This contract notice concerns a re-tender regarding a contract for the procurement of Consultancy Services for the acquisition of a Tactical Data Link (TDL) System for the Royal Danish Navy (RDN). The supplier of the TDL Consultancy Services shall continue the work already made by the present supplier when the present agreement no longer is effective. The present supplier has reviewed, prepared, and produced a long list of documents, summarizing to approximately 7,000 pages.
The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) will acquire and implement a number of TDL systems for the RDN within the next few years. The TDL to be purchased will be a standard Multilink System (MLS) with Link 16, Link 22, JREAP C and SIMPLE, which will be installed and tested on a number of ships in the RDN (by a ‘standard MLS’ DALO means a similar system to what has been developed, produced and sold to another costumer) and interfaced to a national Combat Management System (CMS). The acquisition of the TDL systems will be carried out according to the rules of directive 2009/81/EC (the EU defence and security procurement directive).
Prior to acquisition and implementation of TDL systems for the RDN, DALO will acquire TDL Consultancy Services. The supplier of the TDL Consultancy Services shall assist DALO in the acquisition process for the TDL systems.
The supplier of the Consultancy Services shall act as a costumer friend and TDL Subject Matter Expert (SME) during the acquisition process for the TDL systems, thus supporting and facilitating DALO and the RDN users during the entire acquisition process of the TDL systems, finalization of the tender procedure to receiving the equipment and setting it into operation. Furthermore, the supplier shall assist DALO with consultancy for development of the Terma CMS, as well as provide general TDL education during the acquisition process.
- aid for development of requirements for purchase of TDL-systems, related components and tools for simulation, test and analysis;
- exchange of knowledge and information on TDL and new developments in the industry, standards and experiences from other nations having the same systems;
- support DALO during the tender process with the dialogue with the tenderers, including answering technical questions from tenderers and participation in negotiations;
- support and advice DALO with the configuration, installation and integration of the TDL on the ships and for land based unit(s);

Eligibility requirements: 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 which candidate has documented the most relevant previous deliveries, cf. section IV.1.2). 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 clearly states which part (e.g. with regard to nature and quantity) 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 of the deliveries are similar to the services, described in section II.1.5). The description should also include 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 nature and quantity 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), and the description should include information about: - fraction of participation (prime contractor or sub-supplier), - description of the delivery, - technical content (TDL technologies), - interfaces (TDL interfaces to other systems), - EU tender (acquisition type), - recipient of the delivery (name, Navy/Airforce/Army and platforms). 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 five (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. Deliveries performed on an ongoing basis under a single framework agreement will be considered as one delivery (reference). If the list contains more than five (5) deliveries, DALO will only consider the first 5 (five) 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.
