//txtmark end
Non empty span 2II.1.4)
Information on framework agreement
Framework agreement with a single operator
Duration of the framework agreement
Duration in years: 15
Justification for a framework agreement, the duration of which exceeds seven years: As described in section II.1.5) below,
DALO will award 1) a framework agreement concerning the acquisition of the vehicles, initial spare parts and documentation
(the ‘Acquisition Contract’) and 2) a framework agreement concerning certain services and additional spare parts related to
the vehicles (the ‘Sustainment Contract’).
The length of the Acquisition Contract will not exceed 7 years.
With regards to the Sustainment Contract, this framework agreement will have a duration of 15 years with a possibility for
renewal twice, each for an additional 5 years (15 + 5 + 5). DALO has determined that such a duration is justified based on the
following grounds in particular:
The APVs are expected to have a life span of approximately 15 years (and potentially even longer). DALO therefore has a
need for sustainment that exceeds 7 years.
Due to the numbers of APVs to be delivered — as well as the expected development costs associated with the requirements
concerning the level of APV protection — both the Acquisition Contract and the Sustainment Contract represents a very
large investment for the supplier. This creates the need for a longer write-off period than usual which also motivates a
contract period exceeding 7 years.
Furthermore, a great deal of knowledge and experience will be gathered throughout the contract period, in particular in
relation to continued developments concerning the APV. The need to minimize the technical and logistical difficulties that a
change of supplier will result in also supports the need for a contract period longer than 7 years.
In addition, only spare parts for the APVs that are deemed by DALO to be critical for the use of the APVs in terms of weapon, road- and personnel/material safety will be included in the full duration of the Sustainment Contract. All other spare parts
will only be included in the Sustainment Contract for a period of 7 years after which they will be procured via a new tender
procedure.
Estimated total value of purchases for the entire duration of the framework agreement
Estimated value excluding VAT:
Range: between 450 000 000 and 1 550 000 000 DKK
Frequency and value of the contracts to be awarded: DALO expects to make an initial purchase of up to 36 APVs
immediately after contract signing (as a supplement of the existing fleet for the Danish Army). It is expected that the
Supplier shall deliver a pre-series version of the APV in 2018 prior to the delivery of the first batch with expected delivery in
2018/2019. Further purchases of additional APVs are expected at later stages.
//txtmark end
Non empty span 2II.1.5)
Short description of the contract or purchase(s):
This contract notice concerns DALO's award of framework agreements for the procurement of an 4 x 4 armoured patrol
vehicle (APV) system (consisting of different configurations of the APV), initial spare parts and documentation as well as
sustainment services, training and additional spare parts for the APVs procured.
Procurement will be based on 2 agreements/contracts. Thus, DALO will award 1) a framework agreement concerning the
acquisition of the APVs, initial spare parts and documentation (the ‘Acquisition Contract’) and 2) a framework agreement
concerning certain services and additional spare parts related to the APVs (the ‘Sustainment Contract’). The Acquisition
Contract and Sustainment Contract are to be seen as a whole and will be awarded to the same supplier.
The supplier shall offer the APV in the following configurations (text in brackets are functional descriptions):
— Patrol (Command and control (2C), Liaison, Troop Transport. 4-5 persons).
— Electronic warfare (Collect military intelligence from enemy communication systems through monitoring and processing
their networks in order to support the Danish Contingent (DANCON) and external partners. 4-5 persons).
— Support (Line Logistic Equipment transport. 2-3 persons).
— RECCE open (The vehicle will primarily act in the role of a scout vehicle, covering Light Reconnaissance. Conduct
protective security and escort support during advance and withdrawal as well dismounted as mounted. Surveillance. 5-6
persons. Armaments, as in weapons, are expected to be the same as on the Patrol configuration, e.g. heavy machine gun on
top).
— RECCE closed (Light Reconnaissance. Conduct protective security and escort support during advance and withdrawal as
well dismounted as mounted. Surveillance. 5-6 persons).
