Direct award of procurement of a gas engine for Energi Ikast Varme A/S

Energi Ikast Varme A/S, the contracting authority, is undertaking the renovation of the Moselund Combined Heat and Power Plant. As part of this project, the authority intends to procure a new gas engine for the production of electricity and heat. As a utility company and a supplier of heat, Energi Ikast Varme A/S is subject to the Utilities Directive, specifically Article 8. The estimated purchase price for the gas engine is approximately DKK 7 million, excluding VAT. This value exceeds the threshold for EU procurement under the Utilities Directive, as stipulated in Article 15(a). The contracting authority plans to utilize a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, in accordance with Article 50(c)(ii) of the Utilities Directive. This approach is being taken because Energi Ikast Varme A/S has identified that INNIO Jenbacher GmbH & Co, hereafter referred to as "Jenbacher," is the sole supplier capable of providing a gas engine that meets the contracting authority's specific technical specifications. The procurement process is therefore being conducted as a direct award to Jenbacher, based on the unique suitability of their product for the project's requirements at the Moselund Combined Heat and Power Plant.

This is a supplies contract in the energy and power and general supplies sectors, with a focus on Power Generation and General Supplies. Located in Denmark, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of DKK 7.0 million.
