Denmark – Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation – Military Of The Shelf (MOTS) spare parts for the Danish military combat and tactical vehicles fleet.

Through purchases under a framework agreement the Danish Defence Aquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) planned to purchase military spare parts for the main part of the fleet of military combat and tactical vehicles of the Danish Defence. The framework agreements covers the purchase of all military spare parts for military combat and tactical vehicles from the following manufacturers: — BAE Systems Hägglunds Bandvagn 206 (Bv 206D6); — BAE Systems Hägglunds CV-9035 DK Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV); — General Dynamics European Land Systems-Mowag GmbH Eagle IV (Eagle IV); — General Dynamics European Land Systems-Mowag GmbH Piranha 3 (Piranha 3); — Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft Armored personnel carrier M113 (M113) — Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft Leopard 1 WISENT (LEO 1); — Rheinmetall Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg Leopard 1 Bibler Armoured vehicle land bridge (LEO 1 Bibler AVLB) — Rheinmetall Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg HX (MAN HX); — Rheinmetall Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg SX (MAN SX); — Krauss-Maffei Wegmann Leopard 2 (LEO 2); DALO expect that the vehicles will be used in international military operations, therefore spare parts must be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) spare parts or equivalent quality, i.e. spare parts which are of the same quality as the OEM spare parts used by the vehicle manufacturer for the assembly of the vehicle and maintain the full operational envelope of the vehicle systems. Equivalent quality parts may be produced by another party than the OEM, as further specified in the tender documents. Tenderers who offers non-OEM spare parts had to submit documention, as part of the offer, that the offered spare parts are of equivalent quality as the OEM spare parts. Tenderers who offered OEM spare parts could at any time during the tender process be asked to document that the offered spare parts are OEM spare parts, if DALO found it relevant. The main part of the spare parts that DALO intends to purchase in accordance with the ramework agreement were stated in an appendix to the framework agreement. The framework agreement and appendices, including the listed spare parts, were made available to the prequalified tenderers. Some of the military spare parts are repairable and the framework agreement will also included obligation to repair these. DALO can also use the framework agreement to purchase spare parts for the above mentioned vehicles that are not listed in the appendix. Each listed spare part were evaluated and awarded individually in a cascade model, meaning that the tenderer who submitted the most economically advantageous offer for a spare part would be the primary supplier for that spare part. A maximum of three (3) tenderers were offered a parallel framework agreement on each spare part. If more than three (3) tenderers had submitted an offer for the same spare part DALO would only award the spare part to the three (3) most economically advanteges offers. The order of the cascade were determed based on DALO's evaluation of the offers. After award of the spare parts DALO will purchase the spare parts by way of a direct award. First DALO will submit a purchase order for a specific spare part to the primary supplier. Secondly DALO has the posibility to use the cascade model to place the order at the secondary supplier in case the primary supplier is unable to deliver. Finally DALO can submit the purchase order to the third supplier in case neither the primary og secondary supplier are able to deliver the spare part, as further described in the tender material that were made available to the prequalified tenderers. It was not a requirement for participating in the tender proces that a tenderer could offer all the listed spare parts in the appendix. Tenderers could freely decide which of the listed spare parts they wanted to submit an offer for. However, in order to be awarded a parallel framework agreement a tenderer must have been awarded a minimum of ten (10) spare parts on the list (e.i. be in top three (3) in the evaluation of at least ten (10) spare parts). If a tenderer after the final evaluation had not been awarded at least ten (10) spare parts DALO would disregard the offer entirely. Spare parts that has not received an offer as well as other spare parts for the above mentioned military combat and tactical vehicles of the Danish Defence that has not been stated on the list in the appendix may, however, be awarded by way of a light tender procedure (mini-competition) among all the suppliers that have been awarded a parallel framework agreement (e.i. has been awarded at least ten (10) spare parts, c.f. the description above). The award criteria for the light tender procedure was described in further details in the tender material.
