The Fund for African-Danish Relations through mutual ExChange of Culture and the Arts (ARCH) is Denmark’s initiative to strengthen equitable, long-term cultural partnerships with countries in Africa where Denmark is represented through an Embassy or a Consulate General, or in special cases, in other African countries where projects may be considered to be of particular importance. It is a four-year program anchored in Denmark’s Development Policy Strategy “A Changing World – Partnerships in Development” and its “Africa’s Century” strategy. ARCH is implemented through a dedicated Fund Manager (FM). The FM will be responsible for day-to-day implementation and must ensure full compliance with MFA’s principles and requirements for results-based management and financial accountability, as defined in the Aid Management Guidelines (AMG) for bilateral programmes and projects and Financial Management Guidelines (FMG). The contract period runs from August 2026 to December 2030. ARCH positions culture and the arts as a development end in itself based on the intrinsic value of culture for societies, communities and individuals and its ability to foster mutual understanding and appreciation for a diversity of cultural expressions and cultural heritage. At the same time, ARCH is also a strategic tool for contributing to a wide range of sustainable development goals and Danish development priorities related to areas such as promoting innovation, social cohesion and inclusive economic growth, and fostering intercultural dialogue and strengthened diplomatic relations that can bring about mutual benefits. ARCH is implemented in countries in Africa, where Denmark is represented through an embassy. At present, these include Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia and South Africa. In special cases, projects in other African countries may be considered if they demonstrate an extraordinary ability to achieve the object

10Consultancy framework agreement for formulation, appraisal and review of Danish development cooperation programmes and projects
Ministry of Foreign AffairsCopenhagenDeadline: Sep 16The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (MFA) is in the process of streamlining the management of its development cooperation. Part of this effort concerns the simplification of the procurement process of key consultancy services relating to development cooperation. Consultancy contracts are currently procured individually by the case worker responsible for the programme or project. Case workers are MFA staff from MFA services at home in Copenhagen and abroad. In the procurement of individual contracts, they are responsible for the choice of procurement modality, the planning, preparation and management of the tender and contracting process. This process is often lengthy, and can have implications on programme and project timelines. Moreover, the fragmentation of the process makes it difficult to use the feedback from case workers on the fulfilment of the assignments. This makes it challenging to harvest learning from past performance and ensure a sustained quality of services. It is in this context that the MFA wishes to consolidate the procurement of consultancy services through a framework agreement with multiple contractors. The streamlining of the management of Danish development cooperation entailed a revision of the Danida – Aid Management Guidelines (https://amg.um.dk/). This foresees a delegation of key tasks to external consultants, primarily appraisals, and thereby an expected rise in the number of consultancy services to be requested. It is therefore an opportune time to seek a more streamlined procurement process of consultancy services. AMGs contain the policies, guidelines, and tools for the MFA’s development cooperation assistance. They cover different forms of Danish development cooperation modalities. The AMG’s Bilateral Guidelines (https://amg.um.dk/bilateral-cooperation/guidelines-for-programmes-projects-country-strategic-frameworks-and-hard-earmarked-multilat-support) and Financial Management Guidelines (https://amg.um.dk/bilateral-cooperation/financial-management) constitute the basic set of procedures for all Danish bilateral development cooperation. The guidelines outline the processes and requirements for the preparation, formulation, quality assurance, approval, implementation, completion and closure of Danish bilateral programmes and projects. The framework agreement is expected to solely cover bilateral development cooperation programmes and projects designed and implemented by Denmark. Therefore, the expected scope of work of consultancy services solely pertains to Official Development Aid (ODA) funds. The framework agreement is also expected to be divided into two lots. Under each lot, the MFA expects to conclude a framework agreement with between three to seven contractor to establish the terms governing contracts to be awarded during the term of the framework agreement, specifically the terms for award of contracts with/without reopening of competition amongst the contractors on the framework agreement. The expected lots reflect the thematic areas and priorities of Denmark’s Strategy for Development Cooperation: Lot 1: Climate change, environment, private sector development, enabling environment and financing. Lot 2: Governance, response to conflicts, forced displacement, irregular migration, health and education. Each lot is expected to require the provision of the following services pertaining to the design and implementation phases of bilateral development cooperation programmes, namely: Formulation of bilateral programmes and projects. This may include preparatory work in the formulation process if and as needed. Appraisal of the design of bilateral programmes and projects as a quality assurance milestone prior to approval. This includes external appraisals and early appraisals of larger or high-risk programmes/projects. Review of bilateral programmes and projects under implementation. This can span inception, midterm and technical reviews as part of the MFA unit’s monitoring and reporting cycle. The estimated values of the procurement and the lots are preliminary estimates.Development and Implementation of an EU Business-to-Business and Market Access Support Programme for South African Biotechnology Companies

