Requirements for cutters spreaders, combi tools and rams are derived from EN 13204 or equivalent. The tender is divided in to 2 lots. Lot 1 for hydraulic rescue tools and Lot 2 for battery powered rescue tools.

Regarding section II.1.5): The estimated value of the framework agreement is DKK 20 000 000-DKK 30 000 000. The reason for the interval stated is the uncertainty regarding the actual value of the framework agreement. Hence, the lower limit of the interval constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the actual value of the framework agreement at the present moment, while the upper limit of the interval constitutes the expected maximum value of the framework agreement in its duration.
The use of the ESPD is a precondition for participation in the procurement procedure, cf. § 148 of the Public Procurement Act. DALO shall require that the tenderer apply the ESPD as preliminary evidence that the tenderer is not subject to the grounds of exclusion stipulated in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act. The tenderer and, if relevant, the participants in the group of entities or/and entities on which the candidate relies on, must use the electronic version of the ESPD available at Ethics’ web portal. The ESPD shall be fulfilled and submitted at ETHICS’ web portal in accordance with the instructions given by Ethics. The tenderer may submit an ESPD for each lot.
Prior to decision on award of the contract, DALO shall require that the tenderer to whom DALO intends to award the contract presents documentation for the information stated in the ESPD, cf. §§ 151-155 of the said Act. DALO shall exclude a tenderer from participation in the procurement procedure, if the tenderer is subject to one of the compulsory grounds for exclusion in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act unless the tenderer has provided sufficient documentation that the tenderer is reliable in accordance to § 138 of the said Act. Please note that certain voluntary exclusion grounds in Directive 2014/24/EU on public procurement have been made
