Supplier Qualification System ("SQS") — Supply for modules to projects with the purpose of establishing Bioenergy Plant.

Europe.

This Supplier qualification system can be used to supply modules to projects with the purpose of establishing Bioenergy plant. A module represents a category.

The categories are:

1 - EA – Waste preparation is a module for preparation of the waste before sorting

2 - ES – 2D/3D Sorting is a module for sorting

3 - EP – Solid/Liquid is where the enzymatically treated waste is split into 3 different value streams: 2D materials, 3D materials, Bioliquid

4 - EH – Bioliquid Cleaning is where the bioliquid recovered from the different parts of the process is cleaned and prepared to be sent to the biogas (AD) plant.

5 - EB – 2D/3D Washing is where the wet 2D and 3D material passed from the Module EP is washed to remove the residual bioliquid and dewater as necessary before passing to Module ES Sorting.

The process in the Module EB works in accordance with the water loop concept. The wash water used in the 2D washing must be circulated over a separation step to reduce the inerts content in the washing water to ensure an efficient washing process.

6 - RH – Biogas Cleaning is where the biogas is cleaned to remove impurities to acceptable levels depending on the downstream operation- CHP (Module MR) or Biogas upgrade (Module RK).The cleaned biogas from Module RH, could have two destinations either Module MR or Module RK

7- MR – Biogas CHP is where the biogas is utilized for gas Engines (CHPs) to produce green electricity and excess heat as process heat for the plant or for external purposes.

8 - RK – Biogas Upgrade is where the biogas is upgraded to green natural gas ready to be injected

To the natural gas grid. Depending on the Technical solution chosen, CO2 can also be produced as a by-product.

9 - GD – Digestate System is a module that separates the digestate from the AD plant into solid fraction and reject water fraction. The solid digestate fraction will be shipped to recipient while the reject water is transported to Reject water storage.

10 - GT – Water Cleaning is a module that dissolved and suspended inerts and salts are removed from a fraction of the Reject water to prevent accumulation of salts and nutrients in the process loop.

11 - GR – Water System is a module that comprises the central water system of the plant, with tanks, pumps, heating and cooling, for all water qualities in the process.

12 - RA - AD plant is where the biomass undergoes Anaerobic Digestion process. The Anaerobic Digestion (AD) process is a bacteriological process that breaks down organic material under oxygen-free conditions to produce a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gas called biogas. The produced biogas (60 % CH4 + 40 % CO2) is subsequently passed for cleaning. The digestate is passed to for further treatment.

13 - EE – Reactors is where the MSW is mixed with warm water, enzymes and pH adjusting components and enzymatically hydrolyzed. The function has several purposes:

• Homogenous mix of MSW with heated water and enzymes.

• Enzymatically treating the mixture to sufficient retention time under optimum conditions.

• Treated waste buffer where bioliquid is drained off and the enzymatically treated waste is transferred to Module EP, in an even and continuous flow.

14 - All categories - EA – Waste preparation, ES – 2D/3D Sorting, EP – Solid/Liquid, EH – Bioliquid Cleaning, EB – 2D/3D Washing, RH – Biogas Cleaning, MR – Biogas CHP, RK – Biogas Upgrade, GD – Digestate System, GT – Water Cleaning, GR – Water System, RA - AD plant, EE – Reactors A full system including all modules.

Candidates applying admission for the Supplier Qualification System must be capable of providing all or some of the modules described above. See also section 3.1, Guideline to Supplier Qualification System (supplying these systems does not set out requirements to the level of own-production and sub-contracting).The candidates must be able to supply the Modules in Europe. Candidates are encouraged to provide details on which market candidates are operating on.

Application for admission to the qualification system must be submitted in the e-sourcing system Scanmarket.

Candidates are requested to fill out the eESPD document provided by Ørsted Bioenergy & Thermal Power A/S in Scanmarket as an XML file. Please follow the link https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/espd/welcome and upload the XML file there in order to fill out the eESPD document.

If the Candidate is applying for qualification for more than one category using the same eESPD, Ørsted Bioenergy & Thermal Power A/S encourages the Candidate to insert separate reference lists for each of the categories in the eESPD Part V in accordance with the guidelines and requirements described in section 3.1 to the Guideline Supplier Qualification System.

The Candidate is only required to complete the eESPD. If additional files are provided, the Candidate is asked to refer to such files in the eESPD.

A call for competition will include a category or categories and may also include auxiliary components. If the qualification system is used, auxiliary components will only be acquired together with the main components and not on a stand alone basis.

The exact scope will be described in the tender material for the tender. Should Ørsted Bioenergy & Thermal Power A/S decide to tender for a scope covering two or more categories, only Candidates registered in those categories will be invited to the tender. Further, should Ørsted Bioenergy & Thermal Power A/S decide to tender for a scope covering all the categories, only Candidates registered in the category covering all fourteen categories will be invited to the tender.

The following information must be submitted in the e-sourcing system Scanmarket as a part of the eESPD.

Qualification and pre-qualification will take place in several stages. First stage is the qualification in the Supplier qualification system and second stage is the prequalification to the call for competition. When pre-qualifying candidates for a specific tender Ørsted Bioenergy and Thermal power A/S will use objective criteria.

This Supplier qualification system is none exclusive, and Ørsted Bioenergy and Thermal power A/S is not obliged to use the Supplier qualification system and can use alternative qualification systems or contract notices. With the Supplier qualification system, Ørsted Bioenergy and Thermal power A/S wish to establish a pool of qualified candidates, who can be invited to specific tenders. If an application is rejected because it does not comply with the requirements or minimum requirements it can update the application and re-submit. Further, qualified candidates can update their applications if they wish to update their information. When using the qualification system, Ørsted will state in the tender conditions for the specific tender which award criteria is applied. A specific tender may be awarded both by lowest price or best price / quality ratio. It will also be stated in the tender documents for the specific tender, if an electronic auction will be used for the specific tender procedure. Ørsted Bioenergy and Thermal power A/S plan to submit the first tender(s) very soon after publication of this notice. See Guideline supplier qualification system.
