2.1 Procedure

Titel: Acquisition of RORO Vessels for JMTO ARK

Beskrivelse: Background: JMTO is responsible for planning, organizing and executing transport solutions\n for all units within the Danish Defence. JMTO is planning to enter into a contract\n that meets the Danish Defence’s demand for Chartering of Vessels for the ARK Project\n (ARK) as secured access to strategic sealift for military and humanitarian purpose.\n This involves RORO's (Roll On, Roll Off) on time charter, some of those with equipped\n special ARK features, i. e. enhanced maneuverability, ability to load Dangerous Goods,\n sufficient capacity for heavy vehicles, crane capacity and side ramp in addition to\n stern ramp. The requirements related to transportation for the Danish Defence are\n constantly evolving due to the change in the context in which the Danish Defence operates.\n It is therefore expected that during the term of the contract there will be a development\n in the nature of the equipment to be moved and the places to be serviced due to the\n continuous change and development of the Danish Defence and the tasks to be solved.\n Denmark and Germany which is part of the ARK are members of the Movement Coordination\n Centre Eindhoven (MCCE), a multinational organization that coordinates and optimizes\n strategic transport on behalf of its 28 members (within EU and NATO). Objective: The\n overall objective with the contract is to provide JMTO and hereby the Danish Defence\n with access to minimum 3 and maximum 8 civilian RORO Vessels (5 as JMTO options) on\n terms where 6 vessels, all registered under Danish flag, are being time chartered\n by JMTO and afterwards re-chartered to Vessel owner/operator in idle periods in order\n to reduce costs, however subject to a call back clause at various terms and notice\n of readiness (varying from days to months). Two vessels, registered under EU/NATO\n flag, shall be offered as a dormant contract as alternative to time chartering. A\n dormant contract in this respect is considered a calling right for an unnamed RORO\n Vessel carrying EU/NATO flag within a specified size range. The geographical area\n of operation will primarily be within the European continent area, but worldwide operations\n shall be possible for all Vessels. Size of the RORO is expected within the range of\n 1.900 LM and up to approx. 4.200 LM. Charter parties (contracts) will be drawn up\n for each vessel and will be based on BIMCO Standard CP Baltime 1939 (Rev. 2001) with\n amendments and Rider Clauses made by JMTO. The primary tasks envisioned by JMTO ARK\n is the transport of military equipment and other commodities for sustainment of military\n operations, missions, training exercises, humanitarian disaster relief situations,\n routine transports and to be part of other tasks such as the use of sea-based platforms\n for various tasks. Further, tasks might contain transport for both Danish and international\n Military as well as transport with civilian purposes and might take place in areas\n not normal for standard vessel transport. This Contract will be signed off with only\n one candidate/tenderer. Thus, the candidate/tenderer must offer all 8 Vessels. However,\n JMTO reserves the right to sign up for less than all 8 Vessels depending on the offers\n received. It is important for JMTO that the candidate demonstrates robustness by operating\n on his own account, e.g. as the Owner, and having sufficient additional vessel to\n maintain his daily business in case JMTO activates some or all the contracted vessels.\n Further, the degree of support provided by the supplier during planning and conduct\n of transports and operations is vital for JMTO. Below a short list of the Vessels\n needed: 1. (Ship 5): Delivery Q1 26 (January). Duration of 4 years + optional additional\n 1+1 year (6 years). Size 2.600-3.500 LM 2. (Ship 2): Delivery Q1 26 (January). Duration\n of 4 years + optional additional 1+1 year (6 years). Size 1.800-2.500 LM. 3. (Ship\n 3): Delivery Q1 26 (January). Duration of 4 years + optional additional 1+1 year (6\n years). Size 2.600-3.500 LM • OPTION 1: (Ship 1): Delivery Q1 27 (January). Duration\n of 3 years + optional additional 1+1+1 year (6 years). Size 2.900-3.800 LM • OPTION\n 2: (Ship 4): Delivery Q1 27 (January). Duration of 3 years + optional additional 1+1+1\n year (6 years).

