2.1 Procedure

Titel: Framework Agreement regarding procurement of 5 (five) categories of Operational Eyewear.

Beskrivelse: Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) wishes to\n enter into a Framework Agreement regarding procurement of Operational Eyewear as well\n as spare parts, as the Danish Defence, the Ministry for Resilience and Preparedness\n and the Danish Police has a need for Operational Eyewear for their personnel (collectively\n “The Buyer”). The Buyer shall be entitled to use the Framework Agreement for purchase\n of the deliverables on the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement. The Operational\n Eyewear is an essential part of the personnel's equipment and personal protection\n equipment, and will be used across training, educational and operational tasks both\n nationally and internationally. The eyewear must be able to integrate with various\n types of equipment and be usable with different types of headwear and related gear\n and must equally be useable without any headwear or related gear.

The Operational\n Eyewear is divided into 5 eyewear categories. The tenderer shall provide DALO with\n a Framework Agreement covering all 5 categories:
1)Ballistic Eyewear
2)Ballistic\n Goggle
3)Tactical Parachute Goggle
4)Arctic Goggle
5)Ballistic Eyewear\n with prescription correction in the protective lenses

The Operational Eyewear\n shall protect the personnel's eyes from various threats, including fragments, dust,\n sun, airborne insects and similar foreign objects as well as laser light. The Operational\n Eyewear is intended for operational use. Therefore, the personnel must be able to\n carry, put on, change configuration, stow and clean the eyewear during training and\n combat operations.

Reg. 1)
The tenderer shall offer a selection of 5\n different models* of Ballistic Eyewear in order to fit most possible personnel with\n different facial shapes without compromising safety parameters, one of the models\n shall be compatible with COMM templets and such model shall be offered in three different\n sizes (Small, Medium, Large). Each of the 5 models of Ballistic Eyewear offered shall\n be of a one shield type eyewear (one lens covers both eyes).

*A model = a\n product variant that has a uniform design, function and technical specification that\n distinguish it from other variants. Different sizes of the same product variant shall\n not be considered separate models.

Reg. 2)
The Ballistic Goggle shall\n include lenses with different properties for use in different environments and conditions.

The\n Ballistic Goggle shall be a shield type goggle (one lens covers both eyes) and must\n be designed for use in combination with a helmet and shall either be equipped with\n an elastic retention strap or be capable of being directly mounted onto the helmet.\n The Ballistic Goggle must provide a close and secure fit to the face to ensure optimal\n protection and comfort and prevent fogging.

Reg. 3)
The Tactical Parachute\n Goggle will primarily be used by personnel in special operation forces for both training\n and actual military operations. Danish special operation forces will use the Tactical\n Parachute Goggle for educational and operational tasks, both nationally and internationally.

The\n Tactical Parachute Goggle shall be consisting of either one shield type goggle (one\n lens covers both eyes) or one wrap type (two lenses covering an eye each) low profile\n eyewear and must be designed for use in combination with a helmet and shall either\n be equipped with an elastic retention strap or be capable of being directly mounted\n onto the helmet. The Tactical Parachute Goggle must provide a close and secure fit\n to the face to ensure optimal protection and comfort and prevent fogging. Lenses shall\n be easily removed from the primary frame and replaced with another lens.

Reg.\n 4)
The Arctic Goggle shall protect the soldier’s eyes from ex. snow, frost, sun\n and foreign objects. The Arctic Goggle is intended for operational use therefore,\n the soldier needs to be able to carry, put on, change configuration, stow and clean\n the systems, all during training and combat operations with gloves on.

The\n Arctic Goggle shall be a shield type goggle (one lens covers both eyes) suitable for\n arctic conditions, designed for use in combination with a helmet and shall either\n be equipped with an elastic retention strap or be capable of being directly mounted\n onto the helmet. The Arctic Goggle must provide a close and secure fit to the face\n to ensure optimal protection and comfort and prevent fogging. The Lenses in the Arctic\n Goggle shall be capable of being easily removed from the primary frame and replaced\n with another lens.

Reg. 5)
The Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction\n in the protective lenses will be used by Personnel for both training and operational\n use. The Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction in the protective lenses can\n be a one wrap type low profile eyewear (two lenses covering an eye each with prescription\n correction in the protective lenses) and should not include an RX carrier solution.
...
All\n Categories of Operational Eyewear must comply with MIL-PRF-32432A or equivalent, covering\n subject areas such as Ballistic fragmentation protection, Ultraviolet absorption,\n Haze/resistance to scratching/abrasion, Environment, User survivability and Chemical\n Resistance. The eyewear must further be assessed as a High Impact Protector in compliance\n with ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010 or equivalent. Categories 1, 2, 3 and 5 must additionally\n include a dark lens complying with ISO 12312-1.2023 or equivalent, and Category 5\n must further comply with STANAG 2029 or equivalent regarding ballistic fragmentation\n protection.

The specific references to the standards are further described\n in the tender documents. Where it says “or equivalent” above (or in the tender documents),\n this should be understood as equivalent or indisputably better. It is always the Supplier’s\n responsibility to demonstrate equivalence or improvement in relation to any requirement.\n For further requirements regarding standards, spare parts etc., reference is made\n to the tender documents.

