- The applicant must meet the following minimum requirement for economic and financial capacity: The applicant must, in the most recently completed financial year for which an annual report is available, present a yearly turnover of no less than EUR 1,000,000,000.00. If the applicant is a consortium and/or relies on supporting entities, the minimum requirement must be fulfilled by the consortium participants and/or the applicant and the supporting entities on a combined basis, so that the relevant key figures of the individual consortium participants and/or the applicant and the supporting entities are aggregated for the purpose of assessing compliance with the minimum requirement. As preliminary documentation of the applicant's fulfilment of the minimum requirement for economic and financial capacity, the applicant must provide information on the key figure set out above in Part IV, Section B of the ESPD. Unless the information is publicly available, fulfilment of the minimum requirement must, upon request by Metroselskabet be finally documented by submission of: (i) for applicants established in Denmark, an audited annual report; (ii) for applicants established in another EU/EEA member state, an annual report accompanied by a corresponding audit statement from the country in which the applicant is established, or corresponding documentation as indicated in eCertis; and (iii) for applicants established outside the EU/EEA, comparable documentation, in each case in accordance with section 154 of the Danish Public Procurement Act (Act No. 1564 of 15 December 2015 with subsequent amendments) (udbudsloven), cf. section 12 of Executive Order No. 1078 of 29 June 2022. If the applicant has not yet completed a financial year for which an annual report is available, the applicant may document its economic and financial capacity by other appropriate documentation in accordance with section 154(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. The above information must be submitted for the applicant itself or – if the applicant is a consortium and/or relies on supporting entities – for all participants in the consortium and/or the applicant and all supporting entities.
- The applicant must meet the following minimum requirement for economic and financial capacity: The applicant must, in the most recently completed financial year for which an annual report is available, present an equity of no less than EUR 50,000,000.00. If the applicant is a consortium and/or relies on supporting entities, the minimum requirement must be fulfilled by the consortium participants and/or the applicant and the supporting entities on a combined basis, so that the relevant key figures of the individual consortium participants and/or the applicant and the supporting entities are aggregated for the purpose of assessing compliance with the minimum requirement. As preliminary documentation of the applicant's fulfilment of the minimum requirement for economic and financial capacity, the applicant must provide information on the key figure set out above in Part IV, Section B of the ESPD. Unless the information is publicly available, fulfilment of the minimum requirement must, upon request by Metroselskabet be finally documented by submission of: (i) for applicants established in Denmark, an audited annual report; (ii) for applicants established in another EU/EEA member state, an annual report accompanied by a corresponding audit statement from the country in which the applicant is established, or corresponding documentation as indicated in eCertis; and (iii) for applicants established outside the EU/EEA, comparable documentation, in each case in accordance with section 154 of the Danish Public Procurement Act (Act No. 1564 of 15 December 2015 with subsequent amendments) (udbudsloven), cf. section 12 of Executive Order No. 1078 of 29 June 2022. If the applicant has not yet completed a financial year for which an annual report is available, the applicant may document its economic and financial capacity by other appropriate documentation in accordance with section 154(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. The above information must be submitted for the applicant itself or – if the applicant is a consortium and/or relies on supporting entities – for all participants in the consortium and/or the applicant and all supporting entities.
- The applicant must meet the following minimum requirement for technical and professional capacity: The applicant must, within the last ten (10) years prior to the expiry of the prequalification deadline set out in section 5.1.12 below, have completed two (2) projects involving design, installation and delivery of rolling stock for metros. By "completed" is meant that the project has been completed by formal handover from the contractor or supplier to the contracting authority (employer) in accordance with sections 43-44 of ABT 18 or a corresponding procedure under the applicable contract or governing law, by which the contracting authority accepts the works or deliveries as completed in accordance with the requirements of the contract. By "design" is meant the engineering and technical design of the rolling stock, including the preparation of detailed design documentation. It is not required that the applicant has carried out the entirety of the design work as part of the project, provided that the applicant has had overall responsibility for the design. By "installation" is meant the physical installation, assembly and integration of the rolling stock, including on-site testing and commissioning. By "delivery" is meant the supply of the rolling stock to the contracting authority (employer), including factory acceptance testing and any site acceptance testing. By “rolling stock” is meant passenger vehicles for metros, whether in the form of driverless vehicles or non-driverless vehicles or any combination thereof. The extended reference period of ten (10) years, as compared to the standard five (5) year period, has been applied in consideration of the complexity and typical duration of metro rolling stock projects and in order to ensure the widest possible competition by enabling a greater number of potential applicants to demonstrate relevant experience. As preliminary documentation of the applicant’s fulfilment of the minimum requirement for technical and professional capacity, the applicant must, in Part IV, Section C of the ESPD, provide references for projects that meet the minimum requirement set out above. The references should as a minimum include: • The name of the contracting authority (employer) and contact person, including telephone number and email address. • A brief description of the project, including the applicant’s role in the project. • The contract period, understood as the period from the conclusion (signing) of the contract until handover, as defined under "completed" above in this section 5.1.9. • The contract value in DKK or EUR. If the applicant completed the project to which the reference relates as part of a consortium and/or relies on supporting entities, the applicant should, in respect of its role in the project, state the following: • If the applicant completed the project to which the reference relates as part of a consortium, this should appear from the reference with a clear indication of which task(s)/function(s) each participant in the consortium has carried out (if any). • If the applicant relies on the technical and professional capacity of one or more supporting entities for the project to which the reference relates, this must be apparent from the reference with a clear indication of the task(s)/function(s) carried out by each such supporting entity. It is not a requirement that the applicant and any supporting entities have completed the relevant projects jointly. For the purpose of fulfilling the minimum requirement, the applicant may rely on references from supporting entities. To the extent the applicant relies on a supporting entity’s capacity, such capacity must be made available for the performance of the contract in accordance with Article 79(2) of the Utilities Directive. If a reference includes services and works that go beyond what is relevant for the assessment of fulfilment of the minimum requirement, the applicant should limit the description to the information relevant for this assessment. If the applicant submits references for projects completed under a framework agreement, the applicant should only provide information for the projects, completed under the framework agreement, which meet the minimum requirement. In such case, the minimum requirement must be fulfilled for each individual project submitted as a reference, and not for the framework agreement as a whole. If the applicant submits references for more than two (2) projects fulfilling the minimum requirement, Metroselskabet will, in the assessment, only attach importance to the two references which have been completed, as defined above in this section 5.1.9, closest in time to the prequalification deadline. If the applicant relies on the same reference(s) for the purpose of documenting fulfilment of both the minimum requirement for technical and professional capacity and the selection criterion such reference(s) must be indicated in both Part IV, Section C and Part V of the ESPD. The references provided by the applicant in Part IV, Section C of the ESPD constitute the final documentation for fulfilment of the minimum requirement for technical and professional capacity. Metroselskabet reserves the right to contact the contact persons stated in the references for the purpose of verifying the information provided therein.

