The Danish Defence wishes to enter into  7 years Framework Agreements regarding magazines and Slings for Small Arms and Handheld Weapons.
The Danish Defence operates in various environments across the globe. The various environments and different needs from the operators demands for magazines  and slings to personalize the individual weapons to these environments.
The pre-qualified Tenderers will be required to deliver items for testing, and the test period is expected to be week 22, 2022. This range will be further specified in the tender materiel.
Regarding section II.2.1): The estimated value of the framework agreement for Magazines is EUR 5.000.000 and the maximum value of the framework agreement is EUR 8.000.000, and he estimated value of the framework agreement for Slings is EUR 1.000.000 and the maximum value of the framework agreement is EUR 2.000.000 . 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 consti-tutes 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 amongst others caused by DALO’s expectations to the tenderer’s offers being significantly different in terms of pricing due to the possibility of of-fering significantly different quality in the deliverables to be offered. Dependent on which tenderer that will be awarded the framework agreement, the expenditure on the framework agreement may be significantly larger than what is expected to be the most likely scenario.
Regarding section IV.3.6): Note, that the procure documents are in English. However, it is permissible to submit applications for participation and offers in either Danish or English. Questions submitted during the tender procedure shall be written in English.
Please note, that eah candidate can only submit one request for participation per lot. If the same legal entity is a part of or in any other way participates in several applications, e.g. submits his own application and at the same time participates in a consortium which also applies, the candidates shall ensure that the same legal entity´s participation does not provide for opportunity for mutual coordination of their applications and offers.
DALO reserves the right to request the candidates to establish and reassure DALO that the same legal entity´s participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the tenderers.
Candidates are asked to submit their request to participate via ETHICS. The permalink is stated in section I.1). The request to participate cannot be submitted by e-mail.
DALO have prepared a prequalification questionnaire which candidates are strongly encouraged to use when submitting their applications. The questionnaire contains questions, forms and templates for providing infor-mation etc. in accordance with the requirements in this Contract Notice. However, it is emphasized that it is the sole responsibility of the candidate that the information provided fulfils the requirements.
According to the EU defence directive, a candidate may rely on the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional capacity of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links with the entities. If a candidate wants to rely on other entities and wishes that the capacity of other entities is taken into account when DALO assesses the suitability of the candidate, the candidate must prove that the other entities will and shall put the relevant resources at the disposal of the candidate. A template for a declaration from the supporting entity to this effect is included in the prequalification questionnaire referred to above.
The Agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all divisions of the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all units of the Danish Defence subject to the command of the Chief of Defence, are entitled to use the Agreement.
Attention is drawn to the Investment Screening Act (Act. No. 842 of 10 May 2021) according to which certain companies are required to apply for permission from the Danish Business Authority prior to entering into “special financial agreements” within particularly sensitive sectors and activities.
