Technical requirements: The Danish Embassy in Uganda requires the delivery of vehicles for its engagements in Northern Uganda under the Northern Uganda Resilience Initiative (NURI) programme and the Democratic Governance Facility (DGF) which covers all the regions in the country.
The contract has been divided into three lots: (1) Double Cabin Pickups, (2) Minibuses, and (3) Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs).
In order to ensure that vehicles are provided on market terms, the contracting authority will for each lot enter into two parallel framework agreements (with the two tenderers who submitted the most and second most economically advantageous tender during the procurement procedure), and reopen competition between the two suppliers.

In addition, the Customer expects to procure fifteen (15) vehicles during the contract period of the Double-Cabin Pickup type. The number of vehicles (and the total value of the framework agreements) are only estimated and not guaranteed by the Customer. Thus, the Customer does not guarantee that the number of vehicles or the estimated total value is correct or that the actual expenditure will correspond to the estimated total value.
The vehicles will be used in all types of terrain in Uganda, including in remote areas on rough and muddy gravel roads. The vehicles should be suitable for continuous and strenuous operations in general ‘on and off’ road in tropical conditions, in all areas of Uganda. The vehicles should be of sturdy construction and good quality.
The vehicles must be the manufacturer’s production models that are offered for sale to the public, and able to be legally driven on public roads (street legal).
The Customer expects to procure ten (10) vehicles during the Contract Period of the Minibus type. The number of vehicles (and the total value of the framework agreements) are only estimated and not guaranteed by the Customer.
