Technical requirements: The Danish Ministry of Defence, Acquisition and Logistics Organization (hereafter DALO) is preparing the acquisition of 81mm mortar systems, including a full ammunition portfolio and other associated products and services, for the Danish Army based light infantry battalion.
DALO expects to acquire 81 mm smooth-bore bipod mortar systems with sighting units and ballistic calculators. The mortar systems and ammunition should be as light and agile as possible due to the fact that soldiers are light infantry with light and small vehicles.
DALO plans to tender a framework agreement in accordance with the Directive 2009/81/EC on the coordination of procedures for the award of certain works contracts, supply contracts and service contracts by contracting authorities or entities in the fields of defence and security.
As part of the preparation, DALO hereby requests information from potential suppliers to be used for the preparation of the tender documents. This includes information about potential suppliers’ ability to deliver mortar systems and other associated products and services as described above. The purpose of this request for information (RFI) is to find out what the market can deliver, how DALO ensures receipt of the best possible offer as well as how the best possible framework agreement can be arranged for DALO and DALO‘s future supplier. In addition, DALO seeks information regarding the size and financial capacity of potential suppliers.
Please see section VI.2) for further information, including information on how to participate in the RFI.
With reference to II.6), the date is the expected date for publication of the contract notice. The date may be subject to change.
Potential suppliers who wish to participate in DALO’s RFI should access the electronic tendering system via the following link: https://eu.eu-supply.com/ctm/supplier/publictenders?B=KA.

As a potential supplier, you must first log in to the electronic tendering system. If you do not have a login, you must first register online. A quick guide for suppliers is available here: https://eu.eu-supply.com/img/brandings/ka_quickguide_en.pdf

Completed RFI questionnaires, including supplementary documents, should be submitted via the system no later than 21 February 2022 at 13:00hrs. Danish local time.
DALO does not currently plan to arrange subsequent dialogue meetings with participants. However, DALO reserves the right to do so, if further insight into the information obtained from the RFI questionnaire is deemed desirable. In this case, DALO reserves the right only to invite a limited number of participants. DALO may also request supplementary information from participants in writing.
DALO emphasizes that it will not influence your participation in a possible future tender or purchase, should you decline to participate or only partly fill out the RFI questionnaire.
