Technical requirements: Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistic Organization (DALO) wishes to establish a framework agreement forat period of 4 years regarding renovation of faulty Saab AAB Training batteries, Producers part number: 8740087-114 / Nato Stock Number: 6140-22-125-6935.
In the Danish defence these batteries are used as the power source for most of the target material used forexercise/shooting practice.
The Battery cells used for the replacement must be of the same type, (identical type from SAFT/Arts Energy), as the cells originally used in the battery.
The Offer shall also include a offer on disposal of the batteries that are ‘not cost effective to repair’.
DALO has decided not to divide the contract into lots  as the tender is limited in the scope of services and further subdivision into lots is not relevant.
Regarding section II.1.5): The estimated value of the framework agreement is kr. 4-6 mio. The reason for the interval stated is  uncertainty regarding final value of the  agreement, cf. below. Hence, the lower limit of the interval constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the actual value of the agreement at  present moment, while the upper limit constitutes the expected maximum value of the  agreement in its duration.The uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework  is primarily caused by uncertainty regarding  how extensively the deliverables of the framework agreement will be used in. If decision is made that the deliverables in question shall be utilized by more groups of personnel than what is decided for now, this will lead to a  larger expenditure on the framework agreement than what is expected at the moment. Regarding section IV.2.4): Note, that the procure documents is in English. However, it is permissible to submit offers in either Danish or English. Questions submitted during the tender procedure shall be written in English and DALO will answer these questions in English.
