Technical requirements: The objective of this Framework Agreement is to ensure that DALO for the next seven years will be able to provide handheld Binoculars and compact handheld Laser Range Finders. Both the Binoculars and the Laser Range Finders are to be used mainly by the individual soldiers as part of their personal equipment, both in real combat situations, as well as training, across all Danish Defence branches and in varying environmental and weather conditions across the globe.
The handheld Binoculars and the Laser Range Finders are to be used along with the soldiers' and unit's other equipment, such as weaponry and sensors.
The handheld Binoculars are to be used with focus on surveillance, orientation, observation, fire control (utilizing a built-in reticle) and identification of targets and are to be primarily utilized by infantry squad leaders and armored vehicle commanders.
The Laser Range Finders are to be primarily used with focus on momentary range measurement prior to engaging the target with the dismounted infantry squad's handheld weaponry such as a 7,62mm light machine gun, as well as relevant target identification using the distance data.
It is of paramount importance that DALO will be able to purchase relevant spare parts and accessories to the handheld Binoculars and Laser Range Finders as well as have the possibility to receive repair assistance and necessary training for user instructors and technical staff. Therefore the Framework Agreement will have a sustainment part included. As part of the tender procedure and prior to awarding the contract, tests will be conducted to evaluate and verify that the handheld Binoculars and Laser Range Finders included in the tenderers' offer comply with the demand of DALO and to evaluate the offers. The tests are scheduled to take place in the early Spring 2018 and are expected to be conducted at the Danish Defence locations in Denmark. The exact method and the intended tests will be described in the tender material. DALO intends to use the Framework Agreement for current purchases of handheld Binoculars and Laser Range Finders, but DALO shall not be obliged to buy any minimum quantity of handheld Binoculars and Laser Range Finders.
The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has decided to termi-nate the tender for acquistion of Binoculars and Laser Range Finders without an award. Notice has been sent to the Official Journal today.
The reason for the termination is that the future Defence Agreement might influence the economy as stated in the Contract Notice. DALO has therefore chosen to terminate the tender procedure without an award.
DALO will intitatie a new tender for acquisition of Binoculars and Laser Range Finders and DALO is hoping that you will take the opportunity to participate in the new tender procedure.
