The Contract encompasses 2 main contractual agreements — the Acquisition Contract and the Sustainment Contract (Annex Z to the Acquisition Contract). These two agreements are to be seen together as a whole that regulates the contractual relations between the Supplier and DALO.
The Acquisition Contract concerns primarily the delivery of artillery systems and initial logistics, such as documentation, training, support, initial spare parts, etc. The Acquisition Contract regards the delivery of 15 artillery systems. DALO has the option to order up to 6 additional artillery systems.
The Sustainment Contract covers the products and services that DALO needs in order to properly operate theartillery systems. The Sustainment Contract encompasses core services and non-core services as well as the possibility for DALO to purchase supplies (spare parts, special tools etc.) for a period of 10 years.
The date stated under section V.1) is the date for the commencement/signing of the Contract. DALO dispatched notification of the result of the tender procedure on 14.3.2017.
The value stated under section II.2.1) and V.4) is the technical evaluation price calculated in connection with the tender evaluation, The value of the Contract is by DALO deemed to amount to 400-600 000 000 DKK.  (This is however only an estimate.)
By taking the expected service life of the artillery systems, the technical difficulties which a change of supplier may cause and the ensurance of an effective competition into account, DALO deems that a 10 years duration of the appertaining sustainment contract is justified in accordance with article 29 of directive 2009/84.