Intern ID: 5c4e1eb6-6764-4c9c-a7c3-b7fb93660e18

Udbudsprocedure: Udbud med forhandling/indkaldelse af tilbud med forudgående offentliggørelse

Proceduren er en hasteprocedure: nej

Hovedpunkterne i proceduren: The procedure is conducted in two main phases: Phase 1: Request for prequalification.\n Phase 2: Tender and negotiation phase.

For Phase 1, DALO has prepared a\n prequalification questionnaire (“PQQ”) which the candidates are encouraged to use\n when submitting their request for prequalification (application). The PQQ contains\n forms and templates for providing information etc. in accordance with the requirements\n in this Contract Notice. However, it is emphasised that it is the sole responsibility\n of the candidate that the information provided fulfils the requirements. The PQQ is\n available at the electronic tendering system.

Please note that each candidate\n may only submit one request for prequalification.

Self-declarations
As\n part of the request to participate, the candidate must submit a self-declaration stating\n that the tenderer (1) is not subject to any of the mandatory grounds for exclusion\n stated in Article 39(1) of the Defence and Security Directive, and (2) to which degree\n the tenderer has unpaid overdue debt in relation to taxes or social security contributions\n under Danish law or under the law of the country in which the tenderer is established.\n The candidate must also submit a self-declaration on compliance with labour clauses,\n CSR obligations and international sanctions. Templates for such declarations are provided\n in the tendering system, which the tenderer may use. A template for the declaration\n is provided, which the tenderer may use.

Even if a candidate or a tenderer\n is subject to an exclusion ground, it will not be excluded if it has provided sufficient\n documentation that it is reliable. DALO will decide whether the documentation is sufficient.\n DALO’s assessment will be made according to the guidelines in section 138(1)-(4) of\n the Danish Act no. 1564 of 15 December 2015, as amended (the “Public Procurement Act”).

DALO\n reserves the right, at any time during the tender process, to let the candidate rectify\n a missing or inadequately completed self-declaration(s). Where groups of entities\n (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate jointly in the\n tender procedure, the declarations must be provided separately for each of the participating\n entities.

According to the Defence and Security Directive, a candidate may\n rely on the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional capacity\n of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links with the entities.\n If a candidate intends to rely on other entities and wants the capacity of such other\n entities to be taken into account when DALO assesses the suitability of the candidate,\n the candidate must prove that the other entities will and are obliged to provide the\n relevant resources at the disposal of the candidate. A template for a declaration\n from the supporting entity to this effect is also available in the tendering system.

Yderligere oplysninger: No particular legal form is required. If the agreement is awarded to a group of suppliers\n (e.g. a consortium), the participants shall undertake joint and several liability\n and appoint one supplier to represent the group.

It is pointed out that this\n procedure is subject to Article 5k of Regulation (EU) no. 833/2014, as amended. The\n provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and\n Russian-controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1 for\n the exact delimitation of the operators that are subject to the prohibition). DALO\n reserves the right at any time during the tender process to require candidates or\n tenderers to prove that they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring\n documentation regarding the candidates’ or tenderers and any subcontractors’ place\n of establishment and ownership.

Regarding \"Object\"
Reference is especially\n made to the requirement specifications (Appendix 1.1 - Ballistic Eyewear, Appendix\n 1.2 - Ballistic Goggle, Appendix 1.3 - Tactical Parachute Goggle, Appendix 1.4 - Arctic\n Goggle and Appendix 1.5- Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction in the protective\n lenses) for the respective categories of Operational Eyewear, where detailed requirements\n for each category of Operational Eyewear, that the offered products must comply with,\n are set out.

Regarding “Conditions of performance”
With reference to\n the principles of the Public Procurement Act, DALO reserves the right – but is not\n obliged – to use the remedies provided for in section 159(5) of the Danish Act no.\n 1564 of 15 December 2015, as amended, the Public Procurement Act, if requests to participate\n or offers do not fulfil the requirements of the tender documents. It should be noted\n that irrespective of the wording of the requirements of the tender documents to the\n effect that information, declarations and documentation must be submitted, e.g. concerning\n a description of the deliverables put up for tender, DALO is not prevented from obtaining\n additional information, etc., pursuant to the procedure in section 159(5), cf. section\n 159(6) of the Public Procurement Act.

Questions:
Any questions regarding\n the request to participate must be submitted through the electronic tender system.\n Questions will be anonymised, and the answers will be posted in the electronic tender\n system. Questions received within the deadline stated in “Additional information deadline”\n will be answered by DALO no later than 6 days before the deadline for request to participate,\n see “Deadline for receipts to participate”. However, questions received later than\n the deadline will be answered unless the nature of the question makes it disproportionately\n onerous for DALO to answer six days before the deadline for request to participate.\n Answers to questions received later than 6 days before the deadline af the request\n to participate cannot be expected.

Joint and several liability:
DALO\n demands that the candidate and each of the legal entities on whose economic and financial\n capacities the candidate relies on undertake joint and several liability for the performance\n of the agreement.

