Description

Production and delivery of Health Insurance Cards. Danske Regioner (an interest organisation for the 5 regions in Denmark) wishes to invite interested card suppliers to tender for the production and delivery of health insurance cards and letters to 15-years-olds in Denmark. Danske Regioner is assisted in this process by Amgros I/S (a partnership owned by the regions which consolidates the purchases of the regions). The production and delivery regards the following: 1. The National Health Insurance Card: All citizens with permanent residence in Denmark are covered under the public health insurance scheme. As documentation of the right to benefits under the scheme, the Insured must produce a Health Insurance Card when contacting the health care system. The annual production of the Health Insurance Card is approx. 2 000 000. 2. The Special Health Insurance Card: The Special Health Insurance Card serves as documentation that persons, despite having no permanent address in Denmark — are entitled to benefits under the Danish Health Act while staying in Denmark on the same terms as people residing in Denmark. An annual production of approx. 15 000-20 000 cards is expected. 3. The European Health Insurance Card: The European health insurance covers expenses for necessary medical and hospital treatment, medicine, etc., for temporary stays (i.e. up to 1 year) in an EU member state or EEC member state, e.g. vacations, traineeships, studies or work abroad. An annual production of approx. 900 000 cards are expected. 4. Distribution of letters to 15-year-olds: Children who are 15 years of age have a free choice of GP, and are informed of this by letter. Some 68 000 letters are annually distributed to 15-year-olds. The Health Insurance Cards and the letters to 15-year-olds are issued in accordance with Order nº 566 of 29/04/2015. The Special Health Insurance Cards and the European Health Insurance Cards are issued by Udbetaling Danmark in accordance with the Danish Health Act, Chapter 3. The contract is concluded with Danske Regioner as a contracting party and includes the purchase of all of the above mentioned cards and letters. The supplier will be provided with data and shall thereafter be responsible for the production, enveloping, stamping and delivery of cards/letters to the citizens of Denmark. The supplier shall deliver the cards and the letters as general contractor and shall in this capacity be responsible for taking all such action and meet such obligations as are necessary for the delivery. Danske Regioner reserves the right to replace the distribution solution with a solution based on a contract between Danske Regioner and a delivery service. Production and delivery of the card is very important to the Danish society. It is therefore of vital interest to Danske Regioner to ensure that the production and delivery of the cards and letters is professional, efficient and reliable.
