During the negotiation process, the tenderers can ask questions in writing about the tender material and the subject of the contract. Following the negotiations, DALO may issue a revised tender material for a further initial or final offer. Tenderers will at the same time be informed hereof with a request to submit an initial or final tender. After receiving the final tenders, DALO conducts tender evaluation and decides on the award of the contract. DALO reserves the right to award the agreement regard on based on the first indicative offer of any subsequent indicative offers. Reference is made to the more detailed description in the tender conditions. neg-w-callfalse2023/002862Passementeries & TrimmingsDanish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) is putting acquisition of Passementeries and trimmings up for tender. The Passementeries and trimmings will be sewn directly on the uniforms or used as accessories to the uniform. These items are mainly used by; the Army, Air Force, Home Guard and the Danish Emergency Management Agency (DEMA). The Passementeries and trimmings will be used for the uniforms mainly, during military service, for parades, ceremony events etc. Passementeries and trimmings particularly include; gold/textile military laces, aiguillettes, lanyards, twisted & braided chin strap for caps, wool & gold tassels, woolen & silver neck strap with toggle buttons, woolen & silver mantequets, silver slides. The items are made on the basis of DALO’s Technical References and Technical Drawings. As part of the framework agreement the supplier shall also assist DALO in delivering services in connection with modifying excisting items or/and introducting new items if needed, which have the same nature as the items included in the framework agreement. DALO will hold a clarification meeting on 18th June 2024, 13:30-14:30 local time for all interested candidates, online. See further description in the section about further information, cf. Additional Information. suppliesThe mandatory exclusion grounds set out in sections 134a, 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act apply for this procurement. The exclusion ground in section 134a of the Danish Public Procurement Act is a specific national exclusion ground. The provision stipulates that the contracting entity shall exclude a candidate or tenderer from participation in a procurement procedure where the candidate or tenderer is established in a country that is included in the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes and has not acceded to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement or other trade agreements committing Denmark to open the public procurement market to tenderers established in that country. However, for reasons of overriding public interest, the contracting entity may refrain from excluding a candidate or tenderer that is subject to the ground for exclusion. It is stressed, however, that the voluntary grounds for exclusion in section 137 of the Danish Public Procurement Act do not apply for this procurement, irrespective of whether the text (which is system-generated) may suggest this. No particular legal form is required. If the agreement is awarded to a group of suppliers (e.g. a consortium), the participants shall undertake joint and several liability and appoint one supplier to represent the group. The agreement is not divided into lots since a division of the agreement will undermine the economies of scale obtainable by one agreement. The candidate must submit the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD). Please note that the candidate may rely on the capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor), 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 must ensure that an ESPD from the entity or entities on which the candidate relies is submitted along with the candidate’s own ESPD. The ESPD of the entity or entities in question must include equivalent information. A candidate may only submit one request to participate. The candidate and, if relevant, the participants in the group of entities and/or entities on which the candidate relies, must use the ESPD, see section 148 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, as preliminary evidence that the participants are not subject to any of the exclusion grounds set out in sections 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, and that the candidate fulfils the suitability requirements and the selection criteria. It is not necessary for the candidate to sign the ESPD document. If the candidate is a group of entities (consortiums), the participants not submitting the request to participate must sign their ESPD document. Any entities relied on must also sign the ESPD. DALO does not pay a fee to the participants in the tender procedure. It is pointed out that this procedure is subject to Article 5k of Regulation (EU) no. 833/2014, as amended. The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian-controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1 for the exact delimitation of the operators that are subject to the prohibition). DALO reserves the right at any time during the tender process to require candidates or tenderers to prove that they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring documentation regarding the candidates’ or tenderers’ and any subcontractors’ place of establishment and ownership. If a candidate relies on the capacity of other entities, the candidate shall upon request provide statements of support or other documentation proving that the candidate has access to the necessary economic and financial standing and/or technical and professional capacity, and that the entity referred to has a legal obligation to the candidate. If such documentation is not provided, DALO cannot take into account the economic and financial standing and/or the technical and professional capacity of such entity or entities. DALO has prepared a template (available in the electronic tender system) to be used to confirm the legal obligation. Regarding the conditions of performance: As part of the request to participate, the candidate must submit a self-declaration on compliance with labour clauses, CSR obligations and international sanctions, see sections 'conditions of performance'. 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. This will not cause any advantages in relation to the tenderers. DALO has uploaded a template (available in the electronic tender system) which must be used as declaration. Where groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate jointly in the tender procedure, the self-declaration must be submitted separately for each of the participating entities. DALO reserves the right – but is not obliged – to use the remedies provided for in section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act if requests to participate or offers do not fulfil the requirements of the tender documents. It should be noted that irrespective of the wording of the requirements of the tender documents to the effect that information, declarations and documentation must be submitted, e.g. concerning a description of the deliverables put up for tender, DALO is not prevented from obtaining additional information, etc., pursuant to section 159(5), cf. section 159(6) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. Any questions regarding the request to participate must be submitted through the electronic tender system. Questions will be anonymised, and the answers will be posted in the electronic tender system. Questions received within the deadline 1st July 2024 will be answered by DALO