The APVs in configuration patrol, electronic warfare, RECCE closed and support shall have Level 4a/4b mine protection, and
Level 3 Ballistic protection when mission ready according to STANAG 4569 AEP 55 vol. 1 edition 2 or later edition. The RECCE
open configuration shall have minimum Level 2a/2b mine protection, and Level 2 Ballistic protection when mission ready,
according to STANAG 4569 AEP 55 vil. 1 edition 2 or later edition. Meaning that the chassis (underbody) shall be designed
with and provide the same protection as the RECCE closed configuration. Covered areas including ballistic windows
(windshield) and the side of the vehicle shall provide the same protection as corresponding areas on the RECCE closed
configuration.
Please note that certificates issued by a third party institute documenting the protection level required for the Patrol
configuration, shall be presented to DALO no later than at the deadline for submission of Best And Final Offers (which is
currently scheduled for January 2017). With regards to the other configurations such certificates shall be presented to DALO
at the time of delivery, which — if these configurations are purchased — will be September 2018 at the earliest.
The certification must be approved by a National Authority. The National Authority shall be a government appointed expert
from a NATO or PFP country. DALO is willing to act as a National Authority to facilitate evaluation of the certification. If
certification has not already taken place, and, if DALO will not be acting as the National Authority, DALO would like to be
present during the certification process as an observer. Please also note that it will be viewed positively in the evaluation of
offers, if the APV has been subject to an overmatch test.
The APVs (all configurations) shall be certified for transport by C-130J, at the time of delivery. For one APV to be certified for
transport by C-130J it shall not weigh more than 5896 kg. on each Axel and be located between loadstation 537-882 in the
airplane.
The main engine shall as minimum fulfil EURO III emissions norm.
The APVs shall be fully operable in climate zones Intermediate (A3), Mild cold (C0), Intermediate cold (C1) according to
AECTP-230.
Furthermore, the APVs shall comply with requirements related to occupational safety and environmental aspects.
Prior to delivery of APVs, the supplier shall install a variety of equipment that is furnished by DALO. This equipment could,
for instance, include remote controlled weapon stations, battle management systems, radio equipment, etc. The type of
equipment will depend on the configuration in question.
The APVs will function in a full-spectrum operational environment from war to humanitarian missions with multiple and
diverse threats presenting themselves. This demands that the APVs are flexible, highly mobile and agile in the terrain.
Also — since the APV is expected to be in use for at least 15 years — development potential in terms of payload (minimum
200 kg + mission configuration), power supply and integration of future technologies are considered essential.
As stated in section II.1.4) above, DALO expects to make an initial purchase of up to 36 APVs with expected delivery in 2018
as a supplement of the existing fleet for the Danish Army. The initial purchase is expected to be of APVs in the PATROL
configuration, but DALO may decide that some of the APVs shall be in another configuration. During the lifetime of the
Acquisition Contract, DALO retains the right to order additional APVs (in different configurations within the vehicle system).
The supplier shall have a full system responsibility. The exact terms and conditions for the supplier's system responsibility
will be described in detail in the contracts.

impact on this Requirement. The link below to the Gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC.

Short description of the contract or purchase(s):
This contract notice concerns DALO's award of a contract covering the acquisition and sustainment of the Danish
implementation of the NATO BRASS EO.
The Danish implementation of the NATO BRASS EO system will be the strategic maritime HF communication system for the
Royal Danish Navy ensuring backwards compatibility with NATO BRASS Initial Core Capability (ICC) and NATO legacy systems.
The purpose of the contract is to facilitate a multiple, continuous, robust, strategic and independent long range radio
communication capability — under national control — between shore authorities and Danish naval units operating in
Danish, North Atlantic and Arctic waters, as well as designated waters for worldwide support during operations covering
from combat operations to peace operations and humanitarian operations.
