This tender has previously been published as an open procedure under contract notice 2017/S 108-216716, which was discontinued as only irregular offers have been received, cf. contract award notice 2017/S 211-437988. In accordance with Section61(1)(2) and Section 61(4) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (in Danish "udbudsloven"), a competitive procedure with negotiation without prior publication of a contract notice was initiated with the participant of the open procedure, who submitted a tender in accordance with the formal requirements of the procurement procedure, and complied with the requirements stipulated in section 159(2)(2)(1-3), Avon Polymer Product Ltd.
A voluntary ex ante transparency notice has been published regarding the negotiated procedure, cf. 2018/S 018-037073.
The contract/framework agreement is not divided into lots as the tender is limited in the scope of goods and services and further subdivision into lots is not relevant. Furthermore, a division of the contract would undermine the economies of scale obtainable by procuring one contract.
DALO decided to discontinue the former open tender procedure (contract notice 2017/S 108-216716) as only irregular offers were received. In accordance with Section 61, subsection 1, no. 2 and Section 61, subsection 4 of the Danish Public Procurement Act (in Danish "udbudsloven"), a competitive procedure with negotiation without prior publication of a contract notice was initiated with the participant of the open procedure, who submitted a tender in accordance with the formal requirements of the procurement procedure, and complied with the requirements stipulated in section 159(2)(2)(1-3), Avon Polymer Products Ltd.
The value stated in II.1.7) and V.2.4) is an evaluation price only and does not constitute the exact value of the framework agreement nor a minimum committed purchase by DALO.