Size 1.900-4.200 LM.\n • OPTION 5: (Ship 8): Delivery Q1 26 (January) Duration 4 years + optional 1+1 year\n (6 years). Requested as dormant contract without re-chartering. Size 1.900-4.200 LM\n Ship 2, Ship 3 and Ship 5 will be signed off as the main delivery by this contract\n if received offers allows so. The additional vessel options 1 thru 5 (Ship 1, 4, 6,\n 7 and 8) will be exercised one by one in connection with contract award and might\n be signed off as many as JMTO finds relevant for signing. The tender documents released\n after pre-qualification will advise further information and specific requirements\n for the vessels and terms of chartering and re-chartering. JMTO reserves the right\n to nominate one or more of the contracted Vessels as a Naval Auxiliary Vessel for\n a limited period and subject to final details and agreement.

Hovedpunkterne i proceduren: Please note that each candidate may only submit one request for participation. JMTO\n has prepared a prequalification questionnaire (“PQQ”) which the candidates are encouraged\n to use when submitting their applications. The PQQ contains forms and templates for\n providing information etc. in accordance with the requirements in this Contract Notice.\n However, it is emphasised that it is the sole responsibility of the candidate that\n the information provided fulfils the requirements.

JMTO will\n decide whether the documentation is sufficient. JMTO’s assessment will be made according\n to the guidelines in section 138(1)-(4) of the Danish Act no. 1564 of 15 December\n 2015, as amended (the “Public Procurement Act”). JMTO reserves the right to award\n the agreement based on the first indicative offer of any subsequent indicative offers\n without further negotiation. According to the Defence and Security Directive, a candidate\n may rely on the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional\n capacity 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 JMTO 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 included in the PQQ referred to above.

The estimate includes delivery of Ship 1 to 8\n with all options, and the calculation includes Charterers total use of the vessels\n of 90-150 days per year exclusive bunkers. Tenderers are expressly made aware that\n JMTO reserves the right to regard the INDO as a best and final offer (BAFO) and to\n close the tender procedure and award the Contract on the basis of the submitted INDO,\n i.e. without conducting any negotiations. Please note, that each candidate can only\n submit one request for participation. If the same legal entity is a part of or in\n any other way participates in several applications, e.g. submits his own application\n and at the same time participates in a consortium which also applies, the candidates\n shall ensure that the same legal entity’s participation does not provide for opportunity\n for mutual coordination of their applications and offers. JMTO reserves the right\n to request the candidates to establish and reassure JMTO that the same legal entity’s\n participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the\n tenderers. Candidates are requested to submit their request to participate via Kammeradvokaten/Advokatfirmaet\n Poul Schmith's digital tendering system. The permalink is stated in this Contract\n Notice. The request to participate cannot be submitted by e-mail. JMTO have prepared\n a prequalification questionnaire (PQQ) which candidates are strongly encouraged to\n use when submitting their applications. The questionnaire contains questions, forms\n and templates for providing information etc. in accordance with the requirements in\n this Contract Notice. However, it is emphasized that it is the sole responsibility\n of the candidate that the information provided fulfils the requirements. According\n to the EU defence directive, a candidate may rely on the economic and financial standing\n and/or technical and/or professional capacity of other entities, regardless of the\n legal nature of the links with the entities. If a candidate wants to rely on other\n entities and wishes that the capacity of other entities is taken into account when\n JMTO assesses the suitability of the candidate, the candidate must prove that the\n other entities will and shall put the relevant resources at the disposal of the candidate.