Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) Lautrupbjerg 1-5 Ballerup 2750 smr@kammeradvokaten.dk www.fmi.dk Acquisition of Secure Personal Radios (SPR) and subsequent sustainment. The framework agreement concerns the acquisition of Secure Personal Radios (SPR) and the subsequent sustainment of the SPRs. The sustainment of the SPR's will include purchase of spare parts and services related to the operation of the SPR. The SPRs are used for audio communication and data exchange between the soldiers and the soldiers and the vehicles. The duration of the framework agreement is 7 (seven) years. The Danish Defence has an existing radio network of SPRs consisting of around 6 000 man portable radios and more than 600 SPRs installed in vehicles. The SPRs currently owned by DALO were purchased under a framework agreement with Harris which expired in October 2016. Should DALO need to increase the amount of SPRs in their position, DALO intend to acquire more in relevant numbers. The SPR's to be bought under this framework agreement shall be integrated in the existing SPR network. 113000000.00 The procurement concerns the delivery of man portable SPRs and SPRs to be installed in vehicles as well as the subsequent sustainment of the SPRs currently owned by DALO and the SPRs to be acquired under this framework agreement. For further description please see Section II.1.4). The value stated in this notice is an estimate as the exact value of the framework agreement is not known. The framework agreement is awarded on the basis of Directive 2009/81/EC of the European Parliament and of The Council article 28, (1), (e) due to the fact that the system can only be provided and fully maintained and tested by Harris. The SPRs acquired under this framework agreement shall be integrated with the existing system (the SPR system) also provided by Harris. Associated audio solutions are not part of the framework agreement. Harris has the exclusive rights for the operating software for the SPRs. Furthermore, the SPRs currently owned by DALO can only communicate with other SPRs, whereas they cannot communicate with other radios provided by another supplier. Entering into a contract with another supplier will result in DALO having to substitute the large amount of SPRs currently owned by DALO with entirely new radios. Further the existing system has been tested with other equipment placed inside the vehicle to secure full integration with these systems and the vehicles physical area has been adjusted to the conform to the existing SPR system. Entering into a contract with another supplier will therefore require the performance of new tests and an expensive readjustment of the vehicles physical area. The economic consequences of a change in supplier will be disproportionately expensive and the associated expense will far surpass the value of this framework agreement. DALO determines that an award of a contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union to be lawful. 2017-01-27 Harris Corporation 1025 W.