De Danske Kongers Kronologiske Samling på RosenborgKøbenhavn KDeadline: Jul 30The purpose of this invitation to tender (ITT) is to select a lead consultant with responsibility for the development and form of exhibition design for The Kingdom’s Treasury at Rosenborg Castle for The Royal Danish Collection. See also appendix 4. Project Brief. The exhibition is part of the overall development of the project for a new version of The Kingdom’s Treasury at Rosenborg Castle site, which will create new exhibition spaces for artefacts with unique historic, cultural and national significance from the Royal Danish Collection. Rosenborg Castle’s new treasury is intended as an experience that visitors will find impressive and moving. The appointed exhibition designer will be responsible for developing the interpretation concept and exhibition design in close collaboration with the Royal Danish Collection and relevant stakeholders, including foundations, the Agency for Culture and Palaces and other associated consultants. The contract involves the development of the narrative and spatial design concept and detailed planning as the basis for tender and production of exhibition equipment. The commission also includes consultancy in connection with the purchase, production and installation of all the exhibition elements included in the project scope. Production and installation are expected to be put out to tender as an all-inclusive contract or as partial contracts, and the Exhibition Designer will be required to assist in the preparation and execution of these contracts. The tender process for the exhibition design is carried out before the conclusion of the competition for the design of the building that will house the exhibition. The process will therefore be based on an exhibition area with a fictitious floor plan. Importantly, it should be noted that the tenderers are not expected to present a finished proposal but rather ideas, concepts and proposals that will be developed in a collaborative process with the Royal Danish Collection and the appointed lead consultants for the building contract. The Royal Danish Collection is not legally obligated to put this contract out to tender but has chosen to do so, following the regulations in the Danish Public Procurement Act. The design Contract must be tendered as a single whole, as there must be one responsible Supplier for the design deliverable. Accordingly, it is not divided into multiple consultancy agreements, as this would not result in a coherent expression for the exhibition. At Byggeweb, the name of the tender is: TN122881A The Kingdoms Treasury - Exhibition DesignTraining and development services for the delivery of the Creative Climate Action Fund III (2026-2029) to the Creative Ireland Programme
Department of Culture Communications SportKillarneyThe Creative Climate Action Fund III (2026-2029) is a key deliverable for the Creative Climate Action and Sustainability pillar of the Creative Ireland Programme. This fund seeks to build on the premise that transformational action on climate change requires cultural change throughout society, and with the ambition to utilise the potential of the arts, creativity and heritage to inspire and empower the culture change needed to transform to a net zero Ireland by 2050. A key finding of the evaluation of the first fund was the need for training and development of project leaders to ensure that this investment realises the object of building enduring capacity in the sector. There will be organisations from different sectors in receipt of the grant funding including: arts and cultural organisations, local authorities, research institutions, environmental groups and community development organisations. We envisage that there will be up to 15 projects funded. These projects teams have a good knowledge of climate action. However, a consistency of understanding of the policy objectives and best-practice methods of project delivery will be essential to the success of the fund. Therefore, this training and development package will: * Ensure a consistency of technical knowledge across all project teams * Ensure a consistency of approach to be taken on dialogue between projects and with communities the projects are engaging and facilitating dialogue with, to ensure that this aligns with the approach taken in the National Dialogue on Climate Action (NDCA) * Ensure full understanding of the policy framework as set out in the Climate Action Plan 2025. * Support individual projects in their approach to data collection and evaluation * Support project management and communications functions within individual projects * Provide a supportive network for the projects to facilitate collaboration and sharing of skills, knowledge and best practice It is envisaged that that the training wilConsultancy Services for Fund Management of three new Business Instruments
Ministry of Foreign AffairsCopenhagenDeadline: Aug 04The Ministry of foreign Affairs, Green Diplomacy and Climate wishes to engage a Consultant (Fund Manager) to implement three business support instruments (E1, E2, and E4) as part of the Danish Government’s Strategy for Development Cooperation, “A Changing World”, appeals to Danish private companies and investors to increase their engagement and investment in the Global South, helping bridge gaps and contribute to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including climate action. The vision is that businesses which invest and expand their commercial engagements in the Global South will make significant contributions to national development agendas, including jobs, income opportunities through development of sustainable local value-chains, economic and social spin-offs from increased salaries and taxes, innovation, new technologies, and productivity-enhancements, and expansion in services. More specifically, the Strategy along with the Danish Government’s Action Plan for Effective and Economic Diplomacy seek to leverage the shared space between development cooperation and economic