Technical requirements: The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) tender for a framework agreement on the procurement of Beacons Survial Locator Beacon (SLB) or Personel Locator Beacon (PLB) and related accessories and services. The Agreement shall cover the requirements of the Danish Defence.
The current Beacon: (SLB) / PLB) is coming to a lifetime end within the next few years. DALO is expecting to purchase 700 – 1000 EA new beacons. The purchase will as well include: Technical services, Repair services, Maintenance services, Help Desk Services, Training and education services, Modification Services, and other services.
The Agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all divisions of the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all units of the Danish Defence subject to the command of the Chief of Defence is entitled to use the Agreement.
The Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) has decided to terminate the tender for “Beacons, Survival Locators Beacon (SLB) or Personal Locator Beacon (PLB)” without an award.
The reason for the termination is that all three incoming offers are deemed non-compliant with the requirements in the tender documents. It is DALO’s assessment that it is possible to remedy the mistakes, by proceeding to Competetive procedure with negotiation cf. the rules in The Danish Act no. 1564/2015 (as amended, on Public Procurement (in Danish: “Udbudsloven”)) §61, (2).
DALO plans to proceed to competitive procedure with negotiation with the three tenderers who made an offer.
