Public procurement notice: Contract Award Notice

Buyer: The Embassy of Denmark in Uganda
Country: UG
Contract type: Supplies
Procedure: Restricted procedure
CPV classification: 34000000 | 34411000 | 50115000: Repair and maintenance services of motorcycles
Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The Embassy of Uganda only received non-compliant offers in the tender published on the 17 December 2019 (contract notice 2019/S 243-596588). The Embassy of Uganda has therefore deemed it necessary to cancel the previous tender. Due to the cancellation the delivery of needed motorcycles will be delayed. This will affect the new extension staff, counting over 100 employees, who have joined NURI as of 1 March 2020. The staff cannot be deployed in the field to undertake core duties until the motorcycles have been delivered. The delays in staff deployment will have a direct impact on the agricultural development activities in Uganda and the ability to meet the target and objectives of the NURI project. Consequently, there is an urgent need to receive the motorcycles as soon as possible to ensure targets are successfully met and field work is implemented as planned. Critically the project will fail to realise its intended impact because it will miss out on the 2020 agricultural season.
The Danish Embassy in Kampala wishes to enter into a framework agreement for the supply of approximately 150 motorcycles in the agreement period, which is running from the signing of contract until 31 December 2022.
The motorcycles will be used for implementation of a wide range of activities related to projects and programmes supported and financed under Danida in Uganda. Most of these motorcycles are expected to be primarily used on rough and remote roads in Northern Uganda and they should be able to drive on rough and muddy gravel roads.
The motorcycles should be suitable for continuous and strenuous off-road driving in tropical conditions, in all areas of Uganda but especially in the Northern parts. The motorcycles should be of sturdy construction and good quality.
