Denmark – Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services – Procurement of a framework agreement on technical consultancy and assistance

Opportunity description

CTR (the contracting authority) has entered into two framework agreements, respectively Lot 1 and Lot 2, concerning technical consultancy and assistance. The contracting authority is a district heating transmission company for the following five stakeholder municipalities: Frederiksberg, Gentofte, Gladsaxe, Copenhagen and Tårnby. The contracting authority supplies approximately 250,000 homes in the capital region with district heating, primarily based on surplus heat from power plants and waste incineration. This procurement concerns the conclusion of two framework agreements on technical consultancy and assistance related to the Contracting Authority’s district heating transmission activities. Lot 1 concerns Operation and Maintenance, and Lot 2 concerns Projects. The Contracting Authority has chosen to divide the Consultancy Tasks into two lots to ensure specialised and optimal consultancy, partly for the operation and maintenance of the Contracting Authority’s systems and partly for the implementation of projects related to the Contracting Authority’s systems. The Consultancy Tasks are of a specialised nature and will vary in content, scope and type and must—depending on the specific consultancy requested—either contribute to supporting the Contracting Authority’s operational functions or the Contracting Authority’s projects.
