There will be established 60MW wood chips fired heating boiler, 50 MW heat pump and expected 30 MW of electrical boiler.

The contract is based on FIDIC Yellow Book 2017 Edition.

DIN Forsyning Varme A/S intends to enter into a contract with one contractor for the delivery of the wood chip boiler line.

All negotiations will follow the same process, see below:

1) Prior to the negotiating meeting, DIN Forsyning Varme A/S will send out a meeting agenda;

2) A short note on the assessment of the initial tender will be enclosed with the agenda. The note contains DIN Forsyning Varme A/S’s assessment of relevant opportunities for improvement in the initial tender, as well as any identified reservations which DIN Forsyning Varme A/S regards as reservations.

(a) reservations means descriptions which may or must result in non-compliance if the reservation is maintained in the final tender.

3) The Tenderer will at the meeting have the opportunity to comment on different views on matters stated in the forwarded assessment.

DIN Forsyning Varme A/S points out that:

• only the contents of the final tender will form the basis for the evaluation of the tender and thus the basis for awarding the contract;

• fundamental elements will not form part of the negotiations;

• the criteria for awarding the contract and their weighting must remain stable throughout the procurement procedure, and they will consequently not form part of the negotiations;

• DIN Forsyning Varme A/S will document the entire process in the form of internal minutes of the meetings.

Concurrent notification will be given to the tenderers about all matters, including any changes to the contents of the tender documents.

DIN Forsyning Varme A/S will, after the initial tenders and the first negotiation process is completed carry out a shortlistning.

The evaluation will be made in accordance with the awarding criterion specified in the contract notice and as described in section II.2.5). The tenders with the lowest point scores overall will be discarded so that it exclusively will be the two (2) Tenderers with the highest overall point score who may enter 2^nd (2.) negotiation meeting and afterwards submit final tender.
