Qualification system

BeGreen has established a qualification system for future tenders related to projects within the field of development, installation, and operation and maintenance of (combined or individual) Renewable Energy Plants (“REP”, solar PV or wind) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (“BESS”) facilities. Admission to the Qualification system entails that a supplier can be invited to participate in calls for tenders within the category the supplier is admitted onto. The Qualification system includes both EPC categories and supply categories. When BeGreen tenders a project under this system, the different categories may be bundled depending on the scope of the project. For each tender, only suppliers that are qualified and admitted to the category or categories relevant to the specific tender scope will be invited to participate in the call for tender. The Qualification system is established pursuant to Directive 2014/25/EU of 26 February 2014 (the “Utilities Directive”). It is of unlimited duration and will remain in force until BeGreen decides to terminate it.

An economic operator who applies for the qualification system is considered an “applicant”, whereas a qualified economic operator who is invited to participate in a specific tender is considered a “tenderer”. Only the economic operators qualified to be part of the qualification system at the time of a call for tender will be considered in the selection of tenderers. Qualification is therefore a prerequisite for participation in future tenders, but it cannot be regarded as a guarantee of either participation in these tenders or the award of future contracts. BeGreen reserves the right to conduct tenders independently of this qualification system. BeGreen will, when a call for tender is made, award contracts or framework agreements above the threshold value according to the procedures defined in articles 46 and 47. For procurements below the threshold value, BeGreen will outline the procedure in the tender material for the specific call for tender. The process leading to the selection of tenderers is stated in the Instructions for the Qualification system, which can be found in Comdia.

At the request of BeGreen, the applicant shall submit documentation demonstrating that the applicant is not subject to any grounds for exclusion and that the applicant fulfils the suitability requirements for the Qualification system. For economic operators from Denmark, documentation concerning grounds for exclusion grounds shall consist of a Service certificate ("Serviceattest") issued by the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen). For economic operators from other member states/states, documentation concerning the grounds for exclusion must be identified using e-certis (https://ec.europa.eu/tools/ecertis/#/search) or based on the principles of section 153 of the Public Procurement Act (LBK no. 10 of 06/01/2023). Requirements regarding the validity period of the documentation will be determined in the tender material for the specific procurement or when BeGreen requests the documentation. As evidence of compliance with the suitability requirements, BeGreen shall require applicants to submit the most recent annual financial statements and certificates issued by an accredited certification body confirming that the applicant complies with the standards specified as requirements.
