Denmark – Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services – Offentligt udbud af Rammeaftale for rådgivning vedrørende Forsvarets aktiviteter i Arktis

The Ministry of Defence has several activities in the Arctic, including in Greenland and the Faroe Islands, which continuously entail a need to procure advice, particularly in the environmental field. Previous and current activities may have resulted in pollution for which the Ministry of Defence is responsible for investigating and assessing the risk of. The Ministry of Defence is also responsible for ensuring that both future and current activities do not pose a risk to the environment, nature, and people residing in the areas. There may therefore also be a need for remediation or to prevent pollution. In connection with the activities in the Arctic, the Ministry of Defence therefore has a need for external advice within, among other things, the environment and nature, particularly in relation to the handling of soil and groundwater pollution and industrial environment, and to a lesser extent within the building and construction technical field, to the extent that it concerns environmental conditions. The framework agreement is awarded to three tenderers. All advisory tasks under the Framework Agreement are awarded through renewed competitive tendering (mini-tender) among the three tenderers who are awarded a place on the Framework Agreement. The overall contractual terms and conditions as well as requirements for the advisors and the services appear from the Framework Agreement with the accompanying appendices, while a more concrete specification of the services related to the individual advisory task will appear from the fee agreements incl. appendices, which are awarded through mini-tender under the Framework Agreement. The content of the individual fee agreements may vary in type and scope, and the Establishment and Terrain Command (hereafter "ETK") therefore does not have an obligation to include all services in the service description in each individual fee agreement. ETK is a subordinate authority to the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (FKO). It may therefore occur that other authorities under FKO can draw on the agreement, including in particular the Danish Armed Forces (AKO).