\n A template for a declaration from the supporting entity to this effect is included\n in the prequalification questionnaire referred to above. In accordance with section\n 134a of the Danish Public Procurement Act the contracting entity shall exclude a candidate\n or tenderer from participation in a procurement procedure where the candidate or tenderer\n is established in a country that is included in the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions\n for tax purposes and has not acceded to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement or\n other trade agreements committing Denmark to open the public procurement market to\n tenderers established in that country. However, for reasons of overriding public interest,\n the contracting entity may refrain from excluding a candidate or tenderer that is\n subject to the ground for exclusion. No particular legal form is required. If the\n Contract is awarded to a group of suppliers (e.g. a consortium), the participants\n shall undertake joint and several liability and appoint one supplier to represent\n the group. As part of the request to participate (included in the PQQ), the candidate\n must submit a declaration that an award of the Contract will not conflict with the\n prohibition stated in Article 5k, section 1 of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, as amended.\n The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies\n and Russian-controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1\n for the exact delimitation of the operators that are subject to the prohibition).\n JMTO reserves the right, at any time during the tender process, to let the candidate\n rectify a missing or inadequately completed declaration. JMTO has included a template\n in the PQQ (available in the electronic tender system) which must be used as a declaration.\n Where groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate\n jointly in the tender procedure, the declaration must be provided separately for each\n of the participating entities. JMTO reserves the right – but is not obliged – to use\n the remedies provided for in section 159(5) of the Danish Act no. 1564 of 15 December\n 2015, as amended, the Public Procurement Act, if requests to participate or offers\n do not fulfil the requirements of the tender documents. It should be noted that irrespective\n of the wording of the requirements of the tender documents to the effect that information,\n declarations and documentation must be submitted, e.g. concerning a description of\n the deliverables put up for tender, JMTO is not prevented from obtaining additional\n information, etc., pursuant to the procedure in section 159(5), cf. section 159(6)\n of the Public Procurement Act. Any questions regarding the request to participate\n must be submitted through the electronic tender system. Questions will be anonymised,\n and the answers will be posted in the electronic tender system. Questions received\n by JMTO no later than 7 August 2024 will always be answered no later than 6 days before\n the deadline for submission of request for participation. Questions asked after this\n deadline will be answered if they are received in time for JMTO to answer not later\n than six days before expiry of the deadline for submission of request for participation.\n Answers to questions received later than 6 days before the deadline for submission\n of the request to participate cannot be expected. JMTO demands that the candidate\n and each of the legal entities on whose economic and financial capacities the candidate\n relies undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the agreement.\n Regarding the selection of candidates it is specified that JMTO will select 4 candidates\n by applying the criteria stated in this Contract Notice, unless JMTO receives no more\n than 4 compliant requests for participation. The tender documents will only be made\n available for the prequalified candidates. The tender documents include information\n which is classified at the level TIL TJENESTEBRUG (TTJ) (“NATO RESTRICTED” / “EU RESTRICTED”).\n Only the non-classified tender documents will be made available at the electronic\n tendering system, while the classified tender documents will be forwarded to the prequalified\n candidates by postal mail. Only candidates/entities domiciled in Denmark or in a country\n which has a security agreement with Denmark, can gain access to the classified information,\n and only if the candidate/entity has signed and returned to DALO the required confidentiality\n undertaking (this document is available at the electronic tendering system). The undersigned\n confidentiality undertaking should be enclosed in the candidate’s application (PQQ)\n for request to participation. By “security agreement” is understood an agreement regarding\n mutual protection of classified information.