Value:
The estimated value of the framework agreement\n is DKK 60,000,000, and the maximum value of the framework agreement is 150,000,000.\n The reason for the difference between the stat-ed values is the uncertainty regarding\n the final value of the framework agreement, see below. Hence, the estimated value\n constitutes DALO’ s most qualified estimate of the value of the framework agreement\n at the present moment, while the maximum value constitutes the maximum value of purchases\n under the framework agreement in its duration.
The uncertainty regarding the final\n value of the framework agreement is primarily caused by uncertainty regarding the\n operational needs of the Danish Defence, the Ministry of Resilience and Preparedness\n and the Danish police through the duration of the framework agreement, including in\n particular uncertainty about specific deployments and mission areas, which is not\n possible to foresee for the entire span of the framework agreement. Thus, changes\n to the operational needs of the Danish Defence compared to the existing situation\n and needs may cause a significantly larger expenditure under the framework agreement\n than what is expected at the moment.

Number of candidates:
Regarding\n the number of candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure, it is\n specified that DALO will select 4 candidates by applying the criteria stated in the\n section “Participation”, unless DALO receives less than 4 compliant requests for participation.

Successive\n stages:
\"YES\" selected under the headline \"The procedure will take place in successive\n stages. In each stage, some participants may be eliminated\" shall be understood as\n selection of candidate to be prequalified by DALO and will be invited to submit tenders\n in the tender stage.

Test and Test Specimen:
The tenderer will during\n the tender process be asked to provide sample units of each category of Operational\n Eyewear. As part of the evaluation of the tenderers offer, DALO will perform test\n on the offered products (Test Specimen). The tenderer will be asked to provide Test\n Specimen (sample units) as part of the INDO procedure as well as the BAFO procedure.\n

INDO:
As a part of the INDO phase, DALO will review the sample units\n (of the offered products) in order to provide feedback on the quality of the offered\n products during the negotiations. Each tenderer is required to submit the sample units\n to DALO before the INDO deadline.

The following sample units is expected\n to be required before the INDO deadline:
Ballistic Eyewear
Model A:
1\n sample unit in size S (small), 1 sample unit in size M (medium) and 1 sample unit\n in size L (large).
Model B-E:
1 sample unit (of each model B-E) in the offered\n size range

All sample units of Ballistic Eyewear shall include a “Standard\n Package” consisting of accessories and Carrying Pouch. The tenderer shall also provide\n 1 (one) sample unit of the offered “RX carrier” with plain glass (without prescription\n correction).

The tenderer shall provide 1 sample unit of the offered models\n in the categories Ballistic Goggle, Tactical Parachute Goggle and Arctic Goggle.

Regarding\n Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction in the protective lenses the tenderer\n shall provide:
1 sample unit of the offered model with clear lens and 1 sample\n unit of the offered model with dark lens.

All sample units to be provided\n under the categories Ballistic Goggle, Tactical Parachute Goggle, Arctic Goggle and\n Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction in the protective lenses shall include\n a “Standard Package” consisting of accessories and Carrying Pouch.

The “Standard\n Package” is further described in the Requirement specifications.

BAFO
Each\n tenderer shall provide Test Specimens (sample units), ready to be tested at the time\n of the BAFO deadline. The tenderer is expected to be asked to provide ~120 sample\n units, where ~100 units will be from category 1 Ballistic Eyewear. The exact units\n and the final distribution between the five categories and sizes will be provided\n to the tenderers in the invitation to submit BAFO.

Unused Test Specimens\n will be returned to the tenderer. Used test Specimens/sample units can be returned\n to the tenderer upon request. DALO shall not be liable for wear and tear, age-related\n deterioration, or any other damage to the Test specimens/sample units.

DALO\n will perform tests on the offered Operational Eyewear, by a user test and a Subject\n Matter Expert (SME) test. The purpose of the tests are to evaluate the Quality of\n the products. By quality DALO means the way the products perform in terms of fit,\n function and comfort.

It should be noted that Participants/tenderers shall\n not be entitled to any compensation or other form of remuneration for their participation\n in this procurement procedure, including in regard to the submission of sample units\n (test specimens).

5.1.9 Udvælgelseskriterier

Kilder til udvælgelseskriterier: Bekendtgørelse

Kriterium: Referencer på specificerede leverancer

Beskrivelse af udvælgelseskriterium: The candidate must submit the Prequalification Questionnaire (“PQQ”) with the following\n information:

A list of the 5 most significant comparable supplies that the\n candidate has carried out before the expiry of the deadline for application. Only\n references relating to supplies carried out at the time of the deadline for application\n will be given importance in the evaluation of the candidate’s technical and professional\n capacity, see below. Hence, in the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the supplies\n already performed at the time of the deadline for application will be included in\n the evaluation of the reference.

Each reference is requested to include a\n description of the deliveries made in the form of:

The description of the\n delivery shall include a clear specification of the supplies (Operational Eyewear\n within categories 1–5) to which the delivery relates, as well as the Candidate’s role(s)\n in performing the delivery. The reference shall further include the volume of the\n delivery, the date of delivery, and the name of the customer (recipient).

The\n Candidate shall provide a sufficiently detailed description of the supplies delivered\n under the reference, including relevant identifying information (such as product name,\n model designation, type, version, item number, serial number, or equivalent) enabling\n the Contracting Authority to unambiguously identify the specific deliverables delivered\n in order to assess whether the supplies are comparable to the subject matter of the\n procurement and the declared category of Operational Eyewear.

