Purchase of Sleeves, Split Tees incl. Hot Tapping and Stopple Services and Methane Re-compression Services - 25/18597
AI Summary
Energinet is seeking to secure the supply of specialised gas‑infrastructure components and associated services through two separate framework agreements. The procurement is divided into LOT 1, which covers the purchase of sleeves and split tees together with the associated hot‑tapping and stopple services, and LOT 2, which concerns methane re‑compression services. Each framework agreement will be awarded to two suppliers and will remain in force for eight years, with either party able to terminate upon six months’ written notice. The agreements are intended to provide ongoing support for Energinet’s operations, maintenance and development projects across Denmark, primarily by Energinet Gastransmission A/S and Gas Storage Denmark A/S.
For LOT 1, an initial order will be placed within thirty days of the agreement’s commencement to secure critical components, with delivery required within a maximum of thirty‑five weeks. Prices for this initial order must be drawn from the suppliers’ quoted price list, and any price differences in the component sheets must be reconciled so that the lowest price applies. LOT 2 will be invoked similarly, allowing gas‑transmission and storage subsidiaries to source methane re‑compression services on a direct‑award basis in line with the cascade model.
All supplied sleeves and split tees, along with hot‑tapping and stopple services, must conform to the technical standards required for gas‑line integrity and safety, while methane re‑compression services must meet the relevant performance and safety specifications for operational reliability.
Description
Additional information: Tenders may be submitted for one LOT or both LOTs. Each LOT will be evaluated and awarded separately. Subsequent Orders under the framework agreement under both LOT 1 and LOT 2 will be awarded by direct award in accordance with the cascade model. Initial Order under LOT 1 As part of LOT 1, the Contracting Authority intends to place an Initial Order following the establishment of the Framework Agreement. The purpose of the Initial Order is to secure the availability of certain critical components required to support activities within Energinet’s gas infrastructure. The components included in the Initial Order must be based on the components offered under the Framework Agreement. The Tenderer must state the proposed prices for the Initial Order in its Tender. Should the offered price for a specific component be lower in the sheet Components for the Framework Agreement than in the sheet Initial Order, the lower price must apply to the component in the Initial Order. Prices offered in the Initial Order sheet only apply to the Initial Order. Subsequent orders under the Framework Agreement will be based on the prices stated in the Components and Services sheets. The Initial Order will be placed in accordance with the Direct award procedure described in section 1.5.1. The Contracting Authority expects to place the Initial Order within thirty (30) calendar days following the entry into force of the Framework Agreement, as described in section 9.1 of the Framework Agreement. The Initial Order will be placed in accordance with the order placement procedure set out in the Framework Agreement. The Initial Order will be based on the Supplier's final prices included in the LOT 1 Price List and incorporated into the Framework Agreement. The Supplier must deliver the Components included in the Initial Order within the Delivery Time offered in the Tender. Under no circumstances may the Delivery Time exceed thirty-five (35) weeks from placement of the Initial Order. Any review or approval by Energinet of drawings, data sheets or technical documentation will not suspend the agreed delivery period unless Energinet requests material changes to the design. Further details regarding the Initial Order are set out in Appendix 1: General Terms and Conditions LOT 1, Appendix 2: Scope of Works LOT 1 and Appendix 3: Price List LOT 1. Delivery Time The Tenderer must state a proposed Delivery Time for the Initial Order in its Tender. The Delivery Time must be stated in Template 5: Mandatory Response Sheet for Solution Description and Delivery Time (doc. no. 25/18597-37). The proposed Delivery Time will form part of the evaluation of the Tender and will be based on the number of whole calendar weeks stated by the Tenderer. If the Tenderer is awarded a Framework Agreement, the Delivery Time offered in the Tender will become contractually binding for the Initial Order. The proposed Delivery Time may not exceed thirty-five (35) weeks from placement of the Initial Order in accordance with the ordering procedure described in section 1.5.1. A proposed Delivery Time exceeding thirty-five (35) weeks will make the Tender non-compliant.
