Please note, that each candidate can only submit one request for participation. If the same legal entity is a part of or in any other way participates in several applications, e.g. submits his own application and at the same time participates in a consortium which also applies, the candidates shall ensure that the same legal entity’s participation does not provide for opportunity for mutual coordination of their applications and offers. DALO reserves the right to request the candidates to establish and reassure DALO that the same legal entity’s participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the tenderers.
DALO reserves the right – but is not obliged – to use remedies equal to the remedies provided for in Section 159(5) of the Danish Act no. 1564 of 15.12.2015, the Public Procurement Act, if applications or tenders do not fulfil the formalities of the procurement documents.
Candidates are asked to submit their request to participate via ETHICS. The permalink is stated in section I.1). The request to participate cannot be submitted by e-mail.
DALO have prepared a prequalification questionnaire which candidates are strongly encouraged to use when submitting their applications. The questionnaire contains questions, forms and templates for providing information etc. in accordance with the requirements in this Contract Notice. However, it is emphasized that it is the sole responsibility of the candidate that the information provided fulfils the requirements.
According to the EU defence directive, a candidate may rely on the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional capacity of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links with the entities. If a candidate wants to rely on other entities and wishes that the capacity of other entities is taken into account when DALO assesses the suitability of the candidate, the candidate must prove that the other entities will and shall put the relevant resources at the disposal of the candidate. A template for a declaration from the supporting entity to this effect is included in the prequalification questionnaire referred to above.
DALO demands that any person taking part in the performance of the contract/framework agreement must possess the appropriate personnel security clearance at the level required by DALO. The security clearance must be maintained throughout the term of the contract/framework agreement.
Regarding section II.2.1): The estimated value of the framework agreement is DKK 175-210 million. The reason for the interval stated is the uncertainty regarding the actual value of the framework agreement. Hence, the lower limit of the interval constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the actual value of the framework agreement at the present moment, while the upper limit of the interval constitutes the expected maximum value of the framework agreement in its duration.
Attention is drawn to the Investment Screening Act (Act. No. 842 of 10 May 2021) according to which certain companies are required to apply for permission from the Danish Business Authority prior to entering into “special financial agreements” within particularly sensitive sectors and activities. Further information can be obtained from https://businessindenmark.virk.dk/guidance/erst-activities-covered-by-the-investment-screening-act/Special-financial-agreements/.