A reference\n shall be deemed comparable to the relevant category of Operational Eyewear where the\n deliverables, in their overall design, function, and technical specifications, correspond\n to the relevant category of Operational Eyewear under this procurement, as further\n described in section “Identification” above.

The candidates are obligated\n to provide information regarding the date of the delivery of the reference deliveries.\n When indicating the date of the delivery, the candidate is requested to indicate the\n date of commencement and finalisation of the delivery. If this is not possible, for\n example if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement,\n the candidate is asked to indicate how the date is specified.

No more than\n 5 references may be stated, irrespective of whether the candidate is a single operator,\n whether the candidate relies on the technical capacity of other entities, or is a\n group of operators (e.g., a consortium). Where more than 5 references are stated,\n only the most recent 5 references will be taken into account. Any additional references\n will be disregarded. If it is not possible to decide which references are the most\n recent 5 references, the references will be selected by drawing lots.

In\n this procedure, the candidate may rely on the technical capacity of other operators\n to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their technical\n capacity available to the candidate must sign a letter of commitment, see template\n in the tendering system.

No additional documentation of technical and professional\n capacity will be required from the candidate. However, the contracting entity reserves\n the right to contact the candidate or the customer stated in the reference for verification\n of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of the reference indicated.

Selection\n criteria:
The shortlisting of candidates invited to tender will be based on an\n evaluation of which candidates have documented the 5 most relevant deliveries, cf.\n below.
The relevance assessment will be made on the basis of the extent to which\n the 5 references, combined, document experience in the provision of deliveries that\n are comparable to the main deliverables put up for tender within category 1-5.

Where\n the Contracting Authority is unable to determine whether deliverables included in\n a reference delivery falls within one of the five categories of Operational Eyewear,\n such reference will not be taken into account in the evaluation.
In the evaluation\n of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries of comparable deliverables\n DALO will assess the extent to which the submitted references demonstrate (in priority)\n
(1) experience in delivering comparable Operational Eyewear within one or more\n of the five categories covered by this procurement, and
(2) geographical context\n of the deliveries.

More recent deliveries will be assessed more favourably\n than older deliveries, as they demonstrate current and relevant operational capacity.

Reg.\n (1): The assessment of each category will consider:
• The degree of correspondence\n between the delivered products and the requirements of this procurement within each\n category, including functionality and technical characteristics; and
• The documented\n volume of deliveries under the reference.

Substantial documented delivery\n volume within Category 1 will be considered particularly positive, as it demonstrates\n proven capacity to supply this category at scale.

Reg. (2): The geographical\n context of the deliveries will be taken into account, where:
• Deliveries made\n to NATO countries will be considered the most relevant and will be assessed most favourably.

•\n Deliveries made to NATO allied countries will also be considered positively, but will\n be assessed less favourably than deliveries made directly to NATO countries.

•\n Deliveries made to non-NATO countries will be considered of comparatively lower relevance.

Kriteriet vil blive anvendt til at udvælge de ansøgere, som skal opfordres til at deltage i anden fase af proceduren

Kriterium: Andre økonomiske eller finansielle krav

Beskrivelse af udvælgelseskriterium: The candidate must submit the Prequalification Questionnaire (“PQQ”) with the following\n information:

• The candidate’s solvency ratio for the latest 3 (three) available\n financial years.

In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the economic\n and financial capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements.\n The operator(s) making its/their economic and financial capacity available to the\n candidate must sign a letter of commitment, see the template in the tendering system.\n

If the candidate relies on the economic and financial capacity of other\n entities in relation to the fulfilment of requirements, see below, the candidate and\n the entities in question will be required by the contracting entity to undertake joint\n and several liability for the performance of the contract.

The PQQ serves\n as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the requirements in respect\n of economic and financial capacity.
Before the award decision is made, the candidate\n to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation\n that the information stated in the PQQ is accurate.

Upon the contracting\n entity's request, the following documentation of economic and financial capacity must\n be submitted:

• Extracts from the company’s annual reports/financial statements\n for the last 3 (three) available financial years documenting the company’s gross profit,\n or a statement of the company’s equity and assets as reflected in the annual reports/financial\n statements for the past 3 (three) available financial years.

For groups of\n operators (e.g. a consortium), the information in the three latest available annual\n report(s)/financial statement(s) available must (on the contracting entity's request)\n be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies\n on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company,\n a sister company or a subcontractor), information for such other entities must be\n provided as well.

Minimum requirement:
As a minimum requirement, the\n candidate’s solvency ratio for the 3 (three) latest available financial years shall\n be at least 20%. The solvency ratio is calculated as the company’s total equity in\n relation to the company’s total assets, expressed as a percentage. Accordingly, the\n solvency ratio is calculated as (total equity / total assets) × 100 = solvency ratio.

For\n groups of operators (e.g., a consortium) or where the candidate relies on the economic\n and financial capacity of other entities, the solvency ratio shall be calculated as\n the combined total equity of the candidates and such other entities in relation to\n their combined total assets, expressed as a percentage. In the case of a grouping\n of economic operators (e.g. a consortium), the solvency ratio shall be calculated\n as the combined total equity of the economic opera-tors in relation to their combined\n total assets, expressed as a percentage.

