The TTC Contractor will be required to design, build (install), test and commission the TTC systems described below (*design and build track and OCL systems). The TTC Contractor shall apply the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI)- and Common Safety Method (CSM) RA-compliance processes and follow them throughout the execution of the contract (*TSI/CSM compliance). Further, the TTC Contractor shall provide maintenance of the TTC systems for an envisaged period of 5 years (coinciding with the defects notification period in the TTC contract) with a rapid response in order to ensure availability of the systems.
The track works include:
• slab track in the tunnel and on the ramps (approximately 2 x 19.1 km) (*installation of slab track in tunnels)
• ballast track from the end of the ramps on the approaches on the Danish and German sides (approximately 2 x 4.1 km on the Danish side and 2 x 2.2 km on the German side)
• turnouts on the Danish side and on the German side including point trace heating system (the contracting entity is envisaged to provide the turnouts)
the OCL system ('OCLS') works include:
• OCLS in the tunnel (approximately 2 x 18.4 km) (*installation of OCLS in tunnels)
• OCLS on the ramps and approaches on the Danish and German sides (approximately 2 x 4 km on the Danish side and 2 x 3 km on the German side)
• connection to the traction power substation on Lolland
• return current and earthing and bonding systems
• overhead line section panels (Ober Leitungs Spannungs Prüfeinrichtung)
• system separation sections
• switchgears
• uninterrupted power supply system for OLSPs and SCADA type-systems

Liste over og kort beskrivelse af udvælgelseskriterier:
The candidate must submit the European Single Procurement Document (‘ESPD’) with the following information:
The candidate's equity ratio in each of the 3 latest financial years available
The candidate's total annual turnover in each of the 3 latest financial years available.
If the candidate relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of minimum requirements, see below, the entities in question will be required to issue a financial guarantee in favour of the contracting entity covering any financial claims against the contractor in relation to the performance of the contract. See Tender Specifications paragraph 3.2 for further on the securities required.
Please note that in relation to the fulfilment of minimum requirements, see below, the financial capacity of another entity may be disregarded, in case the financial statements of such entity are consolidated with the financial statements of the candidate or any other financially supporting entity (i.e. to avoid double counting).
The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity.
Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. The intention is that in connection with the contracting entity's pre-qualification of candidates, the following documentation of economic and financial capacity must be submitted:
The operator's balance sheets or extracts from balance sheets in the three latest annual reports/financial statements available if publication of the balance sheets is required under law in the country in which the operator is established, or other documentation of the size of the equity ratio and the total annual turnover in each of the 3 latest financial years available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the mentioned documentation must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, a sister company or a subcontractor), information for such other entities must be provided as well.
Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, a sister company or a subcontractor), it will further be necessary to submit a letter of commitment from each supporting entity based on the template provided in the tender specifications, appendix C.
If a legal entity participates in more than one application (e.g. as a supporting entity), the contracting entity may request proof that this has not limited the competition in conflict with applicable competition laws.

As a minimum requirement, an equity to total assets ratio is required of at least 15 % in each of the three latest annual reports/financial statements available at the time limit for submitting requests for participation, cf. section IV.2.2).
The equity to total assets ratio is calculated as the operator’s total equity divided by the operator’s total assets, calculated as a percentage. The equity to total assets ratio is thus calculated as (total equity/total assets) x 100 = equity to total assets ratio. If the candidate relies on the financial capacities of other entities, the equity to total assets ratio is calculated as the total equity of the candidate and such other entities divided by their total assets, calculated as a percentage. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the equity to total assets ratio is calculated as the total equity of the operators divided by their total assets, calculated as a percentage. The information is to be stated in section IV.B of the ESPD.
As a minimum requirement, a total annual turnover of at least EUR 200 million is required in each of the three latest annual reports/financial statements available at the time limit for submitting requests for participation, cf. section IV.2.2).
If the candidate relies on the financial capacities of other entities, the turnover is to be calculated as the total turnover of the candidate and such other entities in each of the 3 latest annual reports/financial statements available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the turnover is calculated as the total turnover of the operators in each of the three latest annual reports/financial statements available. The information is to be stated in section IV.B of the ESPD.
In relation to both minimum requirements the calculations shall be made taking into account any consolidated financial accounts such that any turnover, etc., is not counted twice.

