DALO have prepared a pre-qualification questionnaire which candidates are strongly encouraged to use when submitting their applications.

Re. Section II.1.2) Main site or location of works, place of delivery or performance is the supplier's shipyard.

Re. Section III.2.1) Solemn declaration regarding the candidate's payment of taxes and social security contributions.

When submitting the offers (but not the application for pre-qualification), the tenderers must submit a solemn declaration stating to which degree the tenderer has fulfilled its obligations relating to the payment of direct and indirect taxes and social security contributions in the country in which the candidate is established and in Denmark. A template for the declaration will be provided with the tender documents.

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 shall 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.

DALO reserves the right — but is not obliged — to use remedies equal to the remedies provided for in Section 159(5) of the Danish Act No 1564 of 15.12.2015 on tender procedures if applications or tenders do not fulfil the formalities of the tender documents.

Inspection meeting:

DALO is expecting to organize an Inspection Meeting (‘Bidders Conference’) on Wednesday, 6.7.2016, which will be held for all tenderers on board the frigate F363 Niels Juel at Naval base Korsoer, Sylowsvej 8, DK-4200 Korsoer.

Furthermore, DALO will give a short description of the tender procedure.

Re. IV.2.1) Award criteria:

The evaluation of the tenderer's price will take into account the costs of the Danish Defence associated with the fact that the services will be carried out on the supplier's shipyard. Thus, the following costs will be added when evaluating the prices offered:

1) The cost of sailing to and from the shipyard;

2) The cost of guarding the ship while in dock, including the travel expenses for the personnel of the Danish Defence guarding the ship.

This is done solely for the purpose of evaluation, and the winning tenderer will not have to cover these costs.
