Juridiske, økonomiske, finansielle og tekniske oplysninger
Betingelser for deltagelse
Økonomisk og finansiel stilling: No requirements regarding economic and financial standing.
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) and II.2.4), in regard to the lot or lots in respect of which the candidate has requested to participate, carried out prior to the deadline for the request to participate, cf. Part IV, section C.
Vis mere
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) and II.2.4), in regard to the lot or lots in respect of which the candidate has requested to participate. 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.
Vis mere
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.
Vis mere
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 relies is submitted along with the candidates own ESPD. The entity or entities’ ESPD must equally provide the information listed above.
Vis mere
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.

The Agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all divisions of the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all units of the Danish Defence subject to the command of the Chief of Defence is entitled to use the Agreement.
Regarding section II.1.5): The estimated value of the framework agreement is DKK 100 mio. and the maximum value of the framework agreement is DKK 200 mio. The reason for the difference between the stated values is the uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement, cf. below. Hence, the estimated value constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the value of the framework agreement at the present moment, while the maximum value constitutes the maximum value of purchases under the framework agreement in its duration.
Vis mere
The uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement is primarily caused by uncertainty regarding the Danish Defence’ operational needs through the duration of the framework agreement, including uncertainty about specific deployments and mission areas in particular, which is not possible to foresee for the entire span of the framework agreement. Thus, changes to the operational needs of the Danish Defence compared to the existing situation and needs may cause a significant larger expenditure on the framework agreement than what is expected at the moment. Furthermore the development on the food market gives uncertainty on price and thus the expected value of the framewoork agreement.
Vis mere

DALO shall require that the candidate apply the ESPD as preliminary evidence that the candidate is not subject to the grounds of exclusion stipulated in §§ 135 and 136 of the said Act, that the candidate fulfils the objective and non-discriminatory criteria of selection, cf. § 145(2), cf. section II.2.9).
Vis mere

The ESPD shall be fulfilled and submitted at ETHICS’ web portal in accordance with the instructions given by ETHICS. The ESPD document must be signed by the supporting entity. It is not necessary for the candidate to sign the ESPD document. If the candidate is a group of entities (consurtiums), each participant’s ESPD document must be signed by the participant in question.