Liste over og kort beskrivelse af udvælgelseskriterier:
A portfolio of references documenting up to 7 comparable works, see sections II.1.4) and II.2.4), that the candidate has carried out in the latest 5 years before the expiry of the deadline for application.
Works are considered carried out in the latest 5 years, if the candidate has completed (handed-over to the customer) the works within the latest 5 years (i.e. if hand-over is within the 5-year period the entire works are considered). When assessing whether a reference fulfils any of the minimum requirements regarding technical and professional capacity, only references which have been completed will be considered.
In case the candidate submits a reference where the candidate has yet to complete the works, only the works carried out at the time of application will be given importance in the evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant experience, see section II.2.9). In such a case the candidate is requested to specify which parts have been performed.
Each reference is requested to include a description of the deliveries made. The description should include a clear description of how it relates to the works set out in sections II.1.4) and II.2.4) (in particular to the areas marked by a * in a parenthesis) and the candidate's role(s) in the performance of the delivery.
Each reference is also requested to include the financial value of the delivery, the date of delivery and the name of the customer (recipient), including point of contact. When indicating the date of the delivery, the candidate is requested to indicate the date of commencement and finalisation of the delivery. If this is not possible the candidate is asked to indicate how the date is specified.
The portfolio may not include more than 7 references, irrespective of whether the candidate is a single operator, a group of operators (e.g. a consortium) or whether the candidate (single operator or group of operators) relies on the technical capacity of other entities. If more than 7 references are submitted, only the 7 references that commenced first will be considered by the contracting entity. However, if the candidate has clearly indicated which 1-2 references fulfil the minimum requirements, then these references will always be among the 7 references to be considered.
If the candidate relies on the professional experience of other entities for the performance of specific parts of the works comprised by the contract, see section II.2.4), such specific parts of the works under the contract must be performed by the entity on which the candidate relies, e.g. by acting as a sub-contractor to the candidate regarding the relevant parts of the works or by making the necessary employees and/or facilities available for the candidate’s performance of the relevant parts of the works.
The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of technical and professional ability, see this section III.1.3) and the candidate's compliance with the selection criterion, see section II.2.9).
Prior to award, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. However, no additional documentation of technical and professional capacity will be required from the candidate, but the contracting entity reserves the right to contact the candidate or the customer stated in the reference for verification. Where a candidate relies on the professional experience of other entities, it will further be necessary to submit a letter of commitment from each supporting entity based on the template provided in the tender specifications, appendix C.
If a legal entity participates in more than one application (e.g. as a supporting entity), the contracting entity may request proof that this has not limited the competition in conflict with applicable competition laws.

Participation in the tendering procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering system used by the contracting entity, see the link in section I.3). For access to the procurement documents, the candidate must be registered or register as a user.
If the application contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply.
All communication in connection with the tender procedure must take place through the electronic tendering system. Questions regarding prequalification shall be submitted not later than 20 April 2023. Questions asked after this date will be answered if they are received in time for the contracting entity to provide the information required and communicate the answers not later than six days before expiry of the application deadline. Questions received later than six days before expiry of the deadline cannot expect to be answered unless the deadline is also postponed.
Interested operators are requested to keep updated via the electronic tendering system. If the candidate encounters problems with the system, please contact support by e-mail, dksupport@eu-supply.com, or telephone (+45) 70 20 80 14.

A guide on how to complete the ESPD is attached to the Tender Specifications as an appendix E, including explanations regarding groups of operators and supporting entities.
The candidate will be excluded from participation in the tender procedure if the candidate is subject to the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 134a, 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 11(1), para. (1) of the Danish Implementing Order, unless the candidate has submitted sufficient documentation of its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 11(1), para.

As regards section II.2.7), the stated duration of the contract is based on the preliminary assumption that contract signing will take place in early 2025 with commencement March 2025 (but counted from March 2025). As the case is the award of contract and signing of contract may be done following the first negotiation tender, in which case the duration may be correspondingly longer.
The contracting entity may ask the candidate to supplement, specify or complete the application pursuant to Article 76, para. (4) of the Utilities Directive if the application or tender does not meet the formal requirements of the tender documents.
