Summary
Machine-generated summaryDSB is tendering a contract covering mechanical maintenance of its own railway tracks at sites in Denmark. DSB has more than 100 km of tracks located at its workshop and servicing facilities. The work is to be performed by two nationwide suppliers, with awards made to a primary and a secondary supplier based on the best price-quality relationship. The primary supplier prepares the annual infrastructure (condition) report on preventive tasks and plans these with DSB in a yearly schedule. Tasks under DKK 500,000 go to the primary supplier; tasks above DKK 500,000 are competitively tendered between both suppliers through mini-competitions, which both must participate in. Corrective tasks also form part of the assignment.
