In the second phase, a targeted information effort must be made on the usefulness and methods of preparation of EPDs, e.g. in the form of guides and other dissemination activities such as workshops, etc.

All services must be delivered in Danish.

The tender shall be implemented as a public offering under Title II of the Procurement Act. The offering includes only one offer phase.

The tender conditions describe the process of the tender and set out the guidelines for submitting tenders, communication between the bidder and contracting entity, and information on the tender process, moreover.

The contract tendered is not divided into subcontracts referred to in Section 49 (2) of the Procurement Act, as contracting entities assess that one contract contributes to ensuring consistency and uniformity of the forthcoming supplier. Furthermore, it will ensure that the future supplier can build the expertise needed to ensure the high quality required in solving the task.

The task is offered as reverse invitation to tender. The award is thus fixed and therefore is not included as part of the award.
