General information
Additional information
:
This notice does not concern a contract award within a framework agreement, irrespective of whether the text in this contract notice may suggest this. The notice concerns the award of a framework agreement to one supplier without reopening of the competition. It is DALO's assesment that there is a limited opportunity for exposing the framework agreement for competition at a later moment, and that DALO will risk ending up in a sole supplier situation, before DALO's kapacity of iDirect equipment has to be replaced on an overall level, if the duration of the greement is not set at potentially 12 years.
Legal basis

Directive 2009/81/EC
Ministerial Order No. 1077 of 29 June 2022
-
The Ministerial Order, which also contains supplementary provisions, implements the Defence and Security Directive (Directive 2009/81/EC) in Danish law.
