Danish Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has been requested to procure one fast Search and Rescue (SAR) vessel for the Danish Coastal Rescue Service (DCRS) life boat station on the island of Anholt.

34513700 Rescue vessels

NUTS code: DK Danmark

The vessel tendered for shall be on alert as part of the DCRS service in the waters of central Kattegat. The vessel is required to operate in harsh weather conditions which will set the baseline for the requirement to the vessel as these are further described in the tender material.

The vessel is expected to perform a wide variety of operations including SAR operations, assistance to other vessels, fire fighting, towing operations, transport of patients, ‘On Scene Coordinator’ (OSC), etc. The variety of operations sets high demands for the vessel’s ability to be a safe and reliable platform for the crew to work from.

It should be emphasized that this procurement of a vessel is a replacement acquisition in order to replace one decommissioned vessel and not a procurement program for more than one vessel. Besides the vessel, an initial training packet (maintenance and operational part) will be included in the acquisition.

It must also be emphasized that time of delivery is of essential interest to DALO and DCRS since the latter is in an acute need of the described vessel. Accordingly DALO is seeking an already designed, potentially build, vessel that may be delivered in short time. DALO will accept offers of a newly produced vessel or a used vessel build within the last 4 years from the deadline for submitting an offer, if such a vessel meets the requirements described in the tender material.

This contract is subject to renewal: no

Variants will be accepted: no

Options: no

The procurement is related to a project and/or programme financed by European Union funds: no

The contract is not divided into lots since the tender procedure concerns the acquisition of one vessel.

When groups of entities (e.g. consortiums), including temporary joint ventures, participate in the tender procedure together, the documentation must be provided for each of the participating entities. If the tenderer relies on the economic and financial standing of another entity or entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), the documentation must equally be provided for each entity or entities.

Be advised that DALO at any time during the procurement procedure can request that the tenderer presents the above mentioned documentation if this is deemed necessary to secure that the procurement procedure is conducted correctly. In this situation, DALO will set an appropriate time limit for the submission of the documentation.

Please note that a tenderer may rely on the economic and financial standing of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the tenderer and the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies. In this case, the tenderer shall ensure that an ESPD from the entity or entities on which the tenderer relies is submitted along with the tenderers own ESPD. The entity or entities’ ESPD must equally provide the information listed above.

Open procedure

Accelerated procedure

Justification:

The Danish Coastal Rescue Service is in an acute need of a rescue vessel to be put in service from the island of Anholt, preferably at the latest by the end of august 2021 after which weather conditions are expected to cause difficulties for the present vessels at Anholt to execute rescue missions. The rescue vessel tendered for is thus paramount to the Rescue Service's capabilities in the said area.

It is DALO's understanding that manufacturing and delivery of a rescue vessel of the type DALO is seeking on behalf of the Danish Coastal Rescue Service may take between six to 10 months. Thus, DALO needs to award a contract of such a purchase as fast as possible. meaning that DALO cannot await the deadlines applied to a regular procedure.
