Technical requirements: This contract notice concerns the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) award of two Framework Agreements for procurement of 'Lot 1 Ruggedized Laptop with Docking Station' and 'Lot 2 Ruggedized Tablet with Docking Station' for the use by the Danish ARMY. By Ruggedized Mobile Computers (RMC), DALO understands a laptop or tablet PC which functions as a traditional PC but is built to be mounted in land vehicles, ships, or other types of vehicle and built to withstand such harsh environments. The RMC will be used with Windows and/or Unix based Operating Systems in combination with DALO software, i.e. C2IS applications. This Tender covers several parts of Ruggedized Mobile Computer equipment, including; PC's which are to be used primarily in Armored Personnel Vehicles (APV) and other types of vehicles and are therefore specially designed to withstand the impact of mines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), vehicle vibration, extreme temperatures, dust, water, etc. The products must meet a wide range of military standards, including several methods of MIL-STD-810 dealing with ruggedness; Protection against vibration, shock, sand, etc., MIL-STD-461 dealing with electromagnetic radiation, MIL-STD-1275D on military vehicle power systems and MIL-D-38999 dealing with plugs and cables.
The Laptop will primarily be used when installed in a vehicle but will also be used in dismounted situations. The Laptop will be connected to peripheral devices which function as the user interface to the Laptop when docked.
The Docking Station will be permanently installed in vehicles. The Docking Station will function as the interface between the RMC and the vehicle’s internal network for which reason DALO demands ruggedized connectors between the Docking Station and the network and between the Docking Station and the RMC.
The Tablet will primarily be used when installed in a vehicle but will also be used in dismounted situations. Both while docked and dismounted, the Tablet will function as the user interface.
The Docking Station will be permanently installed in vehicles. The Docking Station will function as the interface between the RMC and the vehicle’s internal network for which reason DALO demands ruggedized connectors between the Docking Station and the network and between the Docking Station and the RMC.
The estimated value of the the two framework agreement for Lot 1 40-48 million DKK and Lot 2  18-25 million DKK, in total for both Lots 58-73 million DKK. The reason for the interval stated is the uncertainty regarding the actual value of the framework agreement. Hence, the lower limit of the interval constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the actual value of the framework agreement at the present moment, while the upper limit of the interval constitutes the expected maximum value of the framework agreement in its duration.
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.
When submitting the offers (but not the request for participation), the tenderers must submit a solemn declaration stating (1) that the tenderer is not subject to any of the reasons for exclusion stated in art. 39(1) or 39(2) of the Defence and Security Directive (2009/81/EC) and (2) to which degree the tenderer has unpaid overdue debt in relation to tax, duties or social security contributions under Danish law or under the law of the country in which the tenderer is established. A template for the declaration will be provided with the procure documents, and the tenderer is encouraged – but not obliged – to use it. If the tenderer is composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures, a solemn declaration must be submitted for each participating entity.
Be advised that DALO shall exclude a tenderer which has unpaid overdue debt of 100 000 DKK or more to public authorities in relation to tax, duties or social security contributions under Danish law or under the law of the country in which the tenderer is established, unless the tenderer has provided collateral for the overdue debt, will provide collateral for the overdue debt or has entered into an installment agreement, which has not been breached at the time of submitting the offer.
