Technical requirements: The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) is tendering a framework agreement for consultancy services within engineering. The framework agreement will provide DALO with special qualifications for a given assignment. These qualifications will either consist of engineers or technicians whereas the assignments will be within engineering in a broad meaning.
The supplier will be the primary provider of consultancy services and it is therefore expected that the supplier is able to offer the right qualifications for a given task. This framework agreement is however not exclusive and DALO is not obliged to buy a minimum of consultancy services. The engineering or technician consultancy services will consist of different assignments within following areas:
The framework agreement is not divided into lots on the grounds that a division of the contract would unduly increase the cost of the procurement procedure.
The Agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all divisions of the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all divisions of the Danish Defence subject to the command of the Chief of Defence is entitled to use the Agreement.
The tenderer must use the European Single Procurement Document (hereafter ESPD — electronic version eESPD) and provide the following information in the eESPD:
Its general yearly turnover for the last 1 (one) financial year to the extent such information is available, cf. Part IV, section B.
Annual reports or excerpts hereof or other documentation stating the tenderer's general yearly turnover for the last 1 (one) financial year if publication of annual reports is required under the law of the country in which the tenderer is established, and to the extent such information is available. When groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate in the tender procedure together, the documentation must be provided for each of the participating entities. If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial standing of another entity or entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), the documentation must equally be provided for each entity or entities. Be advised that DALO at any time during the procurement procedure can request that the tenderer presents the above mentioned documentation if this is deemed necessary to secure that the procurement procedure is conducted correctly. In this situation, DALO will set an appropriate time limit for the submission of the documentation.
Please note that a tenderer may rely on the economic and financial standing of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the tenderer and the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies. In this case, the tenderer shall ensure that an eESPD from the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies is submitted along with the tenderers own eESPD. The entity or entities' eESPD must equally provide the information listed above.
The tenderer must have had a general yearly turnover of at least 15 000 000 DKK in the last 1 financial year. If the turnover is not stated in said currency, DALO will calculate the turnover based on the official exchange rate on the date this notice was published.
If the tenderer is composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures, the general yearly turnover is calculated as the sum of all the participants' general yearly turnover in each of the last 1 financial year available.
If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial standing of an entity or entities, the general yearly turnover will be calculated as the sum of the tenderer's general yearly turnover and the entity or entities' general yearly turnover in each of the last 1 financial year available.
The tenderer must use the European Single Procurement Document (hereafter ESPD — electronic version eESPD) and provide the following information in the eESPD: A list of the most important similar deliveries (references), cf. section II.1.4) and II.2.4), carried out within the past 3 (three) years, prior to the deadline for the request to submission of the offer, cf. Part IV, section C. The list should preferably include a short description of each delivery. The description should include a clear indication of which specific parts of the deliveries that are similar to the services as described in section II.1.4) and II.2.4), of which the tenderer has submitted an offer. The description should also include a description of the tenderers participation/role in the performance of the deliveries. The description should contain information on the date of the deliveries, the size and value of the deliveries, the recipients of the deliveries (specific names/countries are preferred, but not necessary; if no country specific information is included, the tenderer is asked to provide as much generic information as possible about the delivery), duration and complexity of the service. When specifying the date for the deliveries, the tenderer should state the date of commencement and completion. If this is not possible, e.g. because the delivery in question is performed on an ongoing basis according to a framework agreement, the description of the deliveries should nonetheless contain information on how the date is set. Only the deliveries (references) performed at the time of the deadline for submission of the offer will be considered when assessing if the minimum requirement for suitability stated below is fulfilled. If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the services performed and completed at the time of the deadline for the submission of the offer which will be included in the assessment of the delivery. A tenderer may rely on the technical and professional capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the tenderer and the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies. In this case, the tenderer shall ensure that an eESPD from the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies is submitted along with the tenderers own eESPD. The entity or entities' eESPD must equally provide the information listed above. If the tenderer relies on the educational or professional qualifications, or professional experience of another entity or entities in relation to the performance of specific aspects of the services described in section II.1.4) and II.2.4) of which the tenderer has submitted an offer, the specific aspects of the services shall be performed by the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies. The tenderer will not be required to present further documentation for the technical and professional capacity (i.e. the information stated in the eESPD is considered sufficient). However, DALO reserves the right to contact the tenderer and/or the recipients of the deliveries in order to verify the information stated in Part IV, section C in the eESPD, including details on the specified dates of the performance of the deliveries.
The candidate must demonstrate experience with minimum 3 similar deliveries within the past 3 years, prior to the deadline for the submission of the offer. The information must be stated in the European Single Procurement Document, section IV.C. Similar deliveries shall be interpreted as delivery of consultants to The Danish Defence (including DALO) or other public institutions or similar complex organizations, with a workload of minimum 200 hours or more per delivery and consisting of tasks for engineers and/or technicians within one or more of the following: Electrical technology, ship engineering, aircraft engineering, machine- and production engineering.
If prepayments are made, an on-demand guarantee from a recognized financial institution must be presented. The financial institution has to be approved by DALO. Reference is made to the tender documents with regard to the 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. No particular legal form is required. If the contract is awarded to a group of suppliers (e.g. a consortium) the participants are required to undertake joint and several liabilities and to appoint one supplier to represent the group.
DALO demands that the tenderer and each of the legal entities whose capacities the tenderer relies on undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the contract.
