Denmark – Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories – Udbud af tre rammeaftaler vedrørende indkøb af træningsudstyr

Team Denmark's organisation consists of an executive director, a sports director, and approximately 50 employees working within seven sports-related areas: Sports cooperation, career and talent development, sports medicine, sports physiology, analysis, nutrition, and psychology. Team Denmark's vision is to create the best possible conditions and frameworks for Danish elite sports and for the individual athletes. Developing world-class elite sports for Team Denmark means ensuring a red thread through the athlete's journey – from the club where it all starts, all the way to the top of the medal podium and beyond to life after the sports career. It is about both people and medals. To fulfill this vision, it is crucial that Team Denmark's athletes and coaches have access to high-quality training equipment that supports optimal training, recovery, and performance at the highest international level. Team Denmark therefore wishes, with this tender, to purchase training equipment that will contribute to securing the best possible physical conditions and frameworks for the Danish elite athletes to develop and realize their full potential within an overall budget of 8 million DKK excl. VAT. On this background, Team Denmark offers the following three non-exclusive sub-contracts, all of which are offered as framework agreements for a 4-year period, but where the supplier awarded the individual sub-contract is guaranteed a one-time purchase made by Team Denmark immediately after the conclusion of the relevant sub-contract, and where the training equipment covered by the one-time purchase must be delivered to Team Denmark no later than by April 2027: (i) Sub-contract A, concerning a one-time purchase of cardio equipment as well as ongoing purchases of cardio equipment with a maximum amount of 2.5 million DKK excl. VAT in total (ii) Sub-contract B, concerning a one-time purchase of training machines as well as ongoing purchases of training machines with a maximum amount of 2.5 million DKK excl. VAT in total (iii) Sub-contract C, concerning a one-time purchase of bars and free weights as well as ongoing purchases of bars and free weights with a maximum amount of 3 million DKK excl. VAT in total. The one-time purchase that Team Denmark commits to make immediately after the conclusion of the relevant sub-contract is further defined in the tender list. In addition to the one-time purchase, Team Denmark has no obligation to purchase any of sub-contract A, sub-contract B, or sub-contract C. The expected purchasing needs over the next four years are included in the tender list for use in the evaluation. This expected purchasing need is merely indicative and based on Team Denmark's estimate of the expected purchases and is therefore not binding on Team Denmark. This means that the supplier(s) awarded sub-contract A and/or sub-contract B or sub-contract C cannot make any claims against Team Denmark if Team Denmark's purchasing needs turn out to be less than indicated in the tender list. Similarly, the supplier on each sub-contract must be able to deliver larger quantities than indicated by the estimated purchase, as there is a provision in all three sub-contracts that Team Denmark is entitled to increase the frame of the sub-contracts by 50% up to six months before the end of the sub-contracts' purchasing period. The division into three sub-contracts is justified in that the market for cardio equipment (sub-contract A), training machines (sub-contract B), and bars and free weights (sub-contract C) to a large extent consists of different and, to some extent, specialized suppliers, which is why a division gives more companies, including smaller and more specialized suppliers, the opportunity to submit tenders on the sub-contract(s) that match their business area. The division thus supports competition for the individual sub-contract and increases the likelihood that Team Denmark will receive competitive tenders on all three product categories. Tenderers can submit tenders on all sub-contracts. A tenderer can be awarded sub-contract A and sub-contract B, but cannot simultaneously