Technical requirements: Delivery terms for all the framework agreements are FCA (Incoterms 2010). Delivery will therefore take place at supplier's place/premises.
As part of DALOs business development of the ammunition area, DALO has started focusing on the various ammunition types that are consumed by the Danish Defence. This has enabled DALO to structure the ammunition consumption and spending into several categories, of which 4 of the main categories are now tendered for in 4 different categories/lots (hereinafter referred to as Category Contracts). Thus, each Category Contract regards a separate lot.
A Categories Contract constitutes a group of ammunition items, sharing specific measurements, usages, etc., along with services related hereto.
Each Categories Contract has its separate contractual agreement between the supplier and DALO and there will be separate pre-qualification for each Category Contract. A maximum of 4 candidates will be pre-qualified for each Category Contract. A candidate will be able to tender for 1 or more or all Category Contracts.
A) Mandatory items within the category. This is a list of mandatory ammunition items that the supplier must be able to deliver.
B) Non-mandatory items within the category. This is a list of all other ammunition items within the category restrictions (covered by the category descriptions below), that the supplier wishes to make available for DALO to procure.
A) Mandatory services that the supplier must be able to deliver. These services are specific to the ammunition category items.
B) Non-mandatory services that the supplier is suggested to deliver, and services that the supplier is able to offer.
The contractual framework for each ammunition category area is very similar, as the Category Contracts are structured in the same way.
For all 4 Category Contracts, the ammunition is to be used for education and training, as well as for missions for the Danish Armed Forces and for the Home Guard both domestic and abroad.
Each category contract is constructed as a framework agreement with a duration of 4 years with 3 ‘options’ for a 1-year prolongation. It is however DALO's expectation that the Category Contracts' duration is the full 7 years (i.e. 4 years + 1 year +1 year +1 year).
It is DALOs intention, that this tender is the starting point for further development of the ammunition business area at DALO.
