The framework agreement contains requirements regarding labour clause, CSR requirements, international sanctions as well as provisions regarding risk assessment and follow-up actions; reference is made to appendix B and appendix B1 for further information. In the procurement of the framework agreement the risk profile is assessed to the following follow-up action risk level: C. See section VI.3 and “Additional information” for further information.
Regarding section II.1.5): The estimated value of the framework agreement is kr. 19 mio. and the maximum value of the framework agreement is kr. 55 mio. The reason for the difference between the stated values is the uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement, cf. below. Hence, the estimated value constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the value of the framework agreement at the present moment, while the maximum value constitutes the maximum value of purchases under the framework agreement in its duration.
The uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement is primarily caused by uncertainty regarding the Danish Defence’ operational needs through the duration of the framework agreement, including uncertainty about specific deployments and mission areas in particular, which is not possible to foresee for the entire span of the framework agreement. Thus, changes to the operational needs of the Danish Defence compared to the existing situation and needs may cause a significant larger expenditure on the framework agreement than what is expected at the moment.
The framework agreement contains requirements regarding labour clause, CSR requirements, international sanctions as well as provisions regarding risk assessment and follow-up actions.
