Technical requirements: This tender concerns a framework agreement  regarding the purchase of several types of field dressings, compressed gauze and bandages to be used within the Danish Defence as first aid. The agreement requires the capacity to deliver all stated products in the tender documents in their entirety, and has conditions related to delivery times.
The field dressings, compressed gauze and triangular bandage, are used by the Danish Defence as first aid in the field to stop hemorrhaging and bandage wounds, and for other medical training of combat units.
The field dressings and compressed gauze are important items of the various first aid kits issued by the Danish Defense.
The first aid kits are a collection of supplies designed to treat or limit various combat injuries. Each item in the first aid kits is sized to fit the dimensions of the kit, whereas all the packaged items in this requirement specifi-cation have fixed dimensions.
The Agreement has certain conditions related to delivery times, and requires the capacity to fully deliver bandages, compresses, and field dressings in the following sizes:
The tenderer shall in connection with the tender proces deliver 5 of each product described in appendix A “Requirement specification” in connection with the submission of the offer. All information regarding the product samples can be found in the document Instructions To Tenderers.
The Agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all authorities under the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all units of the Danish Defence subject to the commands of the Chief of Defence shall be entitled to use the Agreement for the purchase of products included in the Deliverables on the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
Regarding section II.1.5): The estimated value of the framework agreement is kr. 5 mio. and the maximum value of the framework agreement is kr. 10 mio. The reason for the difference between the stated values is the uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement, cf. below. Hence, the estimated value constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the value of the framework agreement at the present moment, while the maximum value constitutes the maximum value of purchases under the framework agreement in its duration.
The uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement is primarily caused by uncertainty regarding exactly how extensively the deliverables of the framework agreement will be distributed in the Danish Defence. If decision is made that the deliverables in question shall be utilized by more groups of personnel than what is actually decided for now, this will lead to a significant larger expenditure on the framework agreement than what is expected at the moment.
The tenderer must together with the tender submit an ESPD as preliminary evidence of the circumstances set out in § 148(1) (1-3) of the Public Procurement Act. The tenderer and, if relevant, the participants in the group of entities, must use the electronic version of the ESPD available at ETHICS’ web portal. The ESPD shall be fulfilled and submitted at ETHICS’ web portal in accordance with the instructions given by ETHICS. . If the tenderer is a group of entities (consurtiums), each participant’s ESPD document must be signed by the participant in question. It is not necessary for the participant submitting the tender to sign his ESPD document.
Prior to decision on award of the contract, DALO shall require that the tenderer to whom DALO intends to award the contract presents documentation for the information stated in the ESPD, cf. §§ 151-155 of the said Act. Please see the document “Additional information”, which is located at the ETHICS-webportal, cf. section I.3), for further information on the matter.
Regarding section III.2.2): As part of the submission of an offer the tenderer must submit a self-declaration on compliance with labour clauses, CSR obligations and international sanctions. If the self-declaration is not submitted or is inadequate, the tenderer cannot be taken into consideration for the Framework Agreement. However, in this connection DALO reserves the right, at any time during the tender process, to let the tenderer rectify a missing or inadequately completed self-declaration.
When associations of several entities (eg. Consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate as one tenderer, the self-declaration must be filled out separately for each of the participating entities.
The Framework Agreement is not divided into lots on the grounds that a division of the contract would entail disproportionate costs due to subsequent contract administration
If the same legal entity is a part of or in any other way participates in several offers, e.g. submits his own offer and at the same time participates in a consortium which also submits an offer, the tenderers shall ensure that the same legal entity’s participation does not provide for opportunity for mutual coordination of their offers. DALO reserves the right to request the tenderers to establish and reassure DALO that the same legal entity’s participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the tenderers.
