Short description of the contract or purchase(s):

This contract notice concerns DALO's award of framework agreements for the procurement of an 4 x 4 armoured patrol vehicle (APV) system (consisting of different configurations of the APV), initial spare parts and documentation as well as sustainment services, training and additional spare parts for the APVs procured.

Procurement will be based on 2 agreements/contracts. Thus, DALO will award 1) a framework agreement concerning the acquisition of the APVs, initial spare parts and documentation (the ‘Acquisition Contract’) and 2) a framework agreement concerning certain services and additional spare parts related to the APVs (the ‘Sustainment Contract’). The Acquisition Contract and Sustainment Contract are to be seen as a whole and will be awarded to the same supplier.

The supplier shall offer the APV in the following configurations (text in brackets are functional descriptions):

— Patrol (Command and control (2C), Liaison, Troop Transport. 4-5 persons).

— Electronic warfare (Collect military intelligence from enemy communication systems through monitoring and processing their networks in order to support the Danish Contingent (DANCON) and external partners. 4-5 persons).

— Support (Line Logistic Equipment transport. 2-3 persons).

— RECCE open (The vehicle will primarily act in the role of a scout vehicle, covering Light Reconnaissance. Conduct protective security and escort support during advance and withdrawal as well dismounted as mounted. Surveillance. 5-6 persons. Armaments, as in weapons, are expected to be the same as on the Patrol configuration, e.g. heavy machine gun on top).

— RECCE closed (Light Reconnaissance. Conduct protective security and escort support during advance and withdrawal as well dismounted as mounted. Surveillance. 5-6 persons).

The APVs in configuration patrol, electronic warfare, RECCE closed and support shall have Level 4a/4b mine protection, and Level 3 Ballistic protection when mission ready according to STANAG 4569 AEP 55 vol. 1 edition 2 or later edition. The RECCE open configuration shall have minimum Level 2a/2b mine protection, and Level 2 Ballistic protection when mission ready, according to STANAG 4569 AEP 55 vil. 1 edition 2 or later edition. Meaning that the chassis (underbody) shall be designed with and provide the same protection as the RECCE closed configuration. Covered areas including ballistic windows (windshield) and the side of the vehicle shall provide the same protection as corresponding areas on the RECCE closed configuration.

Please note that certificates issued by a third party institute documenting the protection level required for the Patrol configuration, shall be presented to DALO no later than at the deadline for submission of Best And Final Offers (which is currently scheduled for January 2017). With regards to the other configurations such certificates shall be presented to DALO at the time of delivery, which — if these configurations are purchased — will be September 2018 at the earliest.

The certification must be approved by a National Authority. The National Authority shall be a government appointed expert from a NATO or PFP country. DALO is willing to act as a National Authority to facilitate evaluation of the certification. If certification has not already taken place, and, if DALO will not be acting as the National Authority, DALO would like to be present during the certification process as an observer. Please also note that it will be viewed positively in the evaluation of offers, if the APV has been subject to an overmatch test.

The APVs (all configurations) shall be certified for transport by C-130J, at the time of delivery. For one APV to be certified for transport by C-130J it shall not weigh more than 5896 kg. on each Axel and be located between loadstation 537-882 in the airplane.

The main engine shall as minimum fulfil EURO III emissions norm.

The APVs shall be fully operable in climate zones Intermediate (A3), Mild cold (C0), Intermediate cold (C1) according to AECTP-230.

Furthermore, the APVs shall comply with requirements related to occupational safety and environmental aspects.

Prior to delivery of APVs, the supplier shall install a variety of equipment that is furnished by DALO. This equipment could, for instance, include remote controlled weapon stations, battle management systems, radio equipment, etc. The type of equipment will depend on the configuration in question.

The APVs will function in a full-spectrum operational environment from war to humanitarian missions with multiple and diverse threats presenting themselves. This demands that the APVs are flexible, highly mobile and agile in the terrain.

Also — since the APV is expected to be in use for at least 15 years — development potential in terms of payload (minimum 200 kg + mission configuration), power supply and integration of future technologies are considered essential.

As stated in section II.1.4) above, DALO expects to make an initial purchase of up to 36 APVs with expected delivery in 2018 as a supplement of the existing fleet for the Danish Army. The initial purchase is expected to be of APVs in the PATROL configuration, but DALO may decide that some of the APVs shall be in another configuration. During the lifetime of the Acquisition Contract, DALO retains the right to order additional APVs (in different configurations within the vehicle system).

The supplier shall have a full system responsibility. The exact terms and conditions for the supplier's system responsibility will be described in detail in the contracts.
