Port of Hirtshals is a public limited port company subject to regulation in the Danish law for harbours called "havneloven". Port of Hirtshals currently comprises the following facilities: - West harbour at Hirtshals with small ship yard, fishing boats and the fish auction terminal - East harbour at Hirtshals with 3 big ferry terminals, big fishing boats with related cold storage facilities and a bigger ship yard. Port of Hirtshals has a total area of approximately 1.1 million square metres and is already among the 10 largest ports in Denmark in terms of turnover. As a result of the growing transit from and to Norway and the Atlantic area, Port of Hirtshals sees a demand and a need to accommodate bigger vessels calling the harbour and being a harbour towards the North Sea which is challenging in all-weather situations all year around. The ambition is to map Port of Hirtshals as a key port in the northern part of Denmark both towards Norway and the Atlantic but also as a suited transit port going in and out of the Baltic Sea. With the improved entrance enabling larger vessels to call the port, it should be a commercial decision to use the port and not a maritime decision, meaning that vessels can enter safely in all-weather all year round. Furthermore, the port will develop new logistic areas with long berths with possible Ro-Ro facilities. The port is part of the business Greenport Scandinavia establishing a hub for CO2 storage with storage facilities on land both coming in from emitters around the Baltic Sea but also going out into the end storage below the North Sea. The main contract which is out for tender marks the initial phase of the port’s expansion, specifically focusing on the extension of the western breakwater. The project aims to improve navigation conditions and maneuverability for vessels up to 200–250 meters in length, ensuring safe and efficient access to the port year-round, even in challenging weather conditions with winds up to 20 m/s and waves up to 6 m. This expansion is essential to accommodate the growing demand from existing and new customers operating larger, modern vessels, including RoRo and RoPax ships. The scope of the tender includes the following core tasks: • Demolition of the existing western breakwater including existing caissons • Construction of new western breakwater with a length of approximately 730 m • Construction of roundhead. The new western breakwater will be constructed from a point on the existing western breakwater. The breakwater will be constructed on a water depth from app. 3 m at the connection to the existing breakwater to a water depth of approximately 13 m at the new roundhead. The crest varies from level +5 m at the inner part to level 9.5 m at the roundhead. The new breakwater will be constructed reusing material from the demolition of the existing breakwater and from new material. The tender contains the following option concerning works, that Port of Hirtshals may call on the Contractor to perform: • Shortening of existing eastern breakwater. The performance of the Main Contract is to be conducted during 3 or 4 seasons. The tenderers must in their tender specify whether the tenderer offers to perform and complete the works with handover within 3 seasons (no later than October 2029) or with handover within 4 seasons (no later than October 2030). The main contract is only entered into on the condition that: - Port of Hirtshals obtains the necessary administrative approvals and permits - Hjørring Municipality approves the loan guarantee for the project.

Applicants who are in a mandatory ground for exclusion, cf. sections 135-136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 11(1)(1)of the Implementation Order, will be excluded from participation and will not be considered for the main contract unless the applicant presents documentation to be reliable, cf. section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 11(1)(2) of the Implementation Order. Port of Hirtshals will verify the absence of the grounds for exclusion prior to the award decision. Similarly, applicants who are in one of the voluntary grounds for exclusion mentioned in section 137(1)(2) and (3) and (5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 11(1)(1) of the Implementation Order, will be excluded from participation and will not be considered for the main contract unless the applicant presents documentation of reliability, cf. section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 11(1)(2) of the Implementation Order. Documentation: Upon request, i.e. not as part of the application, applicants must submit a service certificate (Danish companies) or equivalent documentation (foreign companies (eCertis (europa.eu))) as proof that the applicant is not in one of the above-mentioned grounds for exclusion. Port of Hirtshals will accept service certificates issued after 1 April 2026. The service certificate will be required of the companies that are prequalified, cf. section 151(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 11 of the Implementation Order. The documentation must not be sub-mitted with the prequalification application but must be part of the tenderers initial tender offers, cf. section 151(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 12 of the Implementation Order. If the applicant is a consortium/similar association or relies on the economic or financial capacity or technical capacity of other entities (e.g. support services) to fulfil the minimum requirements, a separate ESPD must be submitted for each participant in the consortium/association. In addition, for applicants relying on the capacity of other entities for the fulfilment of the minimum requirements, the applicant must submit, as part of the documentation, a statement of support or equivalent documentation proving that the entity in question is legally committed to the applicant. If an applicant relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities, this entity must assume joint and several liability for the applicant's obligations under the main contract. Port of Hirtshals must draw attention to the fact that pursuant to 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 (hereinafter "the Regulation"), there is a prohibition on awarding contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled companies, etc. The prohibition also includes awarding to tenderers using supporting entities or subcontractors covered by Article 5k of the Regulation, if the value of the supplies of such supporting entity/subcontractor amounts to more than 10 % of the contract value. Port of Hirtshals may therefore at any time during the tender process require applicants and tenderers to document that they are not in circumstances covered by Article 5k of the Regulation. Port of Hirtshals requires for the applicants and tenderers to sign the solemn declaration (Doc. no. 9) enclosed with the tender documents on this matter. In this connection, Port of Hirtshals is of the opinion that the applicant/tenderer is best placed to know its own ownership structure and its own business partners and is therefore also best placed to document the absence of the circumstances covered by Article 5k of the Regulation. Port of Hirtshals reserves the right to reject tenderers who do not sign the attached solemn declaration.