Navn: List of suitable RORO vessels and references - minimum requirement and selection of\n candidates

Beskrivelse: The candidate must as part of the PQQ provide: 1) A list of suitable RORO vessels\n for the contract described in this Contract Notice, the candidate owns and operates,\n respectively, at the time of applying for this tender. The list must include size\n and age of the vessel, and which flag each of these RORO’s are registered under. 2)\n A statement of the number of suitable RORO Vessels for the contract described in this\n Contract Notice, the candidate has been operating per year as an average for three\n past calendar years. 3) A list of the most important similar deliveries (references),\n in regard to the contract described in this Contract Notice, carried out within the\n past 5 (five) years prior to the deadline for the request to participate. Only the\n deliveries (references) performed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate\n will be considered when assessing if the minimum requirement for suitability stated\n below is fulfilled/ which candidate has documented the most relevant previous deliveries.\n If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the services carried\n out within the past 5 (five) years and completed at the time of the deadline for the\n request to participate which will be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference).\n Consequently, if a part of the services has not been carried out within the past 5\n (five) years or if a part of the services has not been completed at the time of the\n deadline for the request to participate, this particular part will not be included\n in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Therefore, it is important that the\n candidate/tenderer clearly states which part (e.g. with regard to an ongoing delivery\n (reference) that has been carried out within the past 5 (five) years). The list of\n the most important similar delivers is expected to include the following information\n regarding each delivery: - an indication of the type of Chartering Method - a clear\n indication of which specific parts the deliveries are similar to the services described\n in this notice - a description of the contractual foundation on which the delivery\n was made and whether or not it was made under a long term contract (meaning a duration\n of more than two years) - a description of the candidates’ participation/ role in\n the performance of the delivery and a clear indication of whether the candidate has\n contributed to and assisted with the planning of the transport - a description of\n the type of Vessel with specific notice for RORO operations and especially Military\n or similar - a description should also contain information on the date of the deliveries,\n the size/quantity/volume and value of the deliveries, the recipients of the deliveries\n (specific names/countries are preferred, but not necessary); if no country specific\n information is included, the candidate is asked to provide as much generic information\n as possible including information about the recipient being the military or a customer\n with a similar characteristic as the military. When specifying the date for the deliveries,\n the candidate should state the date for the commencement and completion of the deliveries.\n If this is not possible, e.g. because the delivery in question is performed on an\n ongoing basis according to a framework agreement, the description of the deliveries\n should nonetheless contain information on how the date is set. The list must contain\n a maximum of five previous deliveries whether the candidate is one entity, composed\n of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures or relies\n on the technical and professional capacity of other entities. If the list contains\n more than five, JMTO will only consider the first five deliveries on the list. Deliveries\n beyond that will be disregarded. It must as a minimum be demonstrated that the candidate\n operates minimum 10 suitable RORO vessels at his own account at the time of applying\n for participation for this tender.

