Price Prices must be stated in the attached Schedule of Prices and the defined price elements must be completed herein. Prices must be stated exclusive of VAT but inclu-sive of all other expenses associated with the purchase. Prices must be stated in EUR. When evaluating 'Price', the Contracting Authority will eval-uate the total cost - Total Tender Price, cf. Schedule of Prices.

Technical solution Technical description The evaluation will be based on the submitted technical description, including method statements specifications and descriptions which demonstrate the technical level for executing the works specified in the tender documents. The work shall be based on a tender engineering ap-proach ensuring that that the proposed drilling setup is robust even if the soil characteristics differ from the expected. The tenderer must include Method Statements and engineering reports from the Pre-FEED covering all phas-es of the Works. Reference is made to Technical Requirements (doc. no. 23/03722-1) The evaluation will be based on the degree of detail and the technical level of specifications and the level of content in the Method Statement(s). It will be evaluated positive if the tenderer submits detailed descriptions that in content and clarity demonstrate fulfil-ment of all technical requirements stated in the tender documents. Further, it will be evaluated positive that the approach and chosen solutions underline the tenderer’s ability and use of competences to execute the works, es-pecially concerning: • Assessment of technical and environmental risks and proposed mitigations • Quality plan • Method statements • Engineering document proving that the proposed drilling setup is robust even if the soil characteris-tics differ from the expected • Contingency plans for handling blow-outs • Specification of specialized equipment and drilling rigs and drilling bits, including considerations con-cerning redundancy of key equipment • Specification of materials to be used • Specification of PE pipe configuration • Specification of the PE pipes proposed. • Specification of drilling mud • Specification of seals • State the anticipated amount of water for per-forming the drilling • Preliminary drawings of drilling profile • Specifications of working areas Specification of onshore spread

Organization As the Works is of immense importance for the Client, the tenderer must enclose CVs of the key personnel who will be allocated to the Works. The following are considered as key personnel: • Project manager • Site staff foreman • HSE responsible • H&S Coordinator (AMK-B) • Quality Manager The tenderer is encouraged to highlight only the expertise and experience for each key personnel relevant for the position in the respective CVs (e.g. educational back-ground, experience within that position, experience with similar assignments etc.). Further, the tenderer should submit an Organization Plan. The Organization Plan should include a detailed description of the project specific organizational struc-ture down to site staff foreman level which will be allocated to the Works during all phases of the Works. The Organization Plan description should describe: • The overall structure, including hierarchy and procedures for escalation. • Lines of communication, internally and external-ly • Interfaces towards the Contracting Authority. • How the tenderer will secure coverage of all po-sitions at all time The Organization Plan must be described in detail as well as visualized in a project specific organization chart. The evaluation of key personnel will be based on the degree to which the experience and professional qualifications of the individual key personnel is up to date, relevant in respect of the performance and position of the specific assignment. As such a relevant educational background combined with relevant roles in recent projects of similar characteristics will be evaluated positively. Further, the evaluation will focus on to which degree the individual key personnel will be involved in the fulfilment of the assignment and how the key personnel complement each other. The evaluation of the Organization Plan will be based on the degree of detail and • On whether the proposed plan is project specific, operational, efficient, robust and with clear lines of communication. • On whether the organization is well-structured with coverage for all interfaces taking into consid-eration the complexity of the Works • On the coverage of all positions and possibility to scall in manpower during execution in order to ful-fil the project time schedule An overall evaluation will be made of this sub-criterion.

Time Schedule for the Works The tenderer should include the Project Time Schedule in the tender. The Project Time Schedule must be project specific and include all activities executed by the tenderer concerning the Works. The tenderer should as part of the sub-criteria include a detailed and robust time schedule for each lot which outlines how the works will be structured through FEED and Detailed Engineering, construction and pipe installation phases, and delivery of as-built documentation. Delays associated with inspections and verifications shall be made clear, if known. The time schedule should contain relevant project milestones including the milestones outlined in the tender documents. Reference is made to the Time Schedule for the relevant LOT (LOT 1: 23/03722-34 or LOT 2: 23/03722-35). The time schedule should be included both in the form of a chart (GANTT-diagram) with clarifications as needed, in a supporting and elaborate description. The evaluation of the Time Schedule will be based on the level of detail and robustness/timeliness for all phases of the Works. The evaluation of the detailed Project Time Schedule pre-pared by the tenderer and included in the tender will be based on the degree of detail and division into sub-tasks to prove for the Employer, that the Contractor has the capacity to do the Works in accordance within the time frame specified in the Clients Time Schedule(s). The Contracting Authority will evaluate the degree to which the tender demonstrates a well-planned, realistic and ro-bust time schedule, which allows sufficient time for potential schedule contingencies, but still provides evidence of a high level of security for delivery within the timeframe as set out in the Tender Documents. In this context it will be evaluated positive that: - the description and schedule reflect a realistic, but front-loaded schedule for the critical activities - hazardous activities are not performed concurrently in the same location - the division into sub-sections ensures that the ten-derer has the capacity to perform in accordance with the overall project time schedule. the description and schedule reflect the tenderer’s ability to catch-up on delays and shows activities to activate

Contract terms For the evaluation of the sub-criteria the tenderer is allowed to propose deviations to the elements of the contract identified as competitive elements in the contract terms. The contract terms consist of: • Contract Agreement for Guldborgsund, doc.no. 23/03722-15 (lot 1) • Contract Agreement for Roskilde Fjord, doc.no. 23/03722-38 (lot 2) • Appendix 1 [General Conditions based on AB18], doc.no. 23/03722-16 (both lots) The deviations should be enclosed in the clarification list c.f. doc.no. 23/03722-6 and be included in the spreadsheet marked “Legal clarification”. The submitted clarification list should be clearly marked “Lot 1” or “Lot 2”. The proposed deviations should be explicit and with explanation as to why they are made. The tendered contract must be performed on the basis of the contract terms. The tenderer is allowed to propose explicit and well-explained deviations to the following listed competitive elements: - In the Contract Agreements, doc.no. 23/03722-15 (lot 1) and doc.no. 23/03722-38 (lot 2): • Section 5 [Contract Data] In terms of:  Liquidated damages and maximum liquidated damages (Clause 40, subclause (2)) under [Clause 40. The contractor’s liability in case of delay] - In Appendix 1 [General Conditions based on AB18], doc.no. 23/03722-16 (both lots): • Clause 12 [Services to be provided by the contractor] • Clause 26 [Obstacles] • Clause 31. Construction meetings • Chapter E [Extension of time and delay] • Chapter F [Handover] • Chapter G [Defects] • Clause 59 [The client’s right to terminate the contract] Deviations to these elements will be included in the evaluation and it is noted that any deviations may lead to a reduction of the score depending on the content, clarity, and consequence of the deviation. In this regard it is explicitly noted that deviations which are intended to limit liability and shift the financial risk in favour of the tenderer will be of particular importance in the evaluation. If the tenderer has no deviations to the contract terms, the maximum score of 10 will be awarded. An overall evaluation for each lot will be made of this sub-criterion.
