Technical requirements: These tender conditions apply to the contracting authority’s procurement of Digital Spring photography and AT 2025-29. The procurement procedure will be conducted as an open procedure in accordance with Part II of the Danish Pub-lic Procurement Act. The procurement procedure comprises only a tendering phase. Danish municipalities and Agency for Climate Data (KDS), via the joint cooperation GeoDanmark (http://www.geodanmark.dk), have established a common vector- and raster-dataset as a public geographical ad-ministrative basis for digital management (e-governance) in Denmark. For the maintenance of this dataset, full land coverage of digital spring aerial photos is tendered. The purpose of the tender is to create the necessary snow-, ice- and leaf-free high quality stereo aerial photos in digital form, without blurring effects (clouds, smog etc.) and with a contrast and brightness sufficient to distinguish details and objects corresponding to actual ground sample distance (GSD) of 15 cm and optional 10cm in certain parts. The aerial photos must be acquired during springtime in a very short timeframe during March, April and beginning of May. The results of the production based on this tender will in spring 2025 (and beyond) become input for both ortho photo and vector-map production. Ortho photo and vector mapping are tendered separately at a later time. This service was also tendered in parts or full in 2015 (parts), 2016 (full), 2017 (parts) and 2020 (full). The contract is 2 years with possible prolongation for addi-tional three years, one year at a time. To ensure the entire country is acquired with digital aerial photos, the con-tract will be split into five more or less identical lots based on how long time it will take to acquire with a stand-ard Plane and large scale photogrammetric camera, in this tender called acquisition unit (AU). A new feature in 2025, is the possibility for KDS to swap up to 8 blocks between suppliers for one year at a time, the purpose being to reduce co2 emission and thereby get an overall greener acquisition.
The service covers the entire country and all lots are spread out over the country
Pursuant to Consolidated Act no. 593 of 2 June 2016 on the Complaints Board for Public Procurement as amended, the following time limits apply to the filing of requests for a review procedure: Complaints about procurement procedures or decisions falling within Part II of the Danish Public Procurement Act which are not covered by subsection 1 of the Act, must, according to section 7(2) of the Act, be filed with the Danish Complaints Board for Public Procurement within: (1) 45 calendar days of the contracting authority having published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union to the effect that the contracting authority has entered into a contract. The time limit is calculated from the date after the date when the notice was published; (2) 30 calendar days, calculated from the date after the date when the contracting authority notified the affected tenderers that a contract based on a framework agreement with reopening of competition or a dynamic purchasing system has been entered into, if the notification contained a statement of the reasons for the decision. (3) six months of the contracting authority having entered into a framework agreement, counted from the date after the date when the contracting authority notified the affected candidates and tenderers, see section 2(2) of the Act, or section 171(4) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. (4) 20 calendar days calculated from the date after the contracting authority has announced its decision, see section 185(2), second sentence, of the Danish Public Procurement Act. If a contracting authority has complied with the procedure outlined in section 4 of the Act to ensure that a contract is not declared ineffective, see section 7(3) of the Act, an application for a review of whether the contracting authority has entered into a contract in contravention of the Public Procurement Directive without prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union must be filed with the Danish Complaints Board for Public Procurement within 30 calendar days calculated from the date after the date when the contracting authority has published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union stating that the contracting authority has entered into a contract, provided that the notice contains the reasons for the contracting authority’s decision to award the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. Not later than on the date of the filing of an application for a review procedure with the Danish Complaints Board for Public Procurement, the applicant must notify the contracting authority in writing that an application for a review procedure has been filed with the Danish Complaints Board for Public Procurement, see section 6(4) of the Act. Furthermore, the contracting authority must be informed of whether the application for a review procedure has been filed in the stand-still period, see section 3(1) or (2) of the Act, or during the period of 10 calendar days laid down in section 4(1)(ii). In cases where the application for a review procedure has not been filed in the above-mentioned periods, the applicant must also state whether the applicant has applied for a stay pending the outcome of the review procedure, see section 12(1) of the Act. The Danish Complaints Board for Public Procurement’s own review procedure guidelines are available on www.klfu.dk.
