Contract for the delivery of a Low Pressure Pneumatic Launcher (LPPL) for the Royal Danish Navy

The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO)

The Danish Defence has since the late 1950's been supplying the naval artillery with flying and sailing target drones located at the Naval Weapon Centre (NWC) at Gniben, Sjællands odde (Zealands Point), Denmark. The drones are handled by Værnsfælles Droneafdeling (‘VFD’, in English ‘Joint Aerial Targets Branch’). VFD is currently operating Banshee 600 and Jet 40 Banshee air target drones from NWC but can also launch from outside the NWC as a mobile unit. VFD is flying in excess of 100 missions a year to service both the Navy and the Air Force.
At present VFD is using a bungee launcher. This existing launcher has been in service since 1999 and is showing signs of wear and tear. Furthermore, the development of the target drones has caused an increase in weight of the drones and the existing launcher has reached its limits. DALO therefore wishes to acquire a Low Pressure Pneumatic Launcher (‘LPPL’) as replacement for the existing launcher.
The new launcher will primarily be operated from the NWC, but will also be supporting operations on board the Navy's vessels when needed.
The LPPL supplier shall also be able to deliver spare parts, special tools and test equipment (if any) as well as training and technical support to DALO for a period of 7 years after commencement of the agreement. The agreement contains 2 options for extension, in which each will cover a period of 4 years, meaning that the agreement may have a total duration of up to 15 years, cf. clause II.2.2 and 2.3.

Procedure
Rammeaftalens varighed i år: 15
Begrundelse for rammeaftaler med en varighed på mere end fire år:

Due to the optional elements contained in the agreement, cf. clause II.1.5) and II.2.2), it cannot be ruled out that the agreement may be categorized as a framework agreement. Furthermore, DALO has determined that there may be a need for a duration of the agreement for 15 years in total. Such a duration is justified based on the following grounds in particular: The expected service life of the LPPL to be procured is up to 15 years. Furthermore, the option for purchasing 1 additional LPPL may only be exercised within the first 7 years of the duration of the agreement. Beyond this point in time, the purchases under the agreement will only concern the sustainment of the LPPL(s). These purchases will be of a very low value, since — when the warranty period on the LPPL(s) expires — DALO expects to perform most repairs by its own means and to acquire most common spare parts on the basis of other agreements. Thus, in this period, DALO will only purchasing spare parts, repair services, STTE etc. from the LPPL supplier, if this is deemed necessary due to safety concerns and the need for know-how concerning the specific LPPL(s) purchased.
