Main site or place of performance:

The framework agreement covers compressor supply to forthcoming biogas projects in Denmark.

The Contracting Authority wants to establish a Framework Agreement for compressor supply to biogas projects in Denmark. The Framework Agreement covers installation of a number of reverse-flow plants with compressors for moving upgraded biogas from the distribution grid into the 80 barg natural gas transmission grid in Denmark.

The compressor packages will have different requirements to capacity range as well as pres-sure range. Basically, the units shall cover the capacity range from 5.000 Nm3/hr., to 15.000 Nm3/hr., with a min. inlet pressure of either 12, 23 or 35 barg and an approximate max. outlet pressure of either 60 or 80 barg.

A larger unit is included, with a capacity of 30.000 Nm3/hr., at an inlet pressure of 23 barg and outlet of 80 barg. The overview of the data of the compressor units can be found in Appendix 3: Schedule of Prices.

The compressors shall be delivered as packaged units (skid mounted) units. In addition to the supply of compressor packages the scope also includes Service and Maintenance Agreement.

The estimated consumption during the term of the framework agreement is expected to amount to 40 compressors in total. The estimated number of units is 4 of each compressor (ID 1, ID 2, ID 3a or ID 3b, ID 4, ID 5, ID 6, ID 7, ID 8 and ID 9).

The framework agreement consists of an initial call-off of 8 compressors; two of each of the following: (ID 1, ID 2, ID 3a or ID 3b and ID 4). The initial call-off of 8 compressors will be awarded on the basis of the award of the framework agreement to the tenderer that achieves the highest score, cf. section 4.2. The 8 compressors might need to be delivered simultaneously.

For further details concerning the purchase, reference is made to the appendices to the tender documents.

The total purchase is made for a period of 4 years from the signing of the framework agreement with the option of an extension for 2x2 years. Orders under the framework agreement will be allocated directly to the supplier which, in the view of the Contracting Authority, has submitted the most economically advantageous tender, see section 4.1.

Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documents

Value excluding VAT: 140 000 000.00 EUR

Duration in months: 48

This contract is subject to renewal: yes

Description of renewals:

The framework agreement can be extended for (2x2 years) by a written notice to the Supplier no later than 3 months before the termination of the Agreement.

Envisaged minimum number: 3

Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates:

If more than [3] applicants fulfill the minimum requirements, cf. section III, the Contracting Authority will prequalify the [3] applicants who are evaluated as most qualified for the specific tendered assignment. 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 assessed to be similar to the tendered assignment, cf. section II.2.4, in terms of comparability and relevance.

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 tendered assignment regarding solution and scope, especially concerning:

• Compressors within similar capacity and pressure levels as for the tendered assignment (capacity range from 5.000 Nm3/hr., and up to 30.000 Nm3/hr., with a min. inlet pressure of either 12, 23 or 35 barg and an approximate max. outlet pressure of either 60 or 80 barg).

• Produced under similar standards and norms, as experience with delivery under the EU-Directive and the API 618 norm (or equivalent).

Variants will be accepted: no

Options: yes

Description of options:

Companies in which Energinet SOV 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.

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). This must be stated with two decimals.

If the applicant is relying on the capacities 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.B must also be given in a separate ESPD from each of these entities, cf. section VI.3 “Additional information”. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to secure that the minimum level(s) of standards required are reached on the basis of consolidation when the applicant is relying on the capacity of other entities or when the applicant is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortium).

Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required:

Concerning 1: Equity from the latest annual report must, at the time of prequalification, be at least 3,400,000 EUR.

Concerning 2: Equity ratio from the latest annual report must be at least 20 pct.

Upon request the applicant must be able to document the fulfilment of minimum requirements by submitting an approved annual report or auditor’s statement containing the figures required to be disclosed in the ESPD. The applicant may also document the other fulfillment of any document that the contracting authority deems appropriate if the applicant is unable to submit the above documents.

List and brief description of selection criteria:

The applicant can 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 / closed-out and accepted by the Employer can be included as part of the application. However, 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:

A specific description of the work performed for each reference, including:

Detailed description of the work performed for each reference that has been completed / closed-out and accepted by the Employer, including the following information:

1. Compressor type and motor power

2. Inlet pressure, outlet pressure and capacity

3. Design basis used

4. Reference to directives used for authority approval

5. Contract value (if possible)

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

7. Date and location 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).

Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required:

Documented delivery of a compressor with capacity of 30.000 Nm3/hr., or above within the last 3 years.
