Udviklingsselskabet By & Havn I/S’s tender for Consultant Contract on technical advice and assistance regarding utility infrastructure, urban spaces, roads and landscape for Levantkaj

The consultant team shall ensure the basis for the establishment of good urban spaces with a focus on residents and visitors at Levantkaj, as well as ensure good connections to Inner and Outer Nordhavn with a focus on urban nature and biodiversity. The consultant team shall also provide technical advice and assistance within infrastructure, urban spaces and landscape at Levantkaj in relation to the Contracting Authority's upcoming construction projects, where a phased expansion of the project area is expected, and thus also the construction of infrastructure with roads, urban spaces, squares, utilities, etc. Levantkaj is centrally located in Nordhavn and is the next phase of the urban development of Nordhavn from industry to a modern city district. Levantkaj covers an area of approx. 34 ha. Levantkaj is currently used as a container terminal operated by Copenhagen Malmø Port. The Contracting Authority, together with the Environmental Administration, has initiated a local plan process for the first phase of the development of Levantkaj, which includes, among other things, the framework for the disposition of buildings, open spaces, traffic connections and urban spaces, scope and principles for greening, disposition of water areas, etc. The local plan “Levantkaj I” also includes the extension of the metro in Nordhavn to the terminus Nordsø Plads in Outer Nordhavn. The areas outside Levantkaj are not part of this project/tender. The local plan proposal “Levantkaj I” will enable approx. 350,000 sqm of residential, commercial and public functions, as well as approx. 50,000 sqm of parking houses in Levantkaj. The local plan will also enable the construction of a metro elevated line, a new metro station and pedestrian and cycle connections, which will be linked to the overall connections in Nordhavn. The local plan proposal will designate the area for a mixed residential and commercial area, school and football field, daycare institutions, church, sports complex, nursing home, etc. Two parking houses will also be established in the area. Recreational and green areas are a structuring feature of the plan, where a landfill for recreational use will be established in Skudehavnen, a recreational green connection between Skudehavnen and Levantparken, which will be the area's largest “habor park”, and Levantens haver, which are more intimate gardens with a focus on biodiversity. An internal road network will be established with connections to the surrounding traffic structure for cars and soft traffic, where trees are a recurring structuring element along the roads, continuing through the recreational areas. The local plan proposal is expected to be politically approved in Q3 2026, and the final local plan is expected to be adopted in Q2 2027. The consultant team shall commence the task upon contract award in Q3 2026. The local plan proposal is expected to be politically approved in Q3 2026, and the final local plan is expected to be adopted in Q2 2027. The consultant team shall commence the task upon contract award in Q3 2026. The tasks will be initiated for both consulting regarding utility infrastructure, urban spaces, roads and landscape. The task will be divided into sub-tasks with the first contractor tender expected in early 2027 regarding the conversion of the execution of the utility contract. At the start of the Consultant Contract, there will thus not be a final local plan or local plan proposal, and the consultant team shall thus take concrete inspiration from the master plan, which has been prepared to form the basis for the local plan proposal. Parts of the master plan are attached as Appendix A to the task description. The main services of the tendered Consultant Contract have an expected duration of 5 years, while supplementary services in the form of, among other things, assistance with technical supervision, advice on the contractor's rectification of defects, etc., are expected to have an additional duration of 3-5 years.
