Field: Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required:
The applicant must submit a completed version of the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD, including Part IV, section B, which shall contain information concerning the financial ratios and average annual turnover described below (A-C).
(A) EBIT margin::It is a minimum requirement that the applicant is able to document an average EBIT margin of at least 5 % within the last 3 completed financial years.
The EBIT margin is calculated by dividing EBIT with turnover (EBIT/turnover x 100).
(B) Turnover: It is a minimum requirement that the applicant has had an average total annual turnover of at least 160 000 000,00 DKK in the last 3 completed financial years before submission of the application or in the period since the incorporation of the company.
(C) Solvency ratio: It is a minimum requirement that the applicant can document a solvency ratio of min. 20 % in average within the last 3 completed financial years before submission of the application or in the period since the incorporation of the company.
The solvency ratio is calculated as the company’s equity divided by the company’s total assets:
Equity at the end of the year x 100/Assets at the end of the year.
The following documentation of financial capacity must be presented upon re-quest from DSB, and such requests could be made at any point during the tender process and will be made before the final decision on which applicants will be prequalified to give tender.
The applicant’s annual accounts or excerpts thereof for the last 3 completed financial years before the submission of the application. To the extent that fewer than 3 annual accounts are available, the documentation must be supported by a statement from an auditor concerning the turnover, equity and solvency ratio of the company for the last 3 years or since the incorporation of the company, depending on when the company was incorporated.
In the event of a merger of companies (e.g. a consortium) the information must be submitted separately for each of the participating companies, however, in such a way that the abovementioned minimum requirements for the applicant (consortium) shall apply to the overall capacity of the consortium. In the event that the applicant relies on the economic and financial capacity of other companies, the information must be provided for the company/companies that have issued declarations of support.
A statement from the applicant’s auditor concerning the applicant’s solvency ratio in the last 3 completed financial years or in the period since the incorporation of the company, unless the solvency ratio can be found in the annual accounts or can be derived from the information in the annual accounts.
A declaration from an insurance company stating that the applicant can obtain an insurance certificate fulfilling the above coverage per claim.
Please note that the Applicant may prove its economic and financial standing by any other document, which DSB considers appropriate, if the applicant has valid reason for being unable to provide the documents requested by DSB.
The applicant is not obliged to submit the declarations if DSB can obtain the relevant accounting information directly through access to a national database.
However, in its application, the applicant must specify whether and how DSB can obtain knowledge about the necessary information via national databases through which it can directly access the required documentation.

For references regarding route control systems, DSB has chosen to allow for references where handover of the construction has taken place within the past 10 years prior to the deadline for submission of application for pre-qualification.
For references regarding shunting yard systems, DSB has chosen to allow for references where handover of the construction has taken place within the past 10 years prior to the deadline for submission of application for pre-qualification.
For references regarding interlocking systems, DSB has chosen to allow for references where handover of the construction has taken place within the past 5 years prior to the deadline for submission of application for pre-qualification.
All references provided by the applicant should be listed in the ESPD of the applicant or lead of the consortium. The applicant may also provide the description of the references in a separate document, however, the ESPD of the applicant/lead of the consortium should contain a list of names of the references. DSB prefers if the list of references is given by using Reference sheet (A101716-125). The headlines of the references should be listed in the ESPD.
Each reference must not exceed 3-A4 pages. If a description of a reference exceeds more than 3-A4 pages, DSB will only use the first 3-A4 pages of the reference.
A reference can only be filled out with 1 system per reference (ex. if a reference regards an interlocking system, the tenderer shall only fill out the general information and the special information regarding the interlocking system).
The applicant may provide up to a maximum of 5 of the most relevant contracts in the list as DSB wishes to evaluate whether the minimum requirements have been fulfilled and who has submitted the most relevant references; cf. based on the first 5 references listed in part IV C of the ESPD.
