Technical requirements: The Danish Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has been requested to procure two coastal patrol boats (CPB) for The Royal Danish Navy (RDN) for Frontex operation, under RDN flag.
The CPBs are intended to operate on alert as part of the Frontex operation in coastal waters in the Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea. The CPBs are required to operate in all climate conditions from freezing conditions in the winter to very warm and humid tropical conditions during summer.
The concept is a fast CPB (minimum 30 knots in significant wave height (Hs) of 0,5 meter) with a length between 15 and 22 meters to perform border and law enforcement functions in all weather conditions. The CPBs are expected to perform coastal surveillance including a wide variety of other operations such as SAR (Search And Rescue), law enforcement, maritime safety, environmental protection, maritime accident and disaster response, fisheries control etc. The variety of operations sets high demands for the CPBs’ ability to be a safe and reliable platform for the crew to work from.
Besides the CPBs, DALO wishes to procure an initial training package (maintenance and operational part) and a one-year service agreement for the CPBs, including periodic maintenance, spare parts and onsite services, with the option to extend the services with one more year.
It must be emphasized that time of delivery is of essential interest to DALO and RDN. Accordingly, DALO is seeking a possibly already de-signed and preferably previously build CPB that with certain adaptions to the specific requirements of the tender can be produced and delivered in short time.
It is DALO’s expectation that the CPB’s shall be delivered in Greece. However, the place of delivery may be changed, cf. the draft contract.
For the purpose of achieving the best possible competition, DALO will choose a number of candidates for participation in the tender procedure based on the candidate’s size. Thus, the candidates will be divided into the following groups of enterprises based on information about the candidates’ number of full time employees, turnover and balance sheet total: (1) microenterprises, small enterprises and medium-sized en-terprises and (2) large enterprises. The definition of the said groups is partly based on the Commission Recommendation of 6 May 2003 (2003/361/EC) and is described in full detail in the document “Additional information”, which is located at the EU-Supply-webportal, cf. section I.3). It is underlined that it is the definition described in the said document that is applicable.
If DALO receives fewer applications for participation within a group than the number of candidates DALO has assigned to that particular group, DALO will not invite additional candidates from other groups. However, DALO will deviate from this rule if this is necessary to be able to invite three candidates to the tender procedure. Thus, if DALO only receives applications from group 2, DALO will choose three candidates from group 2.
The candidate must in the ESPD, Part V: Reduction of the number of qualified candidates, state in the textbox for further information, which group of enterprise the candidate is defined as. See the document “Additional information” available on the EU-Supply-webportal, cf. section I.3), for further information on this.
The limitation of candidates within each group of enterprises will be based on an evaluation of which candi-dates have documented the most relevant previous deliveries, alternatively completed designs made according to a purchase of an vessel of said design in comparison to the contract described in section II.1.4) and section II.2.4) above. DALO will deem references of deliveries of higher relevance than designs that have not yet been delivered, and DALO will deem not yet delivered designs that are far in the construction phase of higher relevance than designs that are more premature. In the evaluation of deliveries, DALO will take into account the time of delivery so that more recent deliveries will be deemed more relevant than older deliveries. The evaluation will be based on the list submitted by the candidates in the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) according to section III.1.3).
DALO will especially deem it positively, that the candidates show previous deliveries, alternatively designs, of coastal patrol boats within the lengths and with the speed capabilities described in section II.2.4. Furthermore, it will especially be deemed positively that these boats are designed specifically for the tasks described in sec-tion II.2.4 or similar tasks related to the performance of military or police coast guarding tasks.
Please note that any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities in the information submitted may be regarded negatively in the evaluation when selecting the limited numbers of candidates.
The value in section II.1.5) and II.2.6) is DALO's estimate of the contract price. In this regard it shall be noted that DALO will not accept offers with a total evaluation price, cf. the Instructions to tenderers with enclosures, of more than DKK 50.000.000
The candidate must use the European Single Procurement Document (electronic version, hereafter ESPD –) and provide the following information in the ESPD:
Its equity ratio (calculated by dividing the candidate's equity with the candidate's total assets (equity/total as-sets x 100) at the end of the last financial year, to the extent such in-formation is available, cf. Part IV, section B.