diplomacy, by promoting Danish companies’ investments and trade in developing partner countries. To this end, the Danish Government has initiated an initiative to strengthen business support through five business support instruments. The instruments are designed with focus on making it easier and more attractive for Danish companies to engage in emerging and developing markets, by reducing risks and clarifying and activating market potentials through partnerships, pilot projects, and business instruments providing co-investment financing and technical advice. The total amount allocated for the total initiative is DKK 850 million, of which DKK 550 million is allocated for instruments related to this tender. The five instruments focus on: E1) Early pipeline development to enlarge the pool of viable business cases; E2) Development, testing, and launching of inclusive and sustainable business models through partnerships between Danish businesses and non-commercial actors; E3) Access to finance, better enabling companies to invest and do business in high-risk Global South markets; E4) Demonstrating scalable, private sector-developed solutions with and for public authorities; and E5) Leveraging private and philanthropic capital. The five instruments are designed and should to the extent possible be managed to ensure synergies and coherence, both mutually and with the wider set of Danish private sector support engagements. The implementation of instruments E1, E2, and E4 will be managed under a Fund Management (FM) contract (Agreement) while instrument E3 and E5 will be managed by Impact Fund Denmark. This reflects a wish to concentrate the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ role on the policy and strategic management functions and to externalise the administrative and operational management functions to implementing agents. The purpose of the Agreement is to carry out the implementation and management of the three instruments, E1, E2, and E4, based on the underlying project documents and MFA Aid Management Guidelines (AMG). The Consultant will provide effective, transparent and accountable challenge fund management, covering proactive outreach and communication; call and application process implementation; contracting of selected actors/partnerships; supervision, guidance, and technical and project management backstopping of projects supported; administrative and financial management at facility level; results management and monitoring at level of each instrument; learning across the portfolio; and risk management. The objective of the Agreement is to manage and implement effectively and with accountability and transparency instruments E1, E2, and E4 and to achieve their defined objectives and results and in compliance with the MFA AMG. The Consultant’s overall tasks are: • Manage the full grant cycles of the instruments based on the project documents, including the application/call processes, with focus on efficient management, effectiveness, and accountability for funds and results. • Provide all administration of the funds including overall financial management, controls including state subsidy compliance, and verification and approval of project workplans, budgets, and reports as well as disbursements to the actors which, depending on the case, is the sole grantee, or in case of partnerships, the appointed administrative partner (commercial or non-commercial). • Provide for achievement of results as defined in the Results Framework in project documents of the instruments. • Provide outreach and communication to relevant segments of commercial actors including small/medium-size enterprises, highlight positive lessons, and ensure sharing of relevant knowledge and information that generate interest and effective participation in the instruments. • Provide relevant business and project management support and guidance to actors supported under the instruments. • Provide overall quality assurance of projects supported. • Maintain full compliance with MFA AMG and FMG, ensuring high standards of financial management, procurement, anti-corruption, and risk mitigation. • Provide relevant information and data to KLIMA on concrete projects and overall status based on request and through half annual and yearly reporting and meetings. • In relation to mid-term review or other MFA monitoring activities implement recommendations. The Agreement is divided into two phases. Phase 1 will cover the period 2027-2030 with an optional phase 2 covering up to 2035 guided by a planned mid-term review in 2029.Headwear for the Danish Defence

EnerginetFredericiaThe Danish Hydrogen Backbone project (DHB) is a comprehensive effort to establish a hydrogen infrastructure in Denmark, connecting planned large-scale hydrogen production in Denmark, produced from renew-able energy sources such as wind and solar, with the German and European hydrogen markets. The project is part of the European hydrogen infrastructure and significantly contributes to the EU's goals of climate neutrality and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The full backbone is planned to extend all the way from underground storage in the northern part of Denmark (Lille Torup) to the German border (Frøslev), but a political decision has been made to initially focus on building the southern part of the system (DHB1) and thereby having this part operational by the end of 2030. The scope of services for the framework agreement has an intention of describing all phases of the DHB-1 project from detailed design to testing and commissioning for the purpose of taking the hydrogen transmission asset into operation, thus the framework agreement is also intended to be used for the remaining part of the Danish Hydrogen Backbone project and therefore covering the full backbone. For further information please see Scope of services – Appendix 2, sec. 2.1. The Contracting Authority wants to purchase verification and certification services from an independent, third-party agency in order to satisfy those verification and certification requirements laid down under the compliance plan. For further details regarding the tender, reference is made to the tender documents.