The information is to be stated\n in the PQQ. DALO has uploaded a template (available in the electronic tender system)\n which can be used.

2 Procedure

2.1 Procedure

Title: Framework Agreement regarding procurement of 5 (five) categories of Operational Eyewear.

Description: Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) wishes to\n enter into a Framework Agreement regarding procurement of Operational Eyewear as well\n as spare parts, as the Danish Defence, the Ministry for Resilience and Preparedness\n and the Danish Police has a need for Operational Eyewear for their personnel (collectively\n “The Buyer”). The Buyer shall be entitled to use the Framework Agreement for purchase\n of the deliverables on the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement. The Operational\n Eyewear is an essential part of the personnel's equipment and personal protection\n equipment, and will be used across training, educational and operational tasks both\n nationally and internationally. The eyewear must be able to integrate with various\n types of equipment and be usable with different types of headwear and related gear\n and must equally be useable without any headwear or related gear.

The Operational\n Eyewear is divided into 5 eyewear categories. The tenderer shall provide DALO with\n a Framework Agreement covering all 5 categories:
1)Ballistic Eyewear
2)Ballistic\n Goggle
3)Tactical Parachute Goggle
4)Arctic Goggle
5)Ballistic Eyewear\n with prescription correction in the protective lenses

The Operational Eyewear\n shall protect the personnel's eyes from various threats, including fragments, dust,\n sun, airborne insects and similar foreign objects as well as laser light. The Operational\n Eyewear is intended for operational use. Therefore, the personnel must be able to\n carry, put on, change configuration, stow and clean the eyewear during training and\n combat operations.

Reg. 1)
The tenderer shall offer a selection of 5\n different models* of Ballistic Eyewear in order to fit most possible personnel with\n different facial shapes without compromising safety parameters, one of the models\n shall be compatible with COMM templets and such model shall be offered in three different\n sizes (Small, Medium, Large). Each of the 5 models of Ballistic Eyewear offered shall\n be of a one shield type eyewear (one lens covers both eyes).

*A model = a\n product variant that has a uniform design, function and technical specification that\n distinguish it from other variants. Different sizes of the same product variant shall\n not be considered separate models.

Reg. 2)
The Ballistic Goggle shall\n include lenses with different properties for use in different environments and conditions.

The\n Ballistic Goggle shall be a shield type goggle (one lens covers both eyes) and must\n be designed for use in combination with a helmet and shall either be equipped with\n an elastic retention strap or be capable of being directly mounted onto the helmet.\n The Ballistic Goggle must provide a close and secure fit to the face to ensure optimal\n protection and comfort and prevent fogging.

Reg. 3)
The Tactical Parachute\n Goggle will primarily be used by personnel in special operation forces for both training\n and actual military operations. Danish special operation forces will use the Tactical\n Parachute Goggle for educational and operational tasks, both nationally and internationally.

The\n Tactical Parachute Goggle shall be consisting of either one shield type goggle (one\n lens covers both eyes) or one wrap type (two lenses covering an eye each) low profile\n eyewear and must be designed for use in combination with a helmet and shall either\n be equipped with an elastic retention strap or be capable of being directly mounted\n onto the helmet. The Tactical Parachute Goggle must provide a close and secure fit\n to the face to ensure optimal protection and comfort and prevent fogging. Lenses shall\n be easily removed from the primary frame and replaced with another lens.

Reg.\n 4)
The Arctic Goggle shall protect the soldier’s eyes from ex. snow, frost, sun\n and foreign objects. The Arctic Goggle is intended for operational use therefore,\n the soldier needs to be able to carry, put on, change configuration, stow and clean\n the systems, all during training and combat operations with gloves on.

The\n Arctic Goggle shall be a shield type goggle (one lens covers both eyes) suitable for\n arctic conditions, designed for use in combination with a helmet and shall either\n be equipped with an elastic retention strap or be capable of being directly mounted\n onto the helmet. The Arctic Goggle must provide a close and secure fit to the face\n to ensure optimal protection and comfort and prevent fogging. The Lenses in the Arctic\n Goggle shall be capable of being easily removed from the primary frame and replaced\n with another lens.

Reg. 5)
The Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction\n in the protective lenses will be used by Personnel for both training and operational\n use. The Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction in the protective lenses can\n be a one wrap type low profile eyewear (two lenses covering an eye each with prescription\n correction in the protective lenses) and should not include an RX carrier solution.
...
All\n Categories of Operational Eyewear must comply with MIL-PRF-32432A or equivalent, covering\n subject areas such as Ballistic fragmentation protection, Ultraviolet absorption,\n Haze/resistance to scratching/abrasion, Environment, User survivability and Chemical\n Resistance. The eyewear must further be assessed as a High Impact Protector in compliance\n with ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010 or equivalent.

Internal identifier: 5c4e1eb6-6764-4c9c-a7c3-b7fb93660e18

Type of procedure: Negotiated with prior publication of a call for competition / competitive with negotiation

The procedure is accelerated: no

Main features of the procedure: The procedure is conducted in two main phases: Phase 1: Request for prequalification.\n Phase 2: Tender and negotiation phase.

