Technical requirements: Framework agreement for the acquisition of ceremonial swords with scabbards and daggers with scabbards for the Danish Defence
The Danish Defence wishes to acquire a supply of ceremonial swords with scabbards and daggers with scabbards. The swords and daggers are used during official appearances e.g. under parades and ceremonies.
The new swords and daggers from the new contract, will be used together with swords and daggers from an earlier production.
Due to the specific use and purpose of the swords and daggers and the combination of old and new, it is imperative that the new swords and daggers, in design, finish and quality, have the same visual expression, as the swords and daggers have today. This also includes the structure of the swords and daggers.
The framework agreement is not divided into lots, on the grounds that a division of the contract, would entail disproportionate costs, due to subsequent contract administration.
