The objective of this Framework Agreement is to ensure that the Danish Defence will be able to provide Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles. The Framework Agreement consists of an acquisition part for 7 (seven) years with an option for further 3 (three) years and a sustainment part for 15 (fiveteen) years. The Danish Police is also entitled to use the Framework Agreements. The Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles will be primarily utilized by specialist sharpshooters across a wide spectrum of land-, naval- and air force units, in both combat and training scenarios, in varying environmental conditions across the globe. The Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles are to be primarily used with focus on target observation, identification and acquisition (hereunder ranging and ballistic correction) prior to and while engaging the target with the shooter’s weapon system. The Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles are also to be used along with the soldier’s and their unit's other equipment, such as other weaponry, sensors and different electromagnetic emitters. Due to operational requirements, it is expected that the Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles live up to specific minimum requirements, some of which are already described in section III 2.3. as part of the candidate selection criteria. It is of paramount importance that the Danish Defence will also be able to purchase relevant spare parts and accessories to the Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles, as well as have the possibility to receive repair assistance and necessary training for user instructors and technical staff. Therefore the Framework Agreement will have a sustainment part included. As part of the tender procedure and prior to awarding the contract, tests will be conducted to evaluate the offers and verify that the Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles included in the tenderers' offer comply with the all requirements of DALO. The tests are scheduled to take place in the early Summer 2023 and are expected to be conducted at the Danish Defence locations in Denmark. The exact method and the intended tests will be described in the tender material. The Danish Defence intends to use the Framework Agreement for current purchases of Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles, as well as related accessories, spare parts and services and expects to place an initial order of (44+18) Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles directly after signing of the Framework Agreement. The Danish Defence shall not be obliged to buy any minimum quantity of Thermal Clip-on Sights for Sniper Rifles

Regarding section III.1.4: As part of the prequalification application the candidate is asked to submit a self-declaration, on compliance with labour clauses, CSR obligations and international sanctions. If the self-declaration is not submitted or is inadequate, the candidate cannot be taken into consideration for the framework agreement and may be excluded from participation in the procurement process. However, in this connection DALO reserves the right, at any time during the tender process, to let the candidate rectify a missing or inadequately completed self-declaration.
DALO has uploaded a template (available in the ETHICS web portal) which must be used as a statement.
When associations of several entities (eg. Consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate as one tenderer, the self-declaration must be filled out separately for each of the participating entities.

Regarding section II.2.1): The estimated value of the framework agreement is kr. 18 mio and the maximum value of the framework agreement is kr. 36 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 consti-tutes 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.
The uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement is primarily caused by uncertainty regarding exactly how extensively the deliverables of the framework agreement will be distributed in the Danish Defence. If decision is made that the deliverables in question shall be utilized by more groups of personnel than what is actually decided for now, this will lead to a significant larger expenditure on the framework agreement than what is expected at the moment.

If the same legal entity is a part of or in any other way participates in several applications, e.g. submits his own application and at the same time par-ticipates in a consortium which also applies, the candidates shall ensure that the same legal entity’s participation does not provide for opportunity for mutual coordination of their applications and offers. DALO reserves the right to request the candidates to establish and reassure DALO that the same legal entity’s participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the tenderers.
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, the Public Procurement Act, if applications or tenders do not fulfil the formalities of the procurement documents.

Teknisk og faglig kompetence:
A list of maximum 10 (ten) most important References (cf. section II.1.5), carried out within the past 5 (five) years prior to the deadline for the request to participate.
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 IV.1.2). If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the supplies carried out within the past 5 (five) years and 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 carried out within the past 5 (five) years or 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 regard to size,and quantity ) of an on-going delivery (reference) that has been carried out within the past 5 (five) years.

The list should preferably include a short description of each delivery. The description of the deliveries should include a clear indication of which specific parts the deliveries are similar to the supplies, described in section II.1.5. The description should also include a description of the candidates participation/role in the performance of the deliveries. The description should also contain information on the date of the deliveries, the quantity 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 for the commencement and completion of the deliveries. 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.

Regarding section III.1.4: As part of the prequalification application the candidate is asked to submit a self-declaration, on compliance with labour clauses, CSR obligations and international sanctions. If the self-declaration is not submitted or is inadequate, the candidate cannot be taken into consideration for the framework agreement and may be excluded from participation in the procurement process.

DALO has uploaded a template (available in the ETHICS web portal) which must be used as a statement.

Regarding section II.2.1): The estimated value of the framework agreement is kr. 18 mio and the maximum value of the framework agreement is kr. 36 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 consti-tutes 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.

Hence, the estimated value consti-tutes 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.
The uncertainty regarding the final value of the framework agreement is primarily caused by uncertainty regarding exactly how extensively the deliverables of the framework agreement will be distributed in the Danish Defence. If decision is made that the deliverables in question shall be utilized by more groups of personnel than what is actually decided for now, this will lead to a significant larger expenditure on the framework agreement than what is expected at the moment.