Beskrivelse: The tender documents will contain information classified RESTRICTED and FOR OFFICIAL\n USE ONLY (Equal to in Danish \"TIL TJENESTEBRUG\") according to the classified information\n nomenclature used in the Danish Defense. Due to the short time between pre-qualification\n and the final tender procedure it will not be possible to conduct a formal security\n clearance of the candidates/tenderer’s prior distribution of final tender documents.\n Instead tenderers must as part of the prequalification process sign and return a statement\n related to classified information received in the tender procedure (interim security\n statement) as included in the PQQ. Detailed information about the level of readiness\n as well as each single task both during planning and execution might be classified\n in accordance with the classified information nomenclature used in the Danish Defense.\n Therefore, supplier is obligated to obtain and maintain security clearance throughout\n the contract period in order to be able to handle, store and hand over classified\n information. Hence, for the duration of the contract the awarded tenderer’s company\n and a limited number of key personnel shall be obligated to achieve/obtain and maintain\n security clearance varying from RESTRICTED up to SECRET as soon as possible, application\n must be submitted latest one month after commencement of the contract. Further details\n will follow from the contract. For further information concerning security clearance\n please refer to the Danish Defence Intelligence Service, www.fe-ddis.dk

2 Procedure

2.1 Procedure

Title: Acquisition of RORO Vessels for JMTO ARK

Description: Background: JMTO is responsible for planning, organizing and executing transport solutions\n for all units within the Danish Defence. JMTO is planning to enter into a contract\n that meets the Danish Defence’s demand for Chartering of Vessels for the ARK Project\n (ARK) as secured access to strategic sealift for military and humanitarian purpose.\n This involves RORO's (Roll On, Roll Off) on time charter, some of those with equipped\n special ARK features, i. e. enhanced maneuverability, ability to load Dangerous Goods,\n sufficient capacity for heavy vehicles, crane capacity and side ramp in addition to\n stern ramp. The requirements related to transportation for the Danish Defence are\n constantly evolving due to the change in the context in which the Danish Defence operates.\n It is therefore expected that during the term of the contract there will be a development\n in the nature of the equipment to be moved and the places to be serviced due to the\n continuous change and development of the Danish Defence and the tasks to be solved.\n Denmark and Germany which is part of the ARK are members of the Movement Coordination\n Centre Eindhoven (MCCE), a multinational organization that coordinates and optimizes\n strategic transport on behalf of its 28 members (within EU and NATO). Objective: The\n overall objective with the contract is to provide JMTO and hereby the Danish Defence\n with access to minimum 3 and maximum 8 civilian RORO Vessels (5 as JMTO options) on\n terms where 6 vessels, all registered under Danish flag, are being time chartered\n by JMTO and afterwards re-chartered to Vessel owner/operator in idle periods in order\n to reduce costs, however subject to a call back clause at various terms and notice\n of readiness (varying from days to months). Two vessels, registered under EU/NATO\n flag, shall be offered as a dormant contract as alternative to time chartering. A\n dormant contract in this respect is considered a calling right for an unnamed RORO\n Vessel carrying EU/NATO flag within a specified size range. The geographical area\n of operation will primarily be within the European continent area, but worldwide operations\n shall be possible for all Vessels. Size of the RORO is expected within the range of\n 1.900 LM and up to approx. 4.200 LM. Charter parties (contracts) will be drawn up\n for each vessel and will be based on BIMCO Standard CP Baltime 1939 (Rev. 2001) with\n amendments and Rider Clauses made by JMTO. The primary tasks envisioned by JMTO ARK\n is the transport of military equipment and other commodities for sustainment of military\n operations, missions, training exercises, humanitarian disaster relief situations,\n routine transports and to be part of other tasks such as the use of sea-based platforms\n for various tasks. Further, tasks might contain transport for both Danish and international\n Military as well as transport with civilian purposes and might take place in areas\n not normal for standard vessel transport. This Contract will be signed off with only\n one candidate/tenderer. Thus, the candidate/tenderer must offer all 8 Vessels. However,\n JMTO reserves the right to sign up for less than all 8 Vessels depending on the offers\n received. It is important for JMTO that the candidate demonstrates robustness by operating\n on his own account, e.g. as the Owner, and having sufficient additional vessel to\n maintain his daily business in case JMTO activates some or all the contracted vessels.\n Further, the degree of support provided by the supplier during planning and conduct\n of transports and operations is vital for JMTO. Below a short list of the Vessels\n needed: 1. (Ship 5): Delivery Q1 26 (January). Duration of 4 years + optional additional\n 1+1 year (6 years). Size 2.600-3.500 LM 2. (Ship 2): Delivery Q1 26 (January). Duration\n of 4 years + optional additional 1+1 year (6 years). Size 1.800-2.500 LM. 3. (Ship\n 3): Delivery Q1 26 (January). Duration of 4 years + optional additional 1+1 year (6\n years). Size 2.600-3.500 LM • OPTION 1: (Ship 1): Delivery Q1 27 (January). Duration\n of 3 years + optional additional 1+1+1 year (6 years). Size 2.900-3.800 LM • OPTION\n 2: (Ship 4): Delivery Q1 27 (January). Duration of 3 years + optional additional 1+1+1\n year (6 years). Size 2.900-3.800 LM • OPTION 3: (Ship 6): Delivery Q1 27 (January).\n Duration of 3 years + optional additional 1+1 year (5 years). Size 2.600-4.000 LM\n • OPTION 4: (Ship 7): Delivery Q1 27 (January) Duration 3 years + optional 1+1 year\n (5 years). Requested as dormant contract without re-chartering. Size 1.900-4.200 LM.\n • OPTION 5: (Ship 8): Delivery Q1 26 (January) Duration 4 years + optional 1+1 year\n (6 years). Requested as dormant contract without re-chartering. Size 1.900-4.200 LM\n Ship 2, Ship 3 and Ship 5 will be signed off as the main delivery by this contract\n if received offers allows so. The additional vessel options 1 thru 5 (Ship 1, 4, 6,\n 7 and 8) will be exercised one by one in connection with contract award and might\n be signed off as many as JMTO finds relevant for signing. The tender documents released\n after pre-qualification will advise further information and specific requirements\n for the vessels and terms of chartering and re-chartering. JMTO reserves the right\n to nominate one or more of the contracted Vessels as a Naval Auxiliary Vessel for\n a limited period and subject to final details and agreement.

JMTO will\n decide whether the documentation is sufficient. JMTO’s assessment will be made according\n to the guidelines in section 138(1)-(4) of the Danish Act no. 1564 of 15 December\n 2015, as amended (the “Public Procurement Act”). JMTO reserves the right to award\n the agreement based on the first indicative offer of any subsequent indicative offers\n without further negotiation. According to the Defence and Security Directive, a candidate\n may rely on the economic and financial standing and/or technical and/or professional\n capacity 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 JMTO 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 included in the PQQ referred to above.

