Femern A/S has received 17 tenders from nine major international contractors prequalified for the four major construction contracts for the fixed link across the Fehmarnbelt. Some of the consortia have chosen to tender for the whole project, whereas others have decided to focus on certain tasks. Over the coming months, Femern A/S will analyse the tenders with a view to engaging in a subsequent dialogue with the contractors. When Femern A/S has assessed the technical tenders and the dialogue is completed, the contractors will begin to calculate prices. Femern A/S expects to receive these in December 2014, so that a realistic construction sum for the works can be incorporated into the proposal for the Construction Act, which the Danish parliament, Folketinget, will consider at the beginning of 2015.
