The operator(s) making its/their economic and financial capacity available to the tenderer must sign a letter of commitment, see further in the tender specifications. The form is enclosed as an attachment to the tender specifications. If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of requirements, see below, the tenderer and the entities in question will be required by the contracting entity to undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the contract. The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate. Upon the contracting entity's request, the following documentation of economic and financial capacity must be submitted: A statement regarding the operator's overall turnover in the latest annual report/financial statement available, depending on when the operator was established or started trading if the figures for this turnover are available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information in the latest annual report/financial statement available must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company, a sister company or a subcontractor), information for such other entities must be provided as well. Minimum requirement: As a minimum requirement, a total annual turnover of at least DKK 24 million is required in the latest annual report/financial statement available. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, the turnover is to be calculated as the total turnover of the tenderer and such other entities in the latest annual report/financial statement available.
