Regarding section II.1.5): The estimated value of the framework agreement is 5 mio EUR to 8 mio EUR . The reason for the intervals 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  individual framework agreement lots at the present moment, while the upper limit of the interval constitutes the expected maximum value of the framework agreement in its duration.
The uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement is primarily caused by uncertainty re-garding the Danish Defence’ operational needs through the duration of the framework agreement, including un-certainty about specific deployments and mission areas in particular, which is not possible to foresee for the entire span of the framework agreement. Thus, changes to the operational needs of the Danish Defence compared to the existing situation and needs may cause a significant larger expenditure on the framework agreement than what is expected at the moment.