no later than 6 days before the deadline for request to participate, see deadlines above. However, questions received later than the deadline, will be answered unless the nature of the question makes it disproportionately onerous for DALO to answer six days before the deadline for request to participate. Answers to questions received later than 6 days before the deadline af the request to participate cannot be expected. On 18th June 2024, 13:30-14:30 local time a digital information meeting will be held for all interested candidates online. Participants who have signed up for the information meeting for online participation will receive a link for the meeting. During the meeting, DALO will explain the background of the tender procedure and the purpose of the procurement. General information as to the structure and content of the tender documents will also be provided. Participants are kindly asked to inform via the electronic tender system no later than three days before the meeting is held whether the tenderer will participate in the meeting and, in the affirmative, the number of persons accompanying the tenderer. DALO reserves the right to reduce the number of participants for the physical information meeting allowed to accompany each tenderer. If the participant is a foreign entity and participates in the physical information meeting, the participant must provide the following information: Company name, the full names of the participants, their birth dates and/or passport numbers. If the participant is Danish and participates in the physical information meeting, the participant must provide the following information: Company name and the full names of the participants. Participants in online meeting must provide the following information: Company name and the full names of the participants. Questions may be asked during the information meeting. However, DALO reserves the right to refer the participants to present the questions in writing instead if, according to DALO, it is not suitable or possible to answer such questions during the meeting. This includes questions which require further consideration. DALO will prepare a brief summary of the information meeting which will subsequently be uploaded to the electronic tender system. Prior to decision on award of the agreement, DALO requires that the tenderer to whom DALO intends to award the agreement presents documentation for the information stated in the ESPD, see sections 151-155 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. DALO demands that the the candidate and each of the legal entities on whose economic and financial capacities the the candidate relies undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the agreement. The estimated value of the framework agreement is DKK 15.000.000 , and the maximum value of the agreement is DKK 45.000.000 . The reason for the difference between the stated values is the uncertainty regarding the final value of the agreement, see below. Hence, the estimated value constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the value of the agreement at the present moment, while the maximum value constitutes the maximum value of purchases under the 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 under the agreement will be distributed in the Danish Defence. If it is decided that the deliverables in question are to be used by more groups of personnel than what is actually decided for now, this will lead to a significantly larger expenditure under the agreement than what is expected at the moment. The offer shall be in the language stated above. Regarding section about participation cf. selection criterion 1, it is specified that DALO will select 5 candidates by applying the criteria stated above, unless DALO receives no more than 5 compliant requests for participation.services4500000015000000180000000333200003332200145232001452330019200000192100001922000019400000Arsenalvej 55Hjoerring9800DK050DNKLOT-0000ef-standThe equity ratio (calculated by dividing the candidate’s equity with the candidate’s total assets (equity/total assets x 100) at the end of the last 3 financial years available.The candidate must have a positive equity in each of the last 3 financial years available. If the candidate is composed of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures, the equity will be calculated as the sum of all the participants’ equity in the last 3 financial years available. If the candidate relies on the economic and financial standing of an entity or entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor), the equity will be calculated as the sum of the candidate’s and the entity’s or entities’ equity in each of the last 3 financial years available. Upon request from DALO, the candidate must submit the following documentation: Annual reports or excerpts thereof or other documentation stating the candidate’s equity at the end of the last 3 financial years available if publication of annual reports is required under the law of the country in which the candidate is established. Where groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate jointly in the tender procedure, the documentation must be provided for each of the participating entities. If the candidate relies on the economic and financial standing of another entity or other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor), the documentation must also be provided for each such entity or entities. usedfalsesui-actn-usedtp-abilFor supply contracts: References: performance of deliveries of the specified typeA list must be provided in the ESPD of the most important similar deliveries (references), carried out prior to the deadline for request to participate. 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 procurement described in this notice in respect of which prequalification is applied for. 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, for example if the delivery in question was performed on an ongoing basis under a framework agreement, licence agreement, etc., it should be stated in the description of the delivery how the date is specified. 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, see section. If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the delivery completed at the time of the deadline for submission of request to participate which will be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Consequently, if a part of the delivery has not been completed at the time of the deadline for submission of 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, value, quantity or volume etc.) of an ongoing delivery (reference) that has been completed at the time of the deadline for submission of request to participate. DALO will only allow each candidate to send a list of 5 references (previous deliveries). If the candidate send more than 5 references, the first 5 references on the list will be taken into account, if they live up to the above set criteria. Additional references beyond this number will be disregarded. In the evaluation and selection, DALO will take the following into account in particular: -deliveries that include the same techniques as for production of passementeries and trimmings. -identical raw materials, for example silver and golden threads/ wire etc. -Also, deliveries to public organisations or defence authorities or alike organisations. 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 the ESPD, including details on the specified dates of the performance of the deliveries.usedtruenot-allowedno-eu-fundstrueBefore 2034, information about a new tender process wil be expected. not-allowedfalseENG2023/98.

