Description

The Fehmarn belt Fixed Link Project (‘Project’) is the final stage in the realisation of a straight traffic corridor between Scandinavia and continental Europe. This is intended to be an immersed tunnel containing 2 dual carriageways and a twin-track railway (‘Tunnel’). It will traverse the 19 km distance across the Fehmarn belt between Rødby on the island of Lolland in Denmark and Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn in northern Germany. Femern A/S has been appointed as the infrastructure manager of the Fehmarn Railway System under the Treaty between Denmark and Germany relating to the Fehmarn belt Fixed Link. This notice relates to the Tunnel Power Supply (‘TPS') contract. Femern A/S has an ongoing procurement process for the Tunnel Power Supply (‘TPS') contract. However, this procurement process has been awaiting the process regarding obtaining the final German plan approval. Femern A/S has carried out a market consultation (see 2019/S 176-429426). Following this Femern A/S has now concluded that continuing with the paused procurement is no longer viable. Femern A/S wishes to pursue the best overall value for the project and has determined this is best achieved by making a new call for competition. Femern A/S has accordingly decided to terminate the procurement process in order to make a new call for competition. Such a new call for competition will e.g. allow Femern A/S to make needed changes in the tender material without consideration to the original tender material (e.g. award criteria, etc.). Femern A/S expects to start a new procurement process during 2020.
