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.
The reason for the termination is that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the sub-criterion Technical performance not been tested and evaluated in a way that satisfies the quality that is required and that it cannot be ruled out that sub-par quality of the testing and evaluations might have materaily affected the overall evaluation.
Furthermore, due to the unforeseen wide spreading of prices in the received offers, the model for the evaluation of the sub-criterion Price is not fully able to reflect the price differences in the offers.
