Quantity or scope
The built-up part of the areas constitutes some 1.12 million square metres. The ages of the buildings vary. Moreover, there are other small buildings equalling some 17,000 square metres.Service area A is anticipated to comprise, inter alia, current cleaning of building floorage of some 500,000 square metres and includes, inter alia, offices, classrooms, conference rooms, lavatories, hotel rooms and sick quarters. Furthermore, several times a year, there is final cleaning of the conscripts' barrack rooms. The service area also covers inside and outside window cleaning in the buildings. Finally, the service area is anticipated to include linen service, handling of mats as well as plants inside the buildings.There is a total of 13 sick quarters at respectively Ryes Kaserne, Haderslev Kaserne, Flådestation Frederikshavn, Flyvestation Aalborg, Holstebro Kaserne, Flyvestation Karup, Oksbøllejren, Skive Kaserne, Flyvestation Skrydstrup, Sønderborg Kaserne, Varde Kaserne and two at Aalborg Kaserne (Nr.

Besides, from some of the production kitchens, food is delivered to six serving kitchens of varying sizes.There are at present a few other points of sale, primarily messes, distributed throughout Western Denmark. These are run by, inter alia, staff associations (i.e. not the Contracting Authority). If, during the term of the contract, the operation of one or more of such points of sale is transferred to the Contracting Authority, the provider is expected to be given the opportunity to tender for this under a contract.There are some 14,000 employees and some 1,300 conscripts with fixed work place in Jutland. There are some 9,000 employees and some 1,000 conscripts with fixed work place in Sealand and Bornholm. It should be noted, however, that the Danish Defence is a dynamic business with considerable travel activity. In addition to domestic and international operations, there is heavy meeting activity all over the country. The aggregate customer basis in Western Denmark of some 15,300 persons (maximum load) thus depends on the number of conscripts and other groups - if any - present at the establishments. The primary task is to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner in the canteens to the permanent staff, conscripts and external visitors but there will also be a number of receptions, lunch meetings, coffee meetings and other special events, such as open house events and a large number of residential courses; the Danish Defence lets out rooms of hotel-like standard at 17 establishments in Western Denmark.There are currently conscripts at Ryes Kaserne, Flådestation Frederikshavn, Søværnets Sergent- og Grundskole, Holstebro Kaserne, Flyvestation Karup, Skive Kaserne, Sønderborg Kaserne, Varde Kaserne and Aalborg Kaserne (Nr. Uttrup Kaserne and Hvorup Kaserne). So far, the conscription groups have been in the order of approximately 100 – 650 persons and, previously, new groups started 2 - 3 times a year. The conscription issue is at present the subject of political debate. The above points of reference may therefore change.Service area C is, inter alia, anticipated to include intensive maintenance of green areas, including lawn mowing, maintenance of flower beds and pruning as well as snow clearing and de-icing, etc. on an aggregate area of some 30 million square metres.

The service area may also include nature and terrain maintenance covering an area of some 20,000 hectares. 18,000 hectares are included under Natura 2000.
