The candidate shall submit a National Security Authority/Designated Security Authority (NSA/DSA) Certificate of Security or NATO Certificate of Security as evidence of the candidate’s security clearance.
As an alternative to the certificate referred to above, the candidate can instead submit information regarding the security clearance as documentation; this information shall enable DALO/DDIS to verify the security clearance, if relevant, and should include the following information:
— particulars of the NSA/DSA/NATO unit (contact details, point of contact who is available for the inquiry of DALO/DDIS, etc.) (the candidate hereby confirms that the point of contact has been informed of the potential inquiry (in English) from DALO/DDIS),
— the name and level of the issued security clearance (including the case/file number which can be used for inquiries),
— other possible information or description relevant for the DALO/DDIS verification of the security clearance.
In connection hereto, DALO has prepared a template A (Information regarding the candidate security clearance) which candidates are strongly encouraged, but not obligated, to use as part of their applications. The template A is to be used at the same conditions as the PQQ, cf. section VI.3) of the contract notice.

DALO will accept a security clearance issued by the National Security Authority/Designated Security Authority (NSA/DSA) in the country in which the tenderer is located. However, DALO reserves the right to ask the DDIS (Danish Defence Intelligence Service) to verify whether or not the security clearance stated by the tenderer is equivalent to the level of NATO Restricted. Please note, that if any inquiry from the DDIS to the issuing NSA/DSA/NATO unit has not been sufficiently and unconditionally replied to within 10 working days from the inquiry, this may lead to the disqualification of the candidate in question.
If the candidate is composed of a group of entities (e.g. a consortium), including temporary joint ventures, each participant must hold the required security clearance.
As described in section VI.3.3) above, DALO has decided to amend the documentation requirement related to the requirement regarding the candidate’s security clearance at the time of the deadline for the request to participate, cf. section III.2.3) of the Contract Notice. As a consequence hereof, DALO has decided to prolong the time limit for requests to participate until 5.5.2020, 13:00 o’clock (Danish local time). This is done in order to ensure that DALO will receive enough applications for participation and thus ensure efficient competition under the tender procedure.