For Phase 1, DALO has prepared a\n prequalification questionnaire (“PQQ”) which the candidates are encouraged to use\n when submitting their request for prequalification (application). The PQQ contains\n forms and templates for providing information etc. in accordance with the requirements\n in this Contract Notice. However, it is emphasised that it is the sole responsibility\n of the candidate that the information provided fulfils the requirements. The PQQ is\n available at the electronic tendering system.

Please note that each candidate\n may only submit one request for prequalification.

Self-declarations
As\n part of the request to participate, the candidate must submit a self-declaration stating\n that the tenderer (1) is not subject to any of the mandatory grounds for exclusion\n stated in Article 39(1) of the Defence and Security Directive, and (2) to which degree\n the tenderer has unpaid overdue debt in relation to taxes or social security contributions\n under Danish law or under the law of the country in which the tenderer is established.\n The candidate must also submit a self-declaration on compliance with labour clauses,\n CSR obligations and international sanctions. Templates for such declarations are provided\n in the tendering system, which the tenderer may use. A template for the declaration\n is provided, which the tenderer may use.

Even if a candidate or a tenderer\n is subject to an exclusion ground, it will not be excluded if it has provided sufficient\n documentation that it is reliable. DALO will decide whether the documentation is sufficient.\n DALO’s assessment will be made according to the guidelines in section 138(1)-(4) of\n the Danish Act no. 1564 of 15 December 2015, as amended (the “Public Procurement Act”).

DALO\n reserves the right, at any time during the tender process, to let the candidate rectify\n a missing or inadequately completed self-declaration(s). Where groups of entities\n (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate jointly in the\n tender procedure, the declarations must be provided separately for each of the participating\n entities.

According to the Defence and Security Directive, a candidate may\n rely on the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional capacity\n of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links with the entities.\n If a candidate intends to rely on other entities and wants the capacity of such other\n entities to be taken into account when DALO assesses the suitability of the candidate,\n the candidate must prove that the other entities will and are obliged to provide the\n relevant resources at the disposal of the candidate. A template for a declaration\n from the supporting entity to this effect is also available in the tendering system.

2.1.4 General information

Additional information: No particular legal form is required. If the agreement is awarded to a group of suppliers\n (e.g. a consortium), the participants shall undertake joint and several liability\n and appoint one supplier to represent the group.

It is pointed out that this\n procedure is subject to Article 5k of Regulation (EU) no. 833/2014, as amended. The\n provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and\n Russian-controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1 for\n the exact delimitation of the operators that are subject to the prohibition). DALO\n reserves the right at any time during the tender process to require candidates or\n tenderers to prove that they are not subject to the prohibition, for example by requiring\n documentation regarding the candidates’ or tenderers and any subcontractors’ place\n of establishment and ownership.

Regarding \"Object\"
Reference is especially\n made to the requirement specifications (Appendix 1.1 - Ballistic Eyewear, Appendix\n 1.2 - Ballistic Goggle, Appendix 1.3 - Tactical Parachute Goggle, Appendix 1.4 - Arctic\n Goggle and Appendix 1.5- Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction in the protective\n lenses) for the respective categories of Operational Eyewear, where detailed requirements\n for each category of Operational Eyewear, that the offered products must comply with,\n are set out.

Regarding “Conditions of performance”
With reference to\n the principles of the Public Procurement Act, DALO reserves the right – but is not\n obliged – to use the remedies provided for in section 159(5) of the Danish Act no.\n 1564 of 15 December 2015, as amended, the Public Procurement Act, if requests to participate\n or offers do not fulfil the requirements of the tender documents. It should be noted\n that irrespective of the wording of the requirements of the tender documents to the\n effect that information, declarations and documentation must be submitted, e.g. concerning\n a description of the deliverables put up for tender, DALO is not prevented from obtaining\n additional information, etc., pursuant to the procedure in section 159(5), cf. section\n 159(6) of the Public Procurement Act.

Questions:
Any questions regarding\n the request to participate must be submitted through the electronic tender system.\n Questions will be anonymised, and the answers will be posted in the electronic tender\n system. Questions received within the deadline stated in “Additional information deadline”\n will be answered by DALO no later than 6 days before the deadline for request to participate,\n see “Deadline for receipts to participate”. However, questions received later than\n the deadline will be answered unless the nature of the question makes it disproportionately\n onerous for DALO to answer six days before the deadline for request to participate.\n Answers to questions received later than 6 days before the deadline af the request\n to participate cannot be expected.

Joint and several liability:
DALO\n demands that the candidate and each of the legal entities on whose economic and financial\n capacities the candidate relies on undertake joint and several liability for the performance\n of the agreement.

Value:
The estimated value of the framework agreement\n is DKK 60,000,000, and the maximum value of the framework agreement is 150,000,000.\n The reason for the difference between the stat-ed values is the uncertainty regarding\n the final value of the framework agreement, see below. Hence, the estimated value\n constitutes DALO’ s most qualified estimate of the value of the framework agreement\n at the present moment, while the maximum value constitutes the maximum value of purchases\n under the framework agreement in its duration.
The uncertainty regarding the final\n value of the framework agreement is primarily caused by uncertainty regarding the\n operational needs of the Danish Defence, the Ministry of Resilience and Preparedness\n and the Danish police through the duration of the framework agreement, including in\n particular uncertainty about specific deployments and mission areas, which is not\n possible to foresee for the entire span of the framework agreement. Thus, changes\n to the operational needs of the Danish Defence compared to the existing situation\n and needs may cause a significantly larger expenditure under the framework agreement\n than what is expected at the moment.

