Provision of a Platform Supply Vessel (PSV)

Number of candidates invited to participate in the negotiations: 3 The selection of the 3 candidates to be invited for negotiations after the submission of offers will be based on the above award criteria in accordance with Section 5.1.10 applied on the offer documents submitted by the bidders. The evaluation of the subsequently finalized bids for the contract award will also be based on the above award criteria. * In accordance with § 57 SektVO, the contracting authority is authorised to discontinue the award procedure at any time. * The estimated total maximum value of any call-offs under this framework agreement is EUR 100,000,000.00 (see section 2.1.3. “Value”). For the avoidance of misunderstandings, it is emphasized that this is merely an estimated value, which does not justify any claims against TenneT for call-offs up to the aforementioned maximum value. The value stated is purely indicative. * The award of the contract is subject to changes in the legal and/or regulatory framework, rules and regulations in force at the time of publication of this announcement. * Companies affiliated with the contracting authority within the meaning of §§ 15 ff. AktG (even if they are only founded after conclusion of the agreement). Call-offs under this agreement are made in particular by the contracting authority (TenneT Offshore GmbH) and/or one of its affiliated companies, this is further described in the tender documentation. * The Principal is authorised to transfer the rights and obligations of the subject matter of the contract as a whole to a project company (Special Purpose Vehicle/NewCo), irrespective of whether third parties have already participated as shareholders in this project company or will only participate in such a company after any transfer of this Framework Agreement. * Technical questions regarding the use of Mercell can be addressed directly to the Mercell ServiceDesk: E-mail: [E-Mail entfernt] Telephone: +31 (0)85-001 4593 Availability: 9:00 to 17:00 * Methodology for the general evaluation of offers and BAFO offers For each criterion - except for the evaluation criterion "price", which will be dealt with separately - a comparative evaluation will be carried out and the bidders will be ranked according to their performance within this criterion. The ranking is then multiplied by the weighting of the respective criterion. The weighted rankings of all criteria are added together. The bidder with the best overall ranking is deemed to be the most economically favourable bidder and will be awarded with the first place. Price: To emphasize the importance of sustainability, TenneT will reward vessels with low emissions with a notional discount of EUR 150,00 per ton of saved emissions on their offered day rate during the evaluation of the offers. For this, the eco consumption value provided by the bidder in the price sheet (Annex 3) during the offer phase will be used to create a comparison value based on consumption per nautical mile and m² deck space. This value will then be used to allow for a scaled and weighted comparison of all bidders against the value based on the historic CO2 emissions reported for 2023 by the previous vessel provider in order to achieve a fair and equal competition. The price criterion is based on the following evaluation of the bids/offers: The bid with the lowest bid price will be ranked at 1.00. Any bid that exceeds 2 times the lowest bid price will be awarded the last rank, which always corresponds to the number of bids submitted and evaluated. The evaluation of the bid prices which lie in between is carried out by means of linear interpolation with up to two decimal digits. This applies to both, the selection of candidates to conduct the negotiations with (evaluation based on the initial offer documents) as well as the later awarding of the contract to the winning candidate (evaluation based on BAFO documents). Contractual conditions: The negotiation results within the framework of the award procedure are evaluated with regard to the final distribution of contractual risks to the disadvantage of the TenneT in comparison to TenneT's draft. If there are no specifications from TenneT, the results of the negotiations are assessed comparatively. Technical Ability & Availability: The results of the negotiations within the framework of the award procedure are evaluated with regard to the final concept submitted by the bidders in terms of the overall service design in all areas required by TenneT. The results of the negotiations are evaluated comparatively. * Note on Review Procedure: Applicants/bidders must complain about violations of procurement law in compliance with the provisions of Section 160 (3) ARC - Act against Restraints of Competition (GWB – Gesetz gegen Wettbewerbsbeschraenkung). An application for review is inadmissible pursuant to Section 160 (3) ARC if 1. the applicant has recognised the alleged violation of procurement law before filing the application for review and has not notified the contracting authority within a period of ten calendar days; the expiry of the time limit pursuant to Section 134 (2) ARC remains unaffected, 2. infringements of procurement law which are apparent from the EU notice are not notified to the contracting authority at the latest by the expiry of the time limit for application or submission of tenders stated in the notice, 3. infringements of procurement law which are only apparent in the tender documents are not notified to the contracting authority at the latest by the expiry of the time limit for application or submission of tenders, 4. more than 15 calendar days have elapsed after receipt of the contracting authority's notification that it does not intend to remedy a complaint.
