VisitDenmark, VisitSweden, VisitNorway and VisitIceland constitute the national tourism organisation in each country (hereinafter together as “Visit”). Visit’s mission is to market the Nordic countries as a destination to attract foreign holiday-makers and conference delegates, thereby increasing revenue in the tourism industry and generating turnover and employment in the Nordic society. Marketing is carried out in close collaboration with the tourism industry and other key private and public sector stakeholders. VisitDenmark, VisitSweden, VisitNorway and VisitIceland, is to enter into four individual contracts with one exhibition stand builder for the next two years’ ITB trade fairs in Berlin, with the option to extend for a further year two times. The goal is to find a supplier capable of developing a new exhibition stand in collaboration with Visit. In addition to developing the exhibition stand, the Consultant must also be responsible for transport, assembly, dismantling, storage and adaptations to the stand, etc. during the course of the contract. The stand being developed must be reused at the two trade fairs following the first year of the contract. I.e. in 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the option of an extension to 2029 and 2030. The stand must therefore be capable of lasting for at least four years. Between trade fairs, there may be a need for modifications to the stand and the replacement of elements. The tender procedure is carried out as a public tender in accordance with Sections 56 and 57 of the Danish Public Procurement Act (Consolidated Act No. 116 of 3 February 2025, implementing Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement). Based on these Tender Conditions, the Contract will be concluded with one (1) Supplier to provide the services covered thereby.

As part of their tender, the tenderer must submit a completed ESPD. The ESPD has been published as part of the tender documentation and must be completed via Ethics. The tenderer must complete the ESPD with the information specified below: - Part II.A: The tenderer must provide their name, company registration number, postal address, contact person, whether the tenderer is a micro, small or medium-sized enterprise, and whether the tenderer is participating in the tender procedure together with others (as a consortium or similar). - Part II.C: The tenderer must state whether the tenderer relies on the economic and financial and/or technical and professional capacity of other entities. - Part III: The tenderer must state whether the tenderer is subject to the grounds for exclusion set out in Sections 134a–136 and Section 137(1)(1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) of the Public Procurement Act. If the tenderer is subject to the grounds for exclusion set out in Sections 134a–136 and Section 137(1)(1), (2), (3), (4) and (5), the tenderer will be excluded from participation in the tender procedure, unless the tenderer can provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate that it is nevertheless reliable, cf. Section 138 of the Public Procurement Act. - Part IV.B: The tenderer must describe its economic and financial capacity as well as its technical and professional capacity, cf. point 5.1.9 above. Pursuant to Section 144 of the Public Procurement Act, the tenderer may rely on the economic/financial and/or technical/professional capacity of other economic operators, regardless of the legal relationship between the operators. A tenderer relying on other economic operators must ensure that ESPDs containing the relevant information are submitted by each of the operators on whom the tenderer relies. This also applies if the tenderer constitutes a group of economic operators, e.g. a consortium; in such cases, each participant in the consortium/group must complete separate ESPDs with the information required in Sections II–V of the ESPD. The tenderer is encouraged to use Annexes A and B or equivalent as declarations of support/association. If the same legal entity is part of or otherwise participates in several tenders, the tenderer must ensure that the participation of the same legal entity does not give rise to the possibility of mutually influencing the content of the various tenders. Prior to the award decision, the Contracting Authority will request documentation for the information provided in the ESPD, cf. Sections 151–155 of the Public Procurement Act. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request the documentation at an earlier stage in the tender process if the Contracting Authority deems it necessary to conduct the tender correctly. In accordance with Article 5k of Council Regulation (EU) 2022/576 of 8 April 2022 amending Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia's actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine, the Contracting Authority is prohibited from awarding the Contract to: (a) Russian nationals or natural or legal persons, entities or bodies established in Russia; (b) legal persons, entities or bodies in which an entity referred to in (a) directly or indirectly holds more than 50%; or (c) natural or legal persons, entities or bodies acting on behalf of or on the instructions of an entity referred to in (a) or (b), including, if they account for more than 10% of the contract value, subcontractors, suppliers or entities whose capacity is utilised, cf. the Public Procurement Directives. Together with the request for documentation of information in the ESPD, the Contracting Authority will require a declaration from the tenderer in which the tenderer declares that there is no Russian involvement in the contract exceeding the limits set out in Article 5k. The Contracting Authority may request further information or documentation regarding the winning tenderer's ownership structure. The Contracting Authority refers to the use of the template attached as Annex C when submitting the above-mentioned declaration.