It is crucial to DALO that the accquisition is interoperable with Danish and NATO naval units. Therefore, the implementation
is driven by the NATO Minimum Military Requirements (MMR) and NATO Broadcast and Ship Shore Enhancement One
Target Architecture (BREITA).
Also, it will be viewed positively that the system offered by the tenderer — to the furthest extent possible — is already fully
developed and put into operational use.
The BRASS EO system is to be installed at 1) 2 control sites ashore; one in Denmark and 1 in Greenland, at 2) the naval
training facility in Denmark and 3) on all major naval units.
Thus, delivery of the system must take place at several locations within the Kingdom of Denmark. Delivery in Denmark
includes an Automated Control and Management System (ACMS) site in Aarhus with a transmit and a receive site in
Frederikshavn. Delivery in Greenland includes an ACMS site in Nuuk with a transmit and a receive site in Kangerlussuaq.
Furthermore, the system is to be installed on an expected number of 13 mobile units, which are located at either Naval Base
Korsoer or Naval Base Frederikshavn at the time of the installation. The naval training facility is also located at the Naval
Base Frederikshavn.
The majority of the sustainment services are expected to be delivered at the sites ashore and/or delivered remotely to
mobile units. However, the supplier must be obligated to deliver certain sustainment services on site to mobile units either
in national or in international operations. Further details regarding the specificic places of delivery will follow in the tender
documents. The BRASS EO system, including installations, initial spare parts packages, special tools and test equipment
(STTE), documentation and initial training, will be procured on the basis of an Acquisition Contract. In addition, DALO wishes
to enter into a Sustainment Contract allowing for the subsequent procurement of additional spare parts and STTE,
sustainment services, including maintenance services and support, and optional deliveries for the system throughout a
period of up to 15 years, which is the expected life time of the system. The 2 contracts should be seen as a whole and will
both be awarded to the successful tenderer.

Negotiated procedure:
This tender is conducted according to the negotiated procedure, cf. Directive 2009/81/EC, Article 26. The tenderers who will
be invited to submit tenders will receive further practical information regarding the negotiated procedure in the Instructions
to Tenderers, including information on the submission of tenders. DALO reserves the right to award the contracts on the
basis of the initial offers (INDO1) without negotiation.
Pre-Qualification Questionnaire:
DALO have prepared a pre-qualification 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. The questionnaire may be obtained from the contact person named
in section I.1) above.
Submission of applications for pre-qualification:
Requests for participation may not be submitted by e-mail. Instead, requests for participation must be sent by post (or
handed over) to the contact person named in Annex A, section A.III). Requests for participation should preferably be
submitted in a sealed envelope marked ‘BRASS EO — Request for participation. Must not be opened in the reception’.
Candidates are kindly asked to submit their application in 2 paper copies and 2 digital copies (USB token, CDROM or
equivalent).
Re. Section III.2): Relying on the capacities of other entities:
According to the EU public procurement directives, a candidate may rely on the economic, financial and/or technical
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 are obliged to 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 pre-qualification
questionnaire referred to above.
Contact information:
When submitting contact details, candidates are encouraged to submit as much information as possible and preferably also
the e-mail address of the candidate's contact person.
Non-compliance with formal requirements:
DALO reserves the right — but is not obliged — to use the remedies provided for in Section 12 of the Danish statutory order
on procedures for the award of public supply contracts, public service contracts and public construction contracts (Order no.
712 of 15.6.2011) if applications or tenders do not fulfil the formalities of the tender material.
Subsequent short listing of the pre-qualified candidates/tenderers:
After the pre-qualified candidates (the tenderers) have submitted their first indicative offer (INDO1), the number of
tenderers is expected to be reduced to 3 based on the award criteria applicable at the time. These tenderers will be invited
to negotiation meetings and testing.
Testing:
The shortlisted candidates will be required to prepare a test version of their system which must undergo a series of tests as
part of the evaluation.
