What the buyer is looking for

This tender represents an opportunity to appoint a new operator to 4 units in CPH and reshape the future foreign exchange proposition. Together, these locations provide direct access to the concession's two primary customer groups and offer exposure to some of the airport's most commercially attractive passenger flows. CPH's objective is to establish a commercially sustainable and customer-focused business model that reflects changing passenger needs, evolving payment trends, and the continued growth and development of the airport.

References: services

Description of selection criterion (English) It is a minimum requirement that the tenderer provides at least two (2) references relating to comparable business activities. For the purposes of this requirement, a reference will be considered comparable only if it concerns the operation of currency exchange services at an airport handling more than 10 million passengers annually. The references (operator statement only) must relate to contracts that have been carried out during the two (2) years preceding the tender deadline. Ongoing contracts may be relied upon, provided that the contract has been performed for at least twelve (12) months prior to the tender deadline. The reference requirement can be fulfilled through references where the tenderer has been a supplier or subcontractor. The decisive factor is that the tenderer has performed the work covered by the reference. The references must be described in the ESPD and include the following information: - Short description of the references - The airports and the number of total annual passengers in 2025 - Date of opening of the premises - Contact person from each contracting entity CPH reserves the right to contact the contracting entity in question to verify the existence of the reference. Please note that a tenderer may in its ESPD state only its own references, i.e. for the specific legal entity (e.g. company) in question. This means for example that group companies' references may be taken into account only if the tenderer relies on the group companies in question in relation to suitability and if separate ESPDs and letters of commitment are submitted for these group companies, see below. As for consortia, the consortium members combined must meet the minimum requirement. As for tenderers relying on the technical and professional suitability of other economic operators, the tenderer and the committed entity combined must meet the minimum requirement.
