Previous notice : 9d253324-ea95-4f97-846e-5058f95ed2dc-01
Internal identifier : 24/00104
Type of procedure : Negotiated with prior publication of a call for competition / competitive with negotiation
The procedure is accelerated : no
Justification for the accelerated procedure :
Main features of the procedure : The procurement will be made in accordance with the Public Procurement Act dated 17 June 2016 no. 73 and the public procurement regulations dated 12 August 2016 no. 974 (above the EEA threshold value). The procurement shall be carried out in accordance with the negotiated procedure after the prior notice, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 13-1(2). After this procedure, all interested tenderers can submit a request for participation in the competition. The tender contest starts with a qualification phase and the Contracting Authority will prequalify the tenderers. Only tenderers who fulfil the qualification requirements and who have been invited by the Contracting Authority will be able to submit a tender. The contracting authority plans to invite three to five tenderers to submit tenders for the competition, provided that a minimum of five requests are received to participate in the competition. The decision on which tenderers are invited to submit a tender will be based on the selection criteria in point 5. All invited tenderers will have their tenders evaluated based on the award criteria stated in point 6. The contracting authority reserves the right to reduce the number of tenderers so that tenderers with the three- five best tenders after the initial evaluation will be invited to negotiations. After the first round of negotiations, two to four tenderers will be able to submit revised tenders before the second round of negotiations. Two or three tenderers will have the opportunity to join the Due Diligence system and thereafter have the opportunity to submit a final tender. Reference visits will be made at the remaining tenderers in the final phases of the competition. After the final tender has been submitted and a reference visit has been made, the evaluation of the tenders will be made and the contract will be awarded. Attention is defined that tenders that include significant deviations from the procurement documents shall be rejected in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations § 24-8(1) b. The competition documents will be published in the DOFFIN database and in the TED database.