Number of candidates:
Regarding\n the number of candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure, it is\n specified that DALO will select 4 candidates by applying the criteria stated in the\n section “Participation”, unless DALO receives less than 4 compliant requests for participation.

Successive\n stages:
\"YES\" selected under the headline \"The procedure will take place in successive\n stages. In each stage, some participants may be eliminated\" shall be understood as\n selection of candidate to be prequalified by DALO and will be invited to submit tenders\n in the tender stage.

Test and Test Specimen:
The tenderer will during\n the tender process be asked to provide sample units of each category of Operational\n Eyewear. As part of the evaluation of the tenderers offer, DALO will perform test\n on the offered products (Test Specimen). The tenderer will be asked to provide Test\n Specimen (sample units) as part of the INDO procedure as well as the BAFO procedure.\n

INDO:
As a part of the INDO phase, DALO will review the sample units\n (of the offered products) in order to provide feedback on the quality of the offered\n products during the negotiations. Each tenderer is required to submit the sample units\n to DALO before the INDO deadline.

The following sample units is expected\n to be required before the INDO deadline:
Ballistic Eyewear
Model A:
1\n sample unit in size S (small), 1 sample unit in size M (medium) and 1 sample unit\n in size L (large).
Model B-E:
1 sample unit (of each model B-E) in the offered\n size range

All sample units of Ballistic Eyewear shall include a “Standard\n Package” consisting of accessories and Carrying Pouch. The tenderer shall also provide\n 1 (one) sample unit of the offered “RX carrier” with plain glass (without prescription\n correction).

The tenderer shall provide 1 sample unit of the offered models\n in the categories Ballistic Goggle, Tactical Parachute Goggle and Arctic Goggle.

Regarding\n Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction in the protective lenses the tenderer\n shall provide:
1 sample unit of the offered model with clear lens and 1 sample\n unit of the offered model with dark lens.

All sample units to be provided\n under the categories Ballistic Goggle, Tactical Parachute Goggle, Arctic Goggle and\n Ballistic Eyewear with prescription correction in the protective lenses shall include\n a “Standard Package” consisting of accessories and Carrying Pouch.

The “Standard\n Package” is further described in the Requirement specifications.

BAFO
Each\n tenderer shall provide Test Specimens (sample units), ready to be tested at the time\n of the BAFO deadline. The tenderer is expected to be asked to provide ~120 sample\n units, where ~100 units will be from category 1 Ballistic Eyewear. The exact units\n and the final distribution between the five categories and sizes will be provided\n to the tenderers in the invitation to submit BAFO.

Unused Test Specimens\n will be returned to the tenderer. Used test Specimens/sample units can be returned\n to the tenderer upon request. DALO shall not be liable for wear and tear, age-related\n deterioration, or any other damage to the Test specimens/sample units.

DALO\n will perform tests on the offered Operational Eyewear, by a user test and a Subject\n Matter Expert (SME) test. The purpose of the tests are to evaluate the Quality of\n the products. By quality DALO means the way the products perform in terms of fit,\n function and comfort.

It should be noted that Participants/tenderers shall\n not be entitled to any compensation or other form of remuneration for their participation\n in this procurement procedure, including in regard to the submission of sample units\n (test specimens).

5.1.9 Selection criteria

Sources of selection criteria: Notice

Criterion: References on specified deliveries

Description of selection criterion: The candidate must submit the Prequalification Questionnaire (“PQQ”) with the following\n information:

A list of the 5 most significant comparable supplies that the\n candidate has carried out before the expiry of the deadline for application. Only\n references relating to supplies carried out at the time of the deadline for application\n will be given importance in the evaluation of the candidate’s technical and professional\n capacity, see below. Hence, in the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the supplies\n already performed at the time of the deadline for application will be included in\n the evaluation of the reference.

Each reference is requested to include a\n description of the deliveries made in the form of:

The description of the\n delivery shall include a clear specification of the supplies (Operational Eyewear\n within categories 1–5) to which the delivery relates, as well as the Candidate’s role(s)\n in performing the delivery. The reference shall further include the volume of the\n delivery, the date of delivery, and the name of the customer (recipient).

The\n Candidate shall provide a sufficiently detailed description of the supplies delivered\n under the reference, including relevant identifying information (such as product name,\n model designation, type, version, item number, serial number, or equivalent) enabling\n the Contracting Authority to unambiguously identify the specific deliverables delivered\n in order to assess whether the supplies are comparable to the subject matter of the\n procurement and the declared category of Operational Eyewear.

A reference\n shall be deemed comparable to the relevant category of Operational Eyewear where the\n deliverables, in their overall design, function, and technical specifications, correspond\n to the relevant category of Operational Eyewear under this procurement, as further\n described in section “Identification” above.

