Public procurement notice: Contract Award Notice
Published: 2017-11-03
Buyer: Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO)
Country: DK
Contract type: Supplies
Procedure: Open procedure
CPV classification: 35000000: Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment | 35110000: Fire-fighting and safety equipment | 35111500 | 35111510 | 38650000
Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The framework agreement will cover acquisition of new hand-held thermographic cameras and sustainment of these. The cameras will be used for locating fire, search for persons, search and rescue at sea and monitor temperatures for preventive maintenance and monitoring of electrical and technical equipment.
This tender has previously been published as a restricted procedure under Contract Notice 2016/S 126-225060 and discontinued in accordance with Award Notice 2017/S 067-126051. The current open procedure was published under contract notice 2017/S 108-216716.
The contract/framework agreement is not divided into lots as the tender is limited in the scope of goods and services and further subdivision into lots is not relevant. Furthermore, a division of the contract would undermine the economies of scale obtainable by procuring 1 contract.
DALO has decided to discontinue the tender procedure as only irregular offers have been received. In accordance with Section 61, subsection 1, No 2 and Section 61, subsection 4 of the Danish Public Procurement Act (in Danish ‘udbudsloven’), a competitive procedure with negotiation without prior publication of a contract notice will be initiated with the participant of the open procedure, who submitted a tender in accordance with the formal requirements of the procurement procedure, and complied with the requirements stipulated in section 159(2)(2)(1-3).
