2.Background
DALO intends to stream line and update the ATV capacity within the Army in order to achieve both operational and technical benefits to the service. Due to this requirement DALO requests to enter into an OEM framework agreement with a single supplier which includes a firm and fixed initial order for 32 ATV and 20 trailers for the Army to be delivered DDP, Incoterms 2020, at Skrydstrup, DK, with a potential total delivery of up to approximately 100 ATV in the duration of the agreement. The initial order will cover the MIL SPEC, High payload variant.
-
The potential total delivery may concern up to four different types of ATV:
-MIL SPEC, High payload capacity (Initial order)
-COTS SPEC, High payload capacity
-MIL SPEC, Low payload capacity
-COTS SPEC, Low payload capacity
.
The ATV will primarily be used in Northern Europe as a multipurpose utility vehicle or as an operational logistic vehicle. Since the ATV will be operated in different circumstances, DALO has taken the definition of the requirements in consideration with respect to redundancies, strength and reliability. The ATV shall be designed and manufactured to be ‘fit for purpose’ by OEM. The ATV’s shall therefore be as close to a common standard commercial utility vehicle as possible.
-
DALO regards the cooperation between the OEM ATV manufacturer and the Supplier of spare parts as a critical role to ensure the integrity and quality of the equipment in the operative environment.
-
DALO shall encourage you to participate in this Request for Information (RFI) by stating the requested information and upload your response to the ETHICS web portal by the 1st July 2022 at 13:00 hours.