The candidates are obligated\n to provide information regarding the date of the delivery of the reference deliveries.\n When indicating the date of the delivery, the candidate is requested to indicate the\n date of commencement and finalisation of the delivery. If this is not possible, for\n example if the tasks were performed on a continuous basis under a framework agreement,\n the candidate is asked to indicate how the date is specified.

No more than\n 5 references may be stated, irrespective of whether the candidate is a single operator,\n whether the candidate relies on the technical capacity of other entities, or is a\n group of operators (e.g., a consortium). Where more than 5 references are stated,\n only the most recent 5 references will be taken into account. Any additional references\n will be disregarded. If it is not possible to decide which references are the most\n recent 5 references, the references will be selected by drawing lots.

In\n this procedure, the candidate may rely on the technical capacity of other operators\n to fulfil the suitability requirements. The operator(s) making its/their technical\n capacity available to the candidate must sign a letter of commitment, see template\n in the tendering system.

No additional documentation of technical and professional\n capacity will be required from the candidate. However, the contracting entity reserves\n the right to contact the candidate or the customer stated in the reference for verification\n of the information stated in the reference, including the dates of the reference indicated.

Selection\n criteria:
The shortlisting of candidates invited to tender will be based on an\n evaluation of which candidates have documented the 5 most relevant deliveries, cf.\n below.
The relevance assessment will be made on the basis of the extent to which\n the 5 references, combined, document experience in the provision of deliveries that\n are comparable to the main deliverables put up for tender within category 1-5.

Where\n the Contracting Authority is unable to determine whether deliverables included in\n a reference delivery falls within one of the five categories of Operational Eyewear,\n such reference will not be taken into account in the evaluation.
In the evaluation\n of which candidates have documented the most relevant deliveries of comparable deliverables\n DALO will assess the extent to which the submitted references demonstrate (in priority)\n
(1) experience in delivering comparable Operational Eyewear within one or more\n of the five categories covered by this procurement, and
(2) geographical context\n of the deliveries.

More recent deliveries will be assessed more favourably\n than older deliveries, as they demonstrate current and relevant operational capacity.

Reg.\n (1): The assessment of each category will consider:
• The degree of correspondence\n between the delivered products and the requirements of this procurement within each\n category, including functionality and technical characteristics; and
• The documented\n volume of deliveries under the reference.

Substantial documented delivery\n volume within Category 1 will be considered particularly positive, as it demonstrates\n proven capacity to supply this category at scale.

Reg. (2): The geographical\n context of the deliveries will be taken into account, where:
• Deliveries made\n to NATO countries will be considered the most relevant and will be assessed most favourably.

•\n Deliveries made to NATO allied countries will also be considered positively, but will\n be assessed less favourably than deliveries made directly to NATO countries.

•\n Deliveries made to non-NATO countries will be considered of comparatively lower relevance.

The criteria will be used to select the candidates to be invited for the second stage of the procedure

Criterion: Other economic or financial requirements

Description of selection criterion: The candidate must submit the Prequalification Questionnaire (“PQQ”) with the following\n information:

• The candidate’s solvency ratio for the latest 3 (three) available\n financial years.

In this procedure, the candidate may rely on the economic\n and financial capacity of other operators to fulfil the suitability requirements.\n The operator(s) making its/their economic and financial capacity available to the\n candidate must sign a letter of commitment, see the template in the tendering system.\n

If the candidate relies on the economic and financial capacity of other\n entities in relation to the fulfilment of requirements, see below, the candidate and\n the entities in question will be required by the contracting entity to undertake joint\n and several liability for the performance of the contract.

The PQQ serves\n as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the requirements in respect\n of economic and financial capacity.
Before the award decision is made, the candidate\n to whom the contracting entity intends to award the contract must submit documentation\n that the information stated in the PQQ is accurate.

Upon the contracting\n entity's request, the following documentation of economic and financial capacity must\n be submitted:

• Extracts from the company’s annual reports/financial statements\n for the last 3 (three) available financial years documenting the company’s gross profit,\n or a statement of the company’s equity and assets as reflected in the annual reports/financial\n statements for the past 3 (three) available financial years.

For groups of\n operators (e.g. a consortium), the information in the three latest available annual\n report(s)/financial statement(s) available must (on the contracting entity's request)\n be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies\n on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g., a parent company,\n a sister company or a subcontractor), information for such other entities must be\n provided as well.

Minimum requirement:
As a minimum requirement, the\n candidate’s solvency ratio for the 3 (three) latest available financial years shall\n be at least 20%. The solvency ratio is calculated as the company’s total equity in\n relation to the company’s total assets, expressed as a percentage. Accordingly, the\n solvency ratio is calculated as (total equity / total assets) × 100 = solvency ratio.

For\n groups of operators (e.g., a consortium) or where the candidate relies on the economic\n and financial capacity of other entities, the solvency ratio shall be calculated as\n the combined total equity of the candidates and such other entities in relation to\n their combined total assets, expressed as a percentage. In the case of a grouping\n of economic operators (e.g. a consortium), the solvency ratio shall be calculated\n as the combined total equity of the economic opera-tors in relation to their combined\n total assets, expressed as a percentage.

The information is to be stated\n in the PQQ. DALO has uploaded a template (available in the electronic tender system)\n which can be used.
