The tenderer must have an positive equity ratio in each of the last 3 financial years available. The equity ratio (calculated by dividing the tenderer’s equity with the tenderer’s total assets (equity/total assets x 100) at the end of the last 3 financial years available. Concerning the financial ratios specified in the relevant notice, the procurement documents or the ESPD, the economic operator declares that the actual values for the required ratios are as follows: The tenderer must have an positive equity ratio in each of the last 3 financial years available. The tenderer and other entities, if any, must state the 1) equity, 2) total assets and 3) equity ratio as key figures in the ESPD. The equity and total assets must be stated in DKK. If the tenderer is composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures, the equity ratio will be calculated by dividing the sum of the equities of all participants with the sum of the total assets of all participants (the sum of equities/the sum of total assets x 100) in each of the last 3 financial years available. If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial standing of an entity or entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor), the equity ratio will be calculated by dividing the sum of the tenderer’s and the entity’s/entities’ equity with the sum of the tenderer’s and the entity’s/entities’ total assets (the sum of equities/the sum of total assets x 100) in each of the last 3 financial years available. Upon request from DALO, the tenderer must submit the following documentation: Annual reports or excerpts thereof or other documentation stating the tenderer’s equity and total assets at the end of the last 3 financial years available if publication of annual reports is required under the law of the country in which the tenderer is established. Where groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate jointly in the tender procedure, the documentation must be provided for each of the participating entities. If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial standing of another entity or other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor), the documentation must also be provided for each such entity or entities.

Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, there was usually a single bid in the end. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 6 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 53 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 309 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In Denmark, 2,186 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 14,314 recorded awards) — mostly from Germany, Sweden, Finland.

Submission language: English.

Measured from linked award data; foreign winners bidding through a local subsidiary count as domestic — the true share is higher.