## Description

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for prospective contractors to bid for the M5 Transportation System South package (TSS), a critical component of the Copenhagen metro system's expansion. This project is of significant strategic importance, as the M5 line is a fully automated driverless metro system that will not only enhance passenger service on existing metro corridors but is also planned to extend connectivity to emerging urban development areas, including Kløverparken, Refshaleøen, and Lynetteholm in the East Harbour. The M5 is to operate as an independent system, ensuring that its construction and subsequent operation do not disrupt the existing M1-M4 metro lines. The current tender, Phase 1, encompasses the southern section of the line, from København H to north of v/Prags Boulevard, with an anticipated operational commencement in 2036. The broader vision includes the northern section with an anticipated operatonal commencement of the last part of the northern section in 2045 (included in the transportation system contract (TSS-contract) as options) and a potential future extension to form a ring line, signifying a long-term commitment to urban mobility. The procurement comprises the following, together constituting a mixed procurement within the meaning of Article 5 (2) of the Utilities Directive: 1) A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM for M5 south encompassing the subsystems rolling stock (passenger vehicles, service vehicles and rescue trolleys), railway infrastructure (signaling system and other subsystems, excluding permanent way and power supply "on the line"), and a CMC (control and maintenance center). Furthermore, O&M supplies (supplies related to the O&M providers operation and maintenance activities such as maintenance plans and training). “On the line” refers to deliveries outside the CMC (as the Transportation System Contractor (TSC) is itself responsible for power supply and permanent way within the CMC). The integration of the mentioned TS-subsystems and the integration of the scope of supply of the CWC into the Transportation System (including but not limited to permanent way and power supply on the line) is also part of the TSC's responsibilities and forms part of the TSS-contract. Rolling stock, railway Infrastructure and the CMC are further described in M5-2-TSS-SW (Scope of Work) of the tender documents. 2) MAINTENANCE SERVICES following hand over of the Transportation System related to the continued maintenance of the Transportation System (hereinafter Maintenance Services). The TSS-contract covers both the Transportation System and the Maintenance Services. The Maintenance Services are governed by a separate maintenance contract forming an attachment to the TSS-contract (hereinafter Maintenance Contract) The purchase of the Transportation System and the Maintenance Services should therefore be seen as a whole and only one Tenderer will be awarded the contracts. The expected scope and characteristics of the two contracts are described in the tender documents. 3) OPTIONS Three (3) options are included in the TSS-contract: Option 1: The purchase of up to 5 additional passenger vehicles. Option 2: The extension of the transportation system from Prags Boulevard to Refshaleøen. Option 3: The extension of the transportation system from Refshaleøen to Lynetteholm. Metroselskabet’s requirements relating to the Transportation System are set out in the tender documents, including the draft TSS-contract and the Scope of Works document (M5-2-TSS-SW). Requirements may be developed and changed during the competitive dialogue. As regards the Maintenance Contract, no draft contract or draft specifications are included in the tender documents at this stage. This reflects the fact that a central element of the competitive dialogue will be to explore the scope and structure of the Maintenance Contract, including the distribution of maintenance tasks between the TSCand the future operator of the Transportation System (hereinafter the OAMC). As a central element of the dialogue phase, Metroselskabet wishes to explore the advantages and implications of possible distributions of maintenance tasks between the TSC and the OAMC and the technical, commercial and legal terms that will be relevant depending on the maintenance model chosen. The potential models to be discussed and assessed during the dialogue phase are expected to span from a scope of the Maintenance Contract similar to TSSSA models (“Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreements”) to a scope similar to FSA models (“Full Service Agreements”) whereby the Metroselskabet would procure most goods, works and services needed for the maintenance and continued development of the Transportation System from the TSC. However, also models which are “in between” or a model where the scope will change over time may be chosen. Also the options to purchase additional passenger vehicles and options covering the extension of the line (northern section) are subject to dialogue. Both technical and commercial requirements are expected to be discussed including elements related to pricing. For further detailing of items planned to be subject for dialogue, reference is made to the Instructions to Tenderers (M5-0-TSS-ITT).
