The tenderer must have had a general yearly turnover of at least 150 000 000 DKK as an average of the previous 3 (three) financial years prior to the deadline for submission of the offer. If the turnover is not stated in said currency, DALO will calculate the turnover based on the official exchange rate on the date this notice was published.

If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the supplies performed and completed at the time of the deadline for the submission of the offer which will be included in the assessment of the delivery.

A tenderer may rely on the technical and professional capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the tenderer and the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies. In this case, the tenderer shall ensure that an ESPD from the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies is submitted along with the tenderers own ESPD. The entity or entities’ ESPD must equally provide the information listed above.

The tenderer will not be required to present further documentation for the technical and professional capacity (i.e. the information stated in the ESPD is considered sufficient).

A tenderer participating alone and who does not rely on the capacity of other entities shall only complete one ESPD. A tenderer participating alone who relies on the capacity of other entities shall ensure that DALO receives his own ESPD together with a separate ESPD with the relevant information for each of the entities that the tenderer relies on. Finally, when groups of entities, including temporary joint ventures, participate in the tender procedure together, each of the participating entities must complete a separate ESPD with the information required in section II-IV.

Prior to decision on award of the contract, DALO shall require that the tenderer to whom DALO intends to award the contract presents documentation for the information stated in the ESPD, cf. §§ 151-155 of the said Act.

If such documentation is not provided, DALO cannot consider the economic and financial standing and /or the technical and professional capacity of the other entity or entities. DALO has prepared a template to be used to confirm the legal obligation which is available at EU Supply at the link mentioned in section I.3). DALO strongly encourages the tenderers to use this form. However, it is emphasized that it is the sole responsibility of the tenderer that the information provided fulfils the requirements.

DALO shall exclude a tenderer from participation in the procurement procedure, if the tenderer is subject to one of the compulsory grounds for exclusion in §§ 135 and 136 and the grounds for exclusion set out in section 137(1)(2) of the said Act unless the tenderer has provided sufficient documentation that the tenderer is reliable in accordance to § 138 of the said Act.
