Denmark – Toll equipment – Procurement of a New Toll System for Storebælt and Femern Link

The Contracting Entity calls for the tender of a New Toll System for Storebælt and Femern Link. The purpose of the tender is to find one single operator for the New Toll System covering three contracts: Implementation Agreement Storebælt (Agreement A), Implementation Agreement Femern (Agreement B) and a Master Services Agreement (Agreement C) (together the “Agreements”). Sund & Bælt already operates a Toll Plaza and Toll System at Storebælt. This Toll System was upgraded in 2019. A New Toll Plaza and Toll System must also be installed and implemented in Rødby, Denmark, in connection with the future Femern Link. The Supplier of the New Toll System is responsible to first implement a New Toll System at Storebælt and later implement the New Toll System at Femern Link. Sund & Bælt wants to establish one common New Toll System for Toll Plaza Storebælt and New Toll Plaza Femern to achieve scale on assets, operational efficiency and excellent customer self-service. The Supplier shall deliver one Toll System for common management, operation and surveillance of both links. Pursuant to section 49 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the Contracting Entity has further considered whether the Agreements can be divided into other lots but has found it most appropriate not to make such a further division. It is the Contracting Entity's assessment that dividing the Agreements into other lots would result in disproportionate administrative burdens, both in relation to the synergy between the Agreements, the tender process and in relation to ongoing contract management, including the ongoing management of the tasks under the Agreements.
