2.1 Procedure

Title : Public procurement regarding UNICEF Campus 4 – MHE (Material Handling Equipment)
Description : The project UNICEF Campus 4 comprises the construction of a new distribution centre to replace UNICEF's existing facilities at Oceanvej in Nordhavn, Copenhagen. In general, UNICEF Campus 4 consists of the following facilities divided as follows between the MHE Contractor (MHC) and a design and build construction contractor (“Design and Build Contractor”) (the last mentioned is a separate tender): • Material Handling Equipment (MHE) (this tendered MHE Contract): The MHC shall perform the full material handling solution, including the two high-bay warehouses, automation in the backbone and in the low-bay warehouse all supported by an integrated WMS. MHC shall also provide a clack-rack solution for the two high-bay warehouses. • Design and build construction (BYG/CWC): The Design and Build Contractor shall perform the construction of the administration building (headquarters), a low-bay warehouse with associated administration, backbone building and sprinkler reservoir, electrical building and other minor buildings, and base slabs for the two high-bay warehouses. The MHE Contract concerns the Contracting Authority’s tender for the complete planning, design, coordination, manufacturing, delivery and unloading on site, ingress and positioning, installation/erection, training and training materials, testing, commissioning, documentation materials/manuals, and remedying of any defects therein, of the complete MHE delivery (the Works). The MHE Contract is based on a set of Particular Conditions to FIDIC Yellow Book – Conditions of Contract for Plant & Design Build - Second Edition 2017 (document ID 2302) (reprinted 2022 with amendments). The MHE Contract will be carried out in the period August 2025 – May 2029 and a period from December 2028 – December 2038 as regards the service and maintenance agreement (“Service and Support Agreement”). The Service and Support Agreement can be extended by the Contracting Authority.
Procedure identifier : 9adc92b0-e10e-4e38-8051-b253a18cfcdf
Internal identifier : 2024/2
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 : This tender procedure (“Tender Procedure”) contains the MHE Contract and the Service and Support Agreement. The Service and Support Agreement shall be entered into at the same time as the MHE Contract with effect from the time of start of Trial Operation (as defined in the Particular Conditions). The Tender Procedure will be implemented as a negotiated procedure pursuant to The Danish Public Procurement Act (Act no. 1564 of 15 December 2015 with subsequent amendments). The negotiated procedure has been chosen as the project involves high complexity and since the negotiation round aims to sharpen the tenderer’s understanding of the key project information, as well as to address the Contracting Authority's need for dialogue due to the project's many risks (e.g., interfaces). The Contracting Authority also assesses that a tender without negotiation is unlikely to lead to a satisfactory result. The MHE Contract is tendered as a single contract since the project involves high complexity with specialized integrated solutions where the suppliers on this market – according to the Contracting Authority’s knowledge - solely provide a full material handling solution. The Contracting Authority will prequalify four (4) candidates. The Contracting Authority may only prequalify and award the MHE Contract to candidates that fulfil the selection requirements set out in the Tender Conditions and that are not subject to grounds for exclusion (however, the Contracting Authority will of course observe the procedure for self-cleaning, cf. section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, if there is a basis for this). The Contracting Authority will exclude a candidate from participating in the Tender Procedure if it is subject to one or more of the mandatory grounds for exclusion in sections 134a-136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act and/or one or more of the voluntary grounds for exclusion in section 137(1)(2) and/or (6) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. It will also result in exclusion from the procurement procedure if a tenderer is subject to the prohibition in Article 5k(1) of EU Regulation 833/2014, as last amended by EU Regulation 1214/2023. The Contracting Authority encourages the tenderers to submit documentation for the information in the ESPD as soon as possible and no later than 9 April 2025. The requirements for documentation are stated in section 11 of the tender specifications. As a general rule, the Contracting Authority will hold one negotiation round, cf. section 7.5 of the Tender Conditions. However, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to award the MHE Contract based on the initial Tender or any later submitted Tender, without completing negotiating meetings or, if necessary, to invite the tenderers to submit several revised Tenders/participate in several rounds of negotiation. The Contracting Authority will award the MHE Contract on the terms and conditions set out in the draft MHE Contract to the most economically advantageous tender based on the criteria ‘best price-quality ratio’. The Contracting Authority will pay a remuneration of DKK 500,000 excluding VAT per tenderer who has submitted a compliant, revised tender, including the tenderer who is awarded the MHE Contract. If the tender is cancelled before invitation to submit Initial Tenders is announced to the candidates, the Contracting Authority will not pay any remuneration to the candidates/tenderers. If the tender is cancelled after invitation to submit initial Tenders is announced to the prequalified tenderers, the Contracting Authority will pay DKK 500,000 excluding VAT per prequalified tenderer but not to the other candidates (if any) that were not prequalified. If the tenderer consists of a consortium of several participants and/or one or more supporting entities, only the entire unit of companies (the entire tenderer) will receive a total remuneration of DKK 500,000 excluding VAT in accordance with the conditions in this section. The remuneration will be paid after the conclusion of the tender process and upon request (by submitting an invoice) from the tenderer. If the tender is cancelled, the remuneration will be paid after the announcement of the cancellation and upon request (by submitting an invoice) from the tenderer. The applicant's/tenderer's costs associated with submitting a Prequalification Application and Tender, as well as participation in negotiation meetings, etc., are not the responsibility of the Contracting Authority. INFORMATION MEETING: Two information meetings for potential tenderers will be held via Teams on 20 December 2024 at 10:00-11:00 PM (CET) and 7 January 2025 at 14:00 – 15:00 PM (CET) The two information meetings will include the same agenda and information. Therefore, the potential tenderers are encouraged to participate in only one of the above stated meetings. At each information meeting, the Contracting Authority will provide information on the Tender material, including the structure of the material, and highlight a number of the essential documents. The purpose of each meeting is to explain 1) the purpose of the project, 2) the essential documents of the complete Tender Documents, and 3) how to fill out a Prequalification Application. When the potential tenderer is signed up/registered for the Tender Procedure in Dalux, the Contracting Authority will send a link to the Teams meeting via the message module in Dalux. The potential tenderer is welcome to forward the link to other relevant employees in their organisation, potential subcontractors or similar that wish to attend the Teams meeting. The potential tenderers are not required to attend the introduction meeting in order to apply for prequalification, but the Contracting Authority strongly recommend the potential tenderers to attend the meeting.

