Technical requirements: Leasing of 2 Multi-Engine Aircraft for the Danish Air Force Home Guard (in Danish: "Flyverhjemmeværnet")
The Danish Air Force Home Guard (“DAFHG”) has conducted a tender procedure pursuant to contract notice 2014/S 058-096948 concerning a contract for lease of 2 multi-engine piston aircraft. The aircraft are intended to be used in primarily non-military operations, including surveillance, inspection, reconnaissance and light transport. The lessor shall also perform all maintenance of the aircraft during the lease, including scheduled as well as unscheduled maintenance.
The contract was awarded to CAE Aviation Sarl (“CAE”) on 31 July 2014. DAFHG published a voluntary ex ante transparency notice on 5 August 2014 (2014/S 148-266192) since the expected commencement date of the contract (8 July 2014) was postponed. The contract was entered into on 10 October 2014. The lease period is 5 years from delivery of the aircraft with a possibility of extension for another 2 years. A contract award notice was mistakenly not published at the time of signature of the contract.
