With this tender, the Contracting Authority wishes to obtain bids for delivery of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to Verdo Produktion A/S. The BESS is to be installed within the perimeters of the Power Plant Verdo Produktion A/S, located in Randers (Kulholmsvej 12, 8930 Randers NØ, Denmark). The BESS will be as close as possible to 5 MW / 20 MWh usable capacity. The purpose of the BESS is to provide reliable backup power to critical plant assets in case of emergency or grid disturbances, thereby improving security of supply and reducing the risk of unplanned outages. In addition, the BESS is expected to enable participation in various electricity markets and grid support services (FCR, aFRR and mFRR) in the synchronous grid area (DK1) as well as performing energy arbitrage in response to price signals to optimize energy costs and revenues. Further description of use cases for the BESS can be found in Annex 1 – Technical Specification.Main features of the procedureThe tender is conducted as a negotiated procedure according to a tender notice published in the Official Journal of the EU. This means that all interested bidders can submit an application to participate in the tender. The tender is conducted in accordance with Directive 2014/25 of 26 February 2014 (the Utilities Directive). The contracting authority will pre-qualify 4 applicants who are invited to submit a bid. A contract will be signed with one bidder. The contracting authority is responsible for ensuring that the tender is conducted in accordance with the Utilities Directive, including observing the fundamental principles of transparency, equal treatment, and proportionality during the tender process. It is the bidder's risk to submit a bid in accordance with the tender material, and the bidder must expect that the contracting authority may be compelled to disregard an otherwise attractive bid if it does not meet the established requirements. The contracting authority uses the electronic tendering system, Mercell Ethics (hereafter "the tendering system"), to conduct the tender.

Award Criteria
Description
The technical solution will be evaluated based on the parameters listed below. The tenderer must describe these in detail in Annex 1B – Technical Documentation. The weighting of the parameters is shown in the overview below. In order to achieve a high score, the tender should, as far as possible, meet all requirements and provide comprehensive documentation. Fulfillment of use cases A description showing a clear pathway of getting the solution to ensure back-up supply (use case 1) is scored positive. A solution which has been proven in other setups/projects is scored positively. • Solutions which fulfill use case 1, use case 2 and use case 3 are getting the highest score. • Solutions which only fulfill use case 1 and either use case 2 or 3 get a medium score. • Solutions which only fulfill use case 1 get a lower medium score. • Solutions which only fulfill use case 2 and 3 get a lower score. • Solutions which only fulfill either use case 2 or 3 get the lowest score. • Solutions which partly fulfill use 2 are scored lower than those able to deliver all services. Experience with compliance with grid connection requirements Solutions where the inverter are on the positive list or the system has been approved for grid connection in Denmark in earlier projects will get a higher score. Systems where the documentation of compliance with grid connection requirements in other European countries will get a medium score. Systems which cannot show any technical grid connection compliance will get a lower score. Product quality Tests documenting the product quality, like full load tests of power conversion system, will be scored positively. Product scalability and modulization ensuring opportunities for future expansion and to the extent where risks of down-time are minimized and service opportunities are best are scored positively. Thorough design to ensure mechanical integrity of the solution is scored positively. Product safety Tests, risks assessments, and descriptions documenting a high level of product safety will be scored higher. Fulfillment of relevant safety standards will be scored positively. In evaluation of product safety, the emphasis will be on: • Fire safety prevention measures • Fire monitoring • Fire mitigation measures and minimization of fire spreading • Electrical short circuit protection and risk minimization • Safety measures to protect personnel working around and on the system • Functional safety e.g. through a high quality BMS Levelized cost of storage Levelized cost of storage will be calculated based on parameters stated by the supplier. Parameters included will be roundtrip efficiency, system lifetime, operational/maintenance costs and investment costs[LA2.1][JR2.2]. A low and realistic LCOS will be scored positively.

The evaluation of the sub-criteria “Price” is based on the total tender sum comprising the following price elements: • The total price for the basic scope of supply according to the Bid list • The total price for the options according to the Bid list (corrected sum, according to description below) • The total price for optional spare parts specified in Annex 1D (according to description below) Basic scope of supply The total price stated in the Bid list, based on the basic scope of supply, specified in the Technical Specifications. The evaluated price for the basic scope of supply parts will be evaluated 100%. Options The prices for options will be based on the scope specified in the Technical Specifications The evaluated price for the options parts will be evaluated 100%. Optional spare parts The total price for optional spare parts according to Annex 1C. The evaluated price for the optional spare parts will be evaluated 100%. The total Price used for evaluation is the sum of the above-mentioned deliveries.
Evaluation Method
The lowest price for “total price” will receive the highest score (10) on a scale from 0–10. The other tenderers will receive points relative to the best price.