Pursuant to section 151(1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the Contracting Authority must – before the award is made – obtain final documentation for the information specified in the ESPD from the tenderer whom the Contracting Authority intends to award the Contract. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to obtain documentation at an earlier stage, cf. section 151(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. The tenderer is encouraged to submit its final documentation for the information specified in the ESPD already in connection with the invitation to submit an initial Tender.

As documentation of the fact that the tenderer is not subject to the grounds for exclusion stipulated in the Tender Conditions section 6.2.2, the Contracting Authority will accept the following: • An extract from the relevant register or a similar document issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority stating that the candidate or tenderer is not subject to the grounds for exclusion stipulated in section 135(1) of The Danish Public Procurement Act. • A certificate issued by the competent authority in the country referred to as documentation that the candidate is not subject to the grounds for exclusion stipulated in the cases stated in section 135(3) and section 137 (2 or 6) of The Danish Public Procurement Act. If the country in question does not issue the documents or certificates, or if such documents or certificates do not cover all the cases mentioned in section 135(1) or (3) and section 137 (2 or 6), those documents or certificates can be replaced by a statement provided on oath. If statements on oath are not provided for in the relevant country, a solemn declaration made before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary or a competent professional organisation in the country in which the tenderer is registered can be applied. For tenderers registered in Denmark, this documentation can be in the form of submission of an official certificate (‘serviceattest’) issued by the Danish Business Authority on request. This also applies in case the tenderer has foreign members in the board, management or supervisory committee. The official certificate must contain information from the Bankruptcy Court (‘skifteretten’), the Central Criminal Register under the Danish National Police (‘Politiets kriminalregister’), the Danish Labour Market Supplementary Pension Fund (‘ATP’) and the Danish Customs and Tax Administration (‘Skatteforvaltningen’). For tenderers registered outside Denmark, please be aware of the listed relevant documentation in e-certis, which will be sufficient: https://ec.europa.eu/tools/ecertis/#/homePage. The Contracting Authority will accept sufficient documentation from national authorities in the national language. The Contracting Authority requests this documentation to be unofficially translated into English. Documentation must not have been issued earlier than 6 months prior to the deadline of submission of initial Tender.

In addition, the tenderer is not obliged to provide documentation for information that the Contracting Authority can obtain itself in a national database. In this case, however, the tenderer must state where this documentation can be found. If the tenderer is a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortia), documentation in relation to both grounds for exclusion and suitability must be submitted for each of the entities in the group.
