Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The objective of this tender is to ensure that DALO for the next 7 years will be able to provide handheld binoculars (further called binoculars) and handheld binoculars with built-in laser range finder (further called LRF-binoculars).
Binoculars and LRF-binoculars are to be used mainly by the individual soldiers as part of their personal equipment, both in real combat situations, as well as training, across all Danish Defence branches and in varying environmental and weather conditions across the globe.
The binoculars and LRF-binoculars are to be used along with the soldiers' and unit's other equipment, such as weaponry and sensors.
The binoculars and LRF-binoculars are to be used with a focus on surveillance, orientation, observation, fire control (utilising a built-in reticle) and identification of targets and are to be primarily utilised by infantry squad leaders and armoured vehicle commanders.
It is of paramount importance that DALO will be able to purchase relevant spare parts and accessories to the binoculars and LRF-binoculars as well as have the possibility to receive repair assistance and necessary training for user instructors and technical staff. Therefore, the framework agreement will have a sustainment part included.
As part of the tender procedure and prior to awarding the contract, tests will be conducted to evaluate and verify that the binoculars and LRF-binoculars included in the tenderers' offer comply with the demand of DALO and to evaluate the offers. The tests are scheduled to take place in the autumn 2018 and are expected to be conducted at the Danish Defence locations in Denmark.
The exact method and the intended tests will be described in the tender material. DALO intends to use the framework agreement for current purchases of binoculars and LRF-binoculars, but DALO shall not be obliged to buy any minimum quantity of binoculars nor LRF-binoculars.
Reference is made to the tender 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.
