Assignment description

VERDO Produktion, owner of the power plant in Randers, has decided to invite Tenderers for the major overhaul of the 48 MW BBC steam turbine and generator. The main purpose of the major overhaul is by preventive maintenance to ensure that the steam turbine and generator, is in a condition where it can operate safely, reliably, and efficiently until end of lifetime, which is expected to be in 2036. The turbine and generator had a major overhaul in 2017 and a vane carrier was replaced in 2020. The unit has been operating without any major issues since then. Replacement and inspection of any parts necessary to operate until 2036 should be included in the scope (assuming an intermediate minor overhaul). Delivery of the parts, if not included in this specification, is considered as extra work.Main features of the procedureThe 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.

• Timeline

  Description

  It is important for the Contracting Authority that the bidder, in their bid, presents a process for realizing the tendered task that ensures the task is delivered on time and with high quality. Therefore, as outlined below, the Contracting Authority will emphasize that the bid includes a robust timeline, cf. Annex 1. The bidder must include a timeline in their bid, which should contain information regarding: Bidders must include all missing milestones for the activities stated in Annex 1A marked with yellow. Bidders must submit a preliminary time schedule for the major overhaul which covers the entire project execution in detail. Bidders must include the requested information about "delivery time" and "impact to time schedule" for all the options specified in the Technical Specification (Annex 1, section 4) and the Bid list (Annex 2). Bidders must include delivery time for optional spare parts stated in Annex 1E "Optional spare parts". It is expected that some of these spare parts will be ordered during the overhaul based on fact findings, and therefore the aim must be a quick delivery time. In assessing the "Timeline," emphasis will be placed on: The process and timeline being realistic, comprehensive, with quality assurance and addressing the Contracting Authority's overall temporal needs in Annex 1. Early milestones for supplies and services as stated in Annex 1A marked with yellow. Short and at the same time realistic time schedule for the major overhaul. Time schedules of less than 3 weeks will not be considered as realistic. A well-prepared and detailed time schedule with relevant actions for disassembly, transportation time in case of workshop activities, cleaning, blasting, visual inspection, fact-finding, NDT, assembly, commissioning phases, etc. Short and at the same time realistic delivery times and low impact on the time schedule for all the options as specified in the Technical Specification (Annex 1, section 4) and the Bid list (Annex 2). Short and at the same time realistic delivery times for the optional spare parts stated in Annex 1E "Optional spare parts". Delivery times of less than 3 weeks will be weighted very positively. Recommendations to avoid critical delays, like raw material, standby of workshop capacity, and other possible options for faster delivery time.
