The aim of this contract was to provide the Danish Army with 12 (twelve) full-motion mobile Ku / Ka-band SOTM (SATCOM-On-The-Move) satellite terminals, with an option of additional 8 (eight). The Danish Army needs the SOTM satellite terminals to expand the current mobile tactical beyond line of sight (BLOS) communication capability using commercial and WGS (Wideband Global SATCOM) satellites. The SOTM terminals whould have been used on different types of wheeled vehicles e.g. Eagle IV. In addition to the SOTM terminals, the Supplier had to be able to deliver user and maintenance documentation, initial user and maintenance training courses, initial spare parts as well as software updates to the terminals for a period of 5 (five) years. Furthermore, in relation to the installation and integration of the SOTM terminals on the vehicles, the Supplier had to be able to deliver materials and necessary services, including documentation and helpdesk support (by e-mail and telephone).
DALO has decided to terminate the tender without an award. The reason for the termination is that the Danish Defence has decided to reevaluate the operational need and requirement for SOTM terminals, and has therefore initiated a study to decide on the future need for tactical communication. DALO can therefore not at this point in time say if there will be a future tender for SOTM terminals.
Please note that the number of "offers" stated in section V.2 is actually the number of request for participation, since DALO has decided to terminate the tender before the tender stage and therefore has not received any offers.