Tenderers are expressly made aware that\n JMTO reserves the right to regard the INDO as a best and final offer (BAFO) and to\n close the tender procedure and award the Contract on the basis of the submitted INDO,\n i.e. without conducting any negotiations. Please note, that each candidate can only\n submit one request for participation. If the same legal entity is a part of or in\n any other way participates in several applications, e.g. submits his own application\n and at the same time participates in a consortium which also applies, the candidates\n shall ensure that the same legal entity’s participation does not provide for opportunity\n for mutual coordination of their applications and offers. JMTO reserves the right\n to request the candidates to establish and reassure JMTO that the same legal entity’s\n participation does not threaten the transparency and distort competition between the\n tenderers. Candidates are requested to submit their request to participate via Kammeradvokaten/Advokatfirmaet\n Poul Schmith's digital tendering system. The permalink is stated in this Contract\n Notice. The request to participate cannot be submitted by e-mail. JMTO have prepared\n a prequalification questionnaire (PQQ) which candidates are strongly encouraged to\n use when submitting their applications. The questionnaire contains questions, forms\n and templates for providing information etc. in accordance with the requirements in\n this Contract Notice. However, it is emphasized that it is the sole responsibility\n of the candidate that the information provided fulfils the requirements. According\n to the EU defence directive, a candidate may rely on the economic and financial standing\n and/or technical and/or professional capacity of other entities, regardless of the\n legal nature of the links with the entities. If a candidate wants to rely on other\n entities and wishes that the capacity of other entities is taken into account when\n JMTO assesses the suitability of the candidate, the candidate must prove that the\n other entities will and shall put the relevant resources at the disposal of the candidate.\n A template for a declaration from the supporting entity to this effect is included\n in the prequalification questionnaire referred to above.

However, for reasons of overriding public interest,\n the contracting entity may refrain from excluding a candidate or tenderer that is\n subject to the ground for exclusion. No particular legal form is required. If the\n Contract is awarded to a group of suppliers (e.g. a consortium), the participants\n shall undertake joint and several liability and appoint one supplier to represent\n the group. As part of the request to participate (included in the PQQ), the candidate\n must submit a declaration that an award of the Contract will not conflict with the\n prohibition stated in Article 5k, section 1 of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, as amended.\n The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies\n and Russian-controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1\n for the exact delimitation of the operators that are subject to the prohibition).\n JMTO reserves the right, at any time during the tender process, to let the candidate\n rectify a missing or inadequately completed declaration. JMTO has included a template\n in the PQQ (available in the electronic tender system) which must be used as a declaration.\n Where groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate\n jointly in the tender procedure, the declaration must be provided separately for each\n of the participating entities. JMTO reserves the right – but is not obliged – to use\n the remedies provided for in section 159(5) of the Danish Act no. 1564 of 15 December\n 2015, as amended, the Public Procurement Act, if requests to participate or offers\n do not fulfil the requirements of the tender documents. It should be noted that irrespective\n of the wording of the requirements of the tender documents to the effect that information,\n declarations and documentation must be submitted, e.g. concerning a description of\n the deliverables put up for tender, JMTO is not prevented from obtaining additional\n information, etc., pursuant to the procedure in section 159(5), cf. section 159(6)\n of the Public Procurement Act. Any questions regarding the request to participate\n must be submitted through the electronic tender system. Questions will be anonymised,\n and the answers will be posted in the electronic tender system. Questions received\n by JMTO no later than 7 August 2024 will always be answered no later than 6 days before\n the deadline for submission of request for participation. Questions asked after this\n deadline will be answered if they are received in time for JMTO to answer not later\n than six days before expiry of the deadline for submission of request for participation.\n Answers to questions received later than 6 days before the deadline for submission\n of the request to participate cannot be expected. JMTO demands that the candidate\n and each of the legal entities on whose economic and financial capacities the candidate\n relies undertake joint and several liability for the performance of the agreement.\n Regarding the selection of candidates it is specified that JMTO will select 4 candidates\n by applying the criteria stated in this Contract Notice, unless JMTO receives no more\n than 4 compliant requests for participation. The tender documents will only be made\n available for the prequalified candidates. The tender documents include information\n which is classified at the level TIL TJENESTEBRUG (TTJ) (“NATO RESTRICTED” / “EU RESTRICTED”).\n Only the non-classified tender documents will be made available at the electronic\n tendering system, while the classified tender documents will be forwarded to the prequalified\n candidates by postal mail. Only candidates/entities domiciled in Denmark or in a country\n which has a security agreement with Denmark, can gain access to the classified information,\n and only if the candidate/entity has signed and returned to DALO the required confidentiality\n undertaking (this document is available at the electronic tendering system). The undersigned\n confidentiality undertaking should be enclosed in the candidate’s application (PQQ)\n for request to participation.

