According to Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of The European Parliament and of The Council, Article 110, Member States shall ensure that, when public warning systems (PWS) regarding imminent or developing major emergencies and/or disasters are in place, public warnings are transmitted by providers of mobile number-based interpersonal communications services to the end-users concerned.
For the purpose of processing and transmission of public warnings to the end-users using the cell broadcast technology – not location based SMS — the Danish authorities wish to acquire a ‘cell broadcasting entity’ (hereafter CBE) with associated services.
The CBE shall be delivered as a software solution that can be installed and hosted in DALOs own IT infrastructure, using Microsoft based technology. The solution is expected to be very robust and reliable, as it will be part of the national critical infrastructure. The system must follow the general principles for public warning systems as defined by the international standard ETSI TS 102 900, and must be aligned with principles and methods defined in this standard.
In addition to being a critical system it must be intuitive and fast responding, in order to ensure a seamless processing of the alerts needed to be handled via the solution.
The supplier shall assist in installing the CBE and shall secure the integration of the CBE with a number of other software systems including, but not limited to the Danish mobile network operators’ cell broadcast centers (CBC’s).
In order to guarantee an operational and resilient system on the ‘go live’ date, the system must undergo rigorous testing, in collaboration with both DALO and the Danish mobile network operators.
The supplier shall for the duration of the contract deliver, support and maintain a CBE for a warning system capable of warning nationally, regionally and locally within the Danish borders, not including Greenland or the Faroe Islands.
Option 1: Automated voice calling function, which allows outgoing, pre-recorded voice messages to a list of pre-defined phone numbers. The voice service may be implemented as an IVR (Interactive Voice Response).
Option 2: Siren interworking. Integration of the control of the existing Danish siren-based warning system into the Solution.
Option 4: SMS gateways: The solution shall enable the operator to send SMS messages directly from the operator screen.
Option 5: Dial out assistant. The Solution shall enable the operator to make a telephone voice call to a phone number in a dialing list.
Reference is made to the procurement documents regarding payment terms. Invoicing must be done in accordance with the applicable Danish legislation on public payments. At present, this is Danish consolidation act. No 798 of June 2007 which requires invoicing to be done electronically. Exact terms will be stated in the contract.
No particular legal form is required. If the contract is awarded to a group of suppliers (e.g. a consortium), the participants are required to undertake joint and several liabilities and to appoint one supplier to represent the group.
The contract must be conducted in consideration of corporate social responsibility and it contains a labour clause, please see Appendix 15 for further information.

Eligibility requirements: Annual reports or excerpts hereof or other documentation stating the candidate's equity ratio (calculated by dividing the candidate’s equity with the candidate’s total assets (equity/total assets x 100) at the end of the last 3 financial years, to the extent such information is available.
The candidate must have had an equity ratio of at least 15 percent for each of the last 3 financial years. The equity ratio is calculated by dividing the candidate's equity with the candidate's total assets (equity/total assets x 100). If the candidate is composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures, the equity ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of all the participants’ equities with the sum of all the participants’ total assets (sum of equity/sum of total assets x 100) in each of the last 3 financial years available. If the candidate relies on the economic and financial standing of an entity or entities, the equity ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of the candidate’s and the entity or entities’ equity with the sum of the candidate’s and the entity or entities’ total assets (sum of equity/sum of total assets x 100) in each of the last 3 financial years available. Please note that a candidate may rely on the economic and financial standing of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the candidate and the entity or entities on which the candidate relies.
A list of the most important similar deliveries (references), cf. section II.1.5), carried out prior to the deadline for the request to participate. Only the deliveries (references) performed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate will be considered when assessing. If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the services completed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate which will be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Consequently, if a part of the services has not been completed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate, this particular part will not be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Therefore, it is important that the candidate/tenderer clearly states which part (e.g. with regard to size, value, quantity or volume) of an ongoing delivery (reference) that has been carried out. The list should preferably include a short description of each delivery. The description of the deliveries should include a clear indication of which specific parts the deliveries are similar to the services, described in section II.1.5). The description should also including a description of the candidates participation/role in the performance of the deliveries. The description should also contain information on the date of the deliveries, the size/quantity/volume and value of the deliveries, the recipients of the deliveries (specific names/countries are preferred, but not necessary; if no country specific information is included, the candidate is asked to provide as much generic information as possible about the delivery). When specifying the date for the deliveries, the candidate should state the date for the commencement and completion of the deliveries. If this is not possible, e.g. because the delivery in question is performed on an ongoing basis according to a framework agreement, the description of the deliveries should nonetheless contain information on how the date is set. The list must contain a maximum of 5 previous deliveries, whether the candidate is one entity, composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures, or relies on the technical and professional capacity of other entities. If the list contains more than 5, DALO will only consider the first 5 deliveries on the list. Deliveries beyond that will be disregarded. Please note that a candidate may rely on the technical and professional capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the candidate and the entity or entities on which the candidate relies. The tenderers are requested to include contact information in the listed references, so that DALO may make contact and verify the infomation supplied by the tenderers.
