Framework Agreement on Sorbent Delivery for deodorization units

Description du marché

The Contracting Authority wants to purchase new sorbent – including delivery – according to the specified technical data. Sorbent must be delivered to the specific plant unit. Due to excessive production of biogas in the distribution grid in Denmark, Energinet Gastransmission A/S has installed compressor stations with deodorization units to remove the Tetrahydrothiophene (THT) to inject the biogas in the main gas transmission grid. The THT is added to the gas as a tracing tool for safety purposes in relation to domestic household. THT is not allowed in the transmission system. All existing biogas compressor stations are located on mainland Denmark or connected to mainland by bridge. The existing stations are in the following cities: • St. Andst • Terkelsbøl • Odense SØ • Viborg • Karup Any future biogas compressor stations will also be located on mainland Denmark or connected to mainland by bridge, and comprises the following stretches: Nybro – Amager (West-East) Aalborg – Frøslev (North-South) The existing deodorization units consist of two vessels each filled with sorbent material which adsorbs the THT. Over time the sorbent will be saturated and will need to be exchanged. Each vessel is initially designed with a capacity for approximately one year of operations which means that it is expected that one vessel per unit needs to be exchanged each year. However, a decreasing gas consumption and increasing biogas production in the distributions grids means that a higher frequency can be expected over the duration of the Agreement. See further information in Appendix 2: Scope of Delivery and Appendix 2A: Safety Data Sheet. For further details regarding the purchase, reference is made to the tender documents. The tendered framework agreement has a duration of four (4) years. The framework agreement can be extended for two (2) times of two (2) years so that the maximal duration of the framework agreement can be up to eight (8) years. The value of the framework agreement is expected to amount to up to 21.000.000 EUR. According to the Framework Agreement section 9.2 the value can be expanded 2 times with 20% amounting the Frame-work Agreement to a maximum value of 29.400.000 EUR. Orders under the framework agreement will be allocated directly to the supplier which, in the view of the Contracting Authority, has submitted the most economically advantageous tender, see section 4.1. The consumption figures are estimates only and are consequently not binding for the Contracting Authority. During the specified period, the Contracting Authority has the right to purchase the services and/or goods comprised by the framework agreement from the selected tenderer, but is not obligated to do so, cf. the Framework Agreement sec. 1.3.
