EFK Danmarks Eksportkredit (hereinafter ‘EKF’) is the Danish export credit agency. EKF’s objective is to facilitate Danish companies’ internationalisation opportunities and to create growth and jobs in Denmark. In that connection EKF among other things provides export loans and guarantees for export loans. EKF is launching a call for tenders with the aim to establish contracts with suppliers of general data and financial information of corporates on a global scale. The purpose of this tender is to obtain a contract covering a data solution including a support function which can help EKF make credit decisions for new and existing transactions related to Danish export and financing.
EKF Danmarks Eksportkredit (‘the Customer’) is Denmark’s export credit agency. The Customer’s objective is to facilitate Danish companies’ internationalisation opportunities and to create growth and jobs in Denmark. The Customer helps Danish enterprises to realise their export dreams by providing export credits, working capital guarantees and export loans to enable them to finance their activities and cover commercial and political risks in their export markets.
The Customer is the only organisation in Denmark that provides cover for extraordinary export risks that the private market is unable or unwilling to guarantee or provide financing to. The Customer operates with a long-term perspective and the risk exposure necessary in countries and markets where the political and commercial situation may be uncertain.
The Customer is utilising various data and financial data in the credit risk assessment of corporate risk on a global scale. The data is used for credit evaluation of corporates which the Customer’s clients (i.e. Danish export companies) export to. The export contract is accompanied by financing or insurance and the Customer makes a credit evaluation of the foreign buyer in order for the Customer to issue a guarantee covering the foreign buyer’s repayment of the credit or export contract.
In this regard, the Customer requires access to a database with general and financial data of corporates and countries on a global scale.
EKF is looking for a data solution which covers the following main services, all described in Appendix 1 for the Contract:
A. Access to a database/solution regarding financial data of corporates on a global scale including credit and risk assessments (credit reports);
B. Access to a support function in relation to the database/solution covering technical problems, requests for existing or updated information of corporates and questions to the data and/or information delivered.
