Climate change is impacting society already today and will have further consequences in the future. It is the objective of the European System of Central Banks to ensure stable prices, safe payments and financial stability within the European Union. To address any material impact on these objectives, that could arise from Environmental, Social and Governance factors, having quality data on ESG related variables is key. The scope of this EPCO Joint Procurement is the establishment of a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of Environmental, Social and Governance data to allow Danmarks Nationalbank, as well as the Eligible EPCO Members entitled to participate in it, to accomplish their daily business activities, regulatory and statutory tasks.

Referansene skal være fra de siste 3 årene før søknadsfristens utløp. Kun referanser knyttet til tjenester som er utført på tidspunktet for søknadsfristen vil bli vurdert.

Hver referanse skal inneholde en kort beskrivelse av leveransene, inkludert en klar beskrivelse av tjenestene og leverandørens rolle(r), den økonomiske verdien av leveransen, leveringsperioden og kundens navn. Leveringsperioden skal angi start- og sluttdato. Hvis dette ikke er mulig, for eksempel ved løpende oppgaver under en rammeavtale, skal det angis hvordan datoen er spesifisert. Maksimalt 5 referanser kan oppgis. Hvis leverandøren baserer seg på teknisk kapasitet fra andre operatører, må disse operatørene signere en forpliktelseserklæring. Hvis leverandøren baserer seg på faglig erfaring fra andre enheter for spesifikke deler av tjenestene, må disse delene utføres av den enheten leverandøren baserer seg på.