In accordance with section 7(2) of the Act on The Complaints Board for Public Procurement, other complaints must be filed with The Complaints Board for Public Procurement within: 1) 45 calendar days after the contracting entity has published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union that the contracting entity has entered into an agreement. The deadline is calculated from the day after the day when the notice was published. 2) Thirty calendar days calculated from the day after the day when the contracting entity has notified the candidates concerned that an agreement based on a framework agreement with reopening of competition or a dynamic purchasing system has been entered into if the notification has included an explanation of the relevant grounds for the decision. 3) Six months after the contracting entity entered into a framework agreement calculated from the day after the day when the contracting entity notified the candidates and tenderers concerned, see section 2(2). The complainant must inform the contracting entity of the complaint in writing not later than simultaneously with the lodging of the complaint to The Complaints Board for Public Procurement stating whether the complaint has been lodged in the standstill period, see section 6(4) of the Act on The Complaints Board for Public Procurement. If the complaint has not been lodged in the standstill period, the complainant must also state whether it is requested that the appeal be granted suspensory effect, see section 12(1).

Reference samples shall be made pre ordering the first batch of each item as part of the agreement. Best case scenario for appoval of all types of items prior to initializing the first order is that approval takes up to 3 years. Worst case scenario for approval of all types of items prior to initializing the first order is that approval takes several tries per iten and/ or the supplier has to source new raw materials. In this case it is DALO's experience that the approval of all items can take up to 8 years, where DALO is unable to purchase the items. buyer-categoriesThe agreement is entered into by DALO.

However, questions received later than the deadline, will be answered unless the nature of the question makes it disproportionately onerous for DALO to answer six days before the deadline for request to participate. Answers to questions received later than 6 days before the deadline af the request to participate cannot be expected. On 18th June 2024, 13:30-14:30 local time a digital information meeting will be held for all interested candidates online. Participants who have signed up for the information meeting for online participation will receive a link for the meeting. During the meeting, DALO will explain the background of the tender procedure and the purpose of the procurement. General information as to the structure and content of the tender documents will also be provided. Participants are kindly asked to inform via the electronic tender system no later than three days before the meeting is held whether the tenderer will participate in the meeting and, in the affirmative, the number of persons accompanying the tenderer. DALO reserves the right to reduce the number of participants for the physical information meeting allowed to accompany each tenderer. If the participant is a foreign entity and participates in the physical information meeting, the participant must provide the following information: Company name, the full names of the participants, their birth dates and/or passport numbers. If the participant is Danish and participates in the physical information meeting, the participant must provide the following information: Company name and the full names of the participants. Participants in online meeting must provide the following information: Company name and the full names of the participants. Questions may be asked during the information meeting. However, DALO reserves the right to refer the participants to present the questions in writing instead if, according to DALO, it is not suitable or possible to answer such questions during the meeting. This includes questions which require further consideration. DALO will prepare a brief summary of the information meeting which will subsequently be uploaded to the electronic tender system. Prior to decision on award of the agreement, DALO requires that the tenderer to whom DALO intends to award the agreement presents documentation for the information stated in the ESPD, see sections 151-155 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. DALO demands that the the candidate and each of the legal entities on whose economic and financial capacities the the candidate relies undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the agreement. The estimated value of the framework agreement is DKK 15.000.000 , and the maximum value of the agreement is DKK 45.000.000 . The reason for the difference between the stated values is the uncertainty regarding the final value of the agreement, see below. Hence, the estimated value constitutes DALO’s most qualified estimate of the value of the agreement at the present moment, while the maximum value constitutes the maximum value of purchases under the 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 under the agreement will be distributed in the Danish Defence. If it is decided that the deliverables in question are to be used by more groups of personnel than what is actually decided for now, this will lead to a significantly larger expenditure under the agreement than what is expected at the moment. The offer shall be in the language stated above. Regarding section about participation cf. selection criterion 1, it is specified that DALO will select 5 candidates by applying the criteria stated above, unless DALO receives no more than 5 compliant requests for participation.trueservices4500000015000000180000000333200003332200145232001452330019200000192100001922000019400000Arsenalvej 55Hjoerring9800DK050DNK102The agreement period is 4 years.
