Electrical installation work

Description

The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link 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. It will traverse the 19 km distance across the Fehmarnbelt between Rødby on the island of Lolland in Denmark and Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn in northern Germany. Femern A/S requires design, procurement and building/installation of a mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation system for the tunnel that delivers a high level of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety. The objective of the tunnel MEICA System is to enable Femern A/S to efficiently manage the operation, maintenance, safety and security of the tunnel through an integrated set of electrical and mechanical systems. Femern A/S has an ongoing procurement process for the tunnel electrical and mechanical 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 176-427531). 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.
