaluated as most qualified for the specific tender. Only these applicants will be invited to submit a tender. The selection of the applicants will be based on the submitted references. That is to which extend the reference(s) are similar to the tender assignment, cf. Section II.2.4. As a result the number of references will not be the determining factor alone, but more importantly to which degree the specific forwarded references are comparable and relevant to the tender assignment regarding solution and scope.

Please see II.2.7 above.

Further, companies in which Energinet or another company in the Energinet group acquire half or more than half of the capital or have the Authority to exercise half or more than half of the voting rights or has the right to manage the company’s business regardless of the official name during the term of the Frame Agreement will have an option to use the Frame Agreement.

Energinet is undergoing a process for internal reorganization which may result in a new company group structure. As a result the responsibility of the Framework Agreement, including ownership, may be transferred to the company responsible for this type of procurement when the new structure is finalized. Such reorganization will not affect the scope of the tendered Framework Agreement.

The Contracting Authority will only enter into contract with economic solid companies. This to ensure that the company continues to exist through the whole contract period.

The applicant must confirm the economic ability in the ESPD part IV.B: “Economic and financial standing” with information from the latest annual report regarding the following economic indicators:

1. equity (total equity incl. share capital, reserves, revaluation, retained earning etc.)

2. equity ratio (equity / total assets).

Both economic indicators should be stated in ESPD Part IV.B (financial ratios).

If the applicant is relying on the capacities of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) the information for the ESPD part IV.B must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of the entities, cf. Section VI.3 “Additional information”.

The applicant is obliged to document the requirement by request of the Contracting Authority.

— equity must be at least 1 MDKK,

— equity ratio must be at least 20 pct,

— however, if the equity ratio is between 15 pct. and 20 pct. the supplier can qualify, if Equity exceeds 3 MDKK.

The references of the most significant comparable contracts undertaken in the past 3 years must be stated in the ESPD part IV.C: “Technical and professional ability”.

The references must include:

— a detailed description of the work performed for each reference (please note the “description” box can contain more text than is visible. I.e. it is possible to copy paste text into the box).

Further, for each reference the applicant is encouraged to submit:

— reference value,

— date,

— (if applicable) non-conformities and the handling thereof concerning the delivered products,

— contact information for the entity in question (including contact person).

Energinet reserves the right to request additional information from the applicant regarding references, including the above 4 bullets in case such information is not already included in the ESPD. Also, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to contact the stated reference entities directly.

If the applicant is relying on the capacities of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) the information for the ESPD part IV.C must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of the entities, cf. section VI.3 “Additional information”.

The number of references should not surpass a maximum of the 10 most comparable and relevant references. If the reference list includes more than 10 references, the Contracting Authority will only consider the first 10 listed. If the applicant is participating in the procurement procedure together with others in a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) or is relying on the capacity of one or more other entities for references the maximum number of references to be submitted must still be respected and cannot exceed 10 when combined.

The applicant must submit a completed version of the ESPD. Please see Section VI.3 “Additional information” for further information regarding the ESPD. The application must be submitted through EU-Supply, cf. link in Section I.1 in this TED announcement. Applications not submitted via EU-supply or received after the deadline will not be accepted.