Name: List of suitable RORO vessels and references - minimum requirement and selection of\n candidates

Description: The candidate must as part of the PQQ provide: 1) A list of suitable RORO vessels\n for the contract described in this Contract Notice, the candidate owns and operates,\n respectively, at the time of applying for this tender. The list must include size\n and age of the vessel, and which flag each of these RORO’s are registered under. 2)\n A statement of the number of suitable RORO Vessels for the contract described in this\n Contract Notice, the candidate has been operating per year as an average for three\n past calendar years. 3) A list of the most important similar deliveries (references),\n in regard to the contract described in this Contract Notice, carried out within the\n past 5 (five) years prior to the deadline for the request to participate. Only the\n deliveries (references) performed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate\n will be considered when assessing if the minimum requirement for suitability stated\n below is fulfilled/ which candidate has documented the most relevant previous deliveries.\n If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of the services carried\n out within the past 5 (five) years and completed at the time of the deadline for the\n request to participate which will be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference).\n Consequently, if a part of the services has not been carried out within the past 5\n (five) years or if a part of the services has not been completed at the time of the\n deadline for the request to participate, this particular part will not be included\n in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Therefore, it is important that the\n candidate/tenderer clearly states which part (e.g. with regard to an ongoing delivery\n (reference) that has been carried out within the past 5 (five) years). The list of\n the most important similar delivers is expected to include the following information\n regarding each delivery: - an indication of the type of Chartering Method - a clear\n indication of which specific parts the deliveries are similar to the services described\n in this notice - a description of the contractual foundation on which the delivery\n was made and whether or not it was made under a long term contract (meaning a duration\n of more than two years) - a description of the candidates’ participation/ role in\n the performance of the delivery and a clear indication of whether the candidate has\n contributed to and assisted with the planning of the transport - a description of\n the type of Vessel with specific notice for RORO operations and especially Military\n or similar - a description should also contain information on the date of the deliveries,\n the size/quantity/volume and value of the deliveries, the recipients of the deliveries\n (specific names/countries are preferred, but not necessary); if no country specific\n information is included, the candidate is asked to provide as much generic information\n as possible including information about the recipient being the military or a customer\n with a similar characteristic as the military. When specifying the date for the deliveries,\n the candidate should state the date for the commencement and completion of the deliveries.\n If this is not possible, e.g. because the delivery in question is performed on an\n ongoing basis according to a framework agreement, the description of the deliveries\n should nonetheless contain information on how the date is set. The list must contain\n a maximum of five previous deliveries whether the candidate is one entity, composed\n of a group of entities (e.g. consortium), including temporary joint ventures or relies\n on the technical and professional capacity of other entities. If the list contains\n more than five, JMTO will only consider the first five deliveries on the list. Deliveries\n beyond that will be disregarded. It must as a minimum be demonstrated that the candidate\n operates minimum 10 suitable RORO vessels at his own account at the time of applying\n for participation for this tender.

Due to the short time between pre-qualification\n and the final tender procedure it will not be possible to conduct a formal security\n clearance of the candidates/tenderer’s prior distribution of final tender documents.\n Instead tenderers must as part of the prequalification process sign and return a statement\n related to classified information received in the tender procedure (interim security\n statement) as included in the PQQ. Detailed information about the level of readiness\n as well as each single task both during planning and execution might be classified\n in accordance with the classified information nomenclature used in the Danish Defense.\n Therefore, supplier is obligated to obtain and maintain security clearance throughout\n the contract period in order to be able to handle, store and hand over classified\n information. Hence, for the duration of the contract the awarded tenderer’s company\n and a limited number of key personnel shall be obligated to achieve/obtain and maintain\n security clearance varying from RESTRICTED up to SECRET as soon as possible, application\n must be submitted latest one month after commencement of the contract. Further details\n will follow from the contract. For further information concerning security clearance\n please refer to the Danish Defence Intelligence Service, www.fe-ddis.dk
