The estimated value of the framework agreement is DKK 5 700 000 — 11 400 000. The reason for the interval stated is the uncertainty regarding the actual value of the framework agreement. Hence, the lower limit of the interval constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the actual value of the framework agreement at the present moment, while the upper limit of the interval constitutes the expected maximum value of the framework agreement in its duration.
Please note, that each candidate can only submit one request for participation. If the same legal entity is a part of or in any other way participates in several applications, e.g. submits his own application and at the same time participates in a consortium which also applies, the candidates shall ensure that the same legal entity’s participation does not provide for opportunity for mutual coordination of their applications and offers.
DALO reserves the right to request the candidates to establish and reassure DALO that the same legal entity’s participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the tenderers.
DALO reserves the right – but is not obliged – to use remedies equal to the remedies provided for in Section 159(5) of the Danish Act No 1564 of 15 December 2015, the Public Procurement Act, if applications or tenders do not fulfil the formalities of the procurement documents.
Candidates are asked to submit their request to participate via ETHICS. The permalink is stated in section I.1).
DALO have prepared a pre-qualification questionnaire which candidates are strongly encouraged to use when submitting their applications. The questionnaire contains questions, forms and templates for providing information etc. in accordance with the requirements in this Contract Notice. However, it is emphasized that it is the sole responsibility of the candidate that the information provided fulfils the requirements.
According to the EU defence directive, a candidate may rely on the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional capacity of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links with the entities. If a candidate wants to rely on other entities and wishes that the capacity of other entities is taken into account when DALO assesses the suitability of the candidate, the candidate must prove that the other entities will and shall put the relevant resources at the disposal of the candidate. A template for a declaration from the supporting entity to this effect is included in the pre-qualification questionnaire referred to above.
The agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all divisions of the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all units of the Danish Defence subject to the command of the Chief of Defence is entitled to use the agreement.
