The equipment, tools and accessories for the Horse Guard is mainly in regards to the sadel making workshop at the Horse Guard. This could eg. be leather and other textiles, yarn, threads, cushins, rings and seats for saddles and repair of uniforms.

DALO is keen to use standard off-the-shelf products, however DALO will need good quality products so parts, components etc. (as a whole refered to as Delivery Items) are not a liability for the soldiers. It is not a requirement that the tenderer offers Spare Parts of OEM quality, however if the tenderer does not offer OEM Spare Parts the offered Spare Parts must be of Equivalent Quality.

Due to DALO´s need of supply redundancy DALO intend to enter into parallel framework agreements for each Delivery Item with up to three separate suppliers (in a cascade model) and/or to perform a light/mini-competion among all the winning tenderers after the contracts are signed.

DALO do not expect any one tenderer to be able to supply all Delivery Items listed in the final tender material. Therefore DALO do not expect any of the Delivery Items in the tender to be mandatory. DALO expect that tenderers will be free to decide which delivery items to offer.

Please also note that all your answers will be kept commercially confidential by DALO and in compliance with Danish laws.

DALO emphasizes that participation in this RFI will not influence your participation in a possible upcoming tender.


When you have completed the RFI, please submit the document electronically through the Ethics Web Portal no later than Friday Juli 12th 2024.

If you have any questions or need clarification regarding this RFI you can contact DALO via the following e-mail: FMI-SD-LA12@mil.dk
DALO expect to use the spare parts for repair of the military vehicles and for the Horse Guard. The spare parts will therefore be used in many different military installations across Denmark.
