Contract Concerning the Acquisition of an X-ray Scanner for Integrity Control of Ballistic Protection Plates

Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization

The Danish Defence is acquiring an X-ray scanner for integrity control of hard armor plates in military ballistic protection vests. The system and its software shall detect defects that can influence the function and quality of the hard plates. All detected defects shall be classified and documented. The system shall be able to sort the hard plates in two classes: ‘Passed’/‘Not passed’ and shall be a stand alone system that ensures that the inspection of the plates is fully automated.
The hard plates are made of composite materials, fibers like Aramid (KEVLAR), Ultrahigh- molecular- weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), ceramics like Aluminum Oxide (AD-995), Silicon Carbide (Pure SIC) and Boron Carbide (Reaction Bonded RBB4C) and others.
The system shall provide image documentation highlighting the position and size of the features and shall be able to accommodate batches with several plates.
The system shall be installed and implemented at least six (6) months after contract signing.

Juridiske, økonomiske, finansielle og tekniske oplysninger
Betingelser for deltagelse
Økonomisk og finansiel stilling: None.
Teknisk og faglig kompetence:

The candidate must use the European Single Procurement Document (electronic version, hereafter ESPD) and provide the following information in the ESPD:

A list of the most important similar deliveries (references), cf. section II.1.4), carried out prior to the deadline for the request to participate, 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 supplies as described in section II.1.4). The description should also include a description of the candidates participation/role in the performance of the deliveries. The description should contain information on the date of the deliveries, the size/quantity/volume 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 candidate is asked to provide as much generic information as possible about the delivery). When specifying the date for the deliveries, the candidate 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 the request to participate will be considered when assessing which candidate has documented the most relevant previous deliveries, cf. section II.2.9). If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the supplies completed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate which will be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference).

Consequently, if a part of the supplies has not been completed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate, this particular part will not be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Therefore, it is important that the candidate clearly states which part (e.g. with regards to size, value, quantity or volume etc.) of an ongoing delivery (reference) that has been carried out.

A candidate 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 candidate and the entity or entities on which the candidate relies. In this case, the candidate shall ensure that an ESPD from the entity or entities on which the candidate is submitted along with the candidates own ESPD. The entity or entities’ ESPD must equally provide the information listed above.

The candidate will not be required to present further documentation for the technical and professional capacity (i.e. the information stated in the ESPD is considered sufficient). However, DALO reserves the right to contact the candidate and/or the recipients of the deliveries in order to verify the information stated in Part IV, section C in the ESPD, including details on the specified dates of the performance of the deliveries.

Procedure
Retsgrundlag: 32014L0024
Påtænkt antal ansøgere: 5
Objektive kriterier for udvælgelse af det begrænsede antal ansøgere:

For the purpose of achieving the best possible competition, DALO will choose a number of candidates for participation in the tender procedure based on the candidate’s size in accordance with the Commission Recommendation of 6 May 2003 concerning the definition of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (2003/361/EC); hereinafter the SME Recommendation. Thus, it is DALO’s intention to choose:

— 3 candidates which are micro or small enterprises (group 1),

— 2 candidates which are medium-sized or large enterprises (group 2).

The number of candidates assigned to each group is based on a market survey that DALO has conducted.

If DALO receives fewer applications for participation within a group than the number of candidates DALO has assigned to that particular group, DALO will not invite additional candidates from the other group.

However, DALO will deviate from this rule if this is necessary to be able to invite three candidates to the tender procedure. In this case, DALO will apply the principles for limitation of candidates as described below within each group and then by priority choose a number of the remaining candidates from group 1 and group 2 until a total of three candidates are invited to participate. For illustration purposes see example hereof in the ‘additional information’ document available on the ETHICS-webportal, cf. section I.3).

The determination of which category of enterprise a candidate is defined as must be made in accordance with the SME Recommendation. For further information on this, including information about entities that candidates are relying on, see the ‘additional information’ document available on the ETHICS-webportal, cf. section I.3)

The candidate must in the ESPD, Part V: Reduction of the number of qualified candidates, state in the textbox for further information, which group of enterprise the candidate is defined as. Furthermore, the candidate should in the textbox submit the most relevant information for determining which category of enterprise the candidate is defined as. As a minimum, the following data should be stated: staff headcount, annual turnover and balance sheet. If the candidate is relying on other entities, cf. above, these entities must also submit an ESPD. However, they shall not provide information about which group of enterprise the entity is, staff headcount, annual turnover or balance sheet, since this information is already included in the determination of which group of enterprise the candidate is defined as, cf. the ‘additional information’ document available on the ETHICS-webportal, cf. section I.3).

The candidate must on DALO’s request provide documentation establishing that the candidate at the time of application for participation was defined as the specific category of enterprise. Documentation may be annual reports or excerpts thereof, an auditor’s statement or equivalent forms of documentation.

The limitation of candidates within each group of enterprises will be based on an evaluation of which candidates have documented the most relevant previous deliveries in comparison to the contract/purchases described in section II.1.4) above. In the evaluation of the candidates the following it is weighted positive:

— documented previous deliveries of software for X-ray scanning systems;

— documented previous deliveries of automatic feeding systems of samples to X-ray scanners;

— documented previous deliveries of X-ray scanners that can scan samples with variant densities;

— DALO will deem deliveries that have been carried out more recently more relevant than older deliveries.

The evaluation will be based on the list submitted by the candidates in the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) according to section III.1.3). Please note that any ambiguities and/or incomprehensibilities in the information submitted may be regarded negatively in the evaluation when selecting the limited numbers of candidates.
