This initiative is made in order to accommodate a realistic price adjustment in the current market situation. // ENGLISH VERSIONS // The contracting authority has made this contract notice as well as main tender documents available in English language versions, including Tender Conditions, Framework Agreement and Requirement Specification. Apart from the Tender conditions (which are only in English) only the Danish versions are valid and the English versions for guidance only. // CONTRACT QUANTITY AND VALUE // Throughout its duration, the agreement has an estimated framework of 179.000 m. of rails as stated in appendix 4 (Pricelist - TBL) and appendix 1.1 (Forecast for Lokaltog projects 2023-30). The agreement's total maximum framework for the entire agreement period amounts to a total of 214.800 m. of rails. At the time of the tender the estimated maximum value of the agreement is DKK 130 mio. (ex. VAT), but the actual value may increase or decrease over the term of the Agreement depending on the price development, as the total maximum purchases for the entire agreement period is calculated in quantities as stated above. Please see the Agreement, § 4.2 for further details. The Agreement has not been subdivided into lots as it has not been deemed commercially attractive as it is important for the project to achieve the necessary synergy with one supplier regarding technical material and processes. Managing more suppliers as well as sharing knowledge and managing interfaces between these is likely to increase project costs and timeframe.
