Framework Agreement — Energinet Green Deal — Technical Consultants and Advisors (Gases)

Energinet is seeking engineers in connection with its green gases’ (e.g. H2, CO2, NH3 and CH4) project portfolio. The role of the hired professionals includes a variety of technical design activities (from concept and feasibility to FEED studies and detail design) within several engineering disciplines (e.g. civil, geotechnical, process, mechanical, risk) as well as revision of technical specifications (based on international and/or local standards and directives/codes). Practical projects include P-to-X plants and refer to the establishment and conversion of infrastructure for gas transport, storage and relevant processing (e.g. cleaning, metering, compression, cooling/heating) in an on-shore/offshore environment. The work is to be carried out in accordance with the rele-vant updated specifications/codes/standards as required by the specific project.

The applicant must include the up to 5 most comparable and relevant references undertaken in the past three (3) years as part of the application. The references must be stated in the ESPD part IV.C: ‘Technical and professional ability’. Undertaken in the past three (3) years implies that the reference must not have been completed prior to the date reached when counting 3 years backwards from the submission date for prequalification. References older than this will not be taken into consideration. References which have not yet been fully completed can be included as part of the application, but if this is the case, the applicant must describe the parts which have not yet been delivered, and this may affect the evaluation of the applicant, cf. section II.2.9).

The references should include:

1) A specific description of the work/project performed for each reference, including: scope/main activities, Task performed, technical deliverables and competences taken into use in the reference including activities successfully carried out. Contract value (if possible);

2) Contact information for the entity in question (including contact person);

3) Date of initiation and final delivery (day, month, year).

Any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities concerning the above information may have a negative effect on the selection of candidates, cf. section II.2.9). Please note the ‘description’ box can contain more text than is visible. I.e. it is possible to copy paste text into the box.

If the applicant is relying on the references of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the information for the ESPD part IV.C must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities.

The number of references should not surpass a maximum of the 5 most comparable and relevant references. If the applicant is relying on the capacity of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor) or the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium) the maximum number of references to be submitted must still be respected and cannot exceed 5 when combined. If more than 5 references are included, the Contracting Authority will only consider the 5 most recent references determined by date of final delivery (in this case not yet finished references will not be included).

The applicant must submit a completed version of the ESPD.

Applicants may not be subject to the mandatory grounds for exclusion, cf. the Danish Public Procurement Act (udbudsloven) Section 135 (1-3) and 136.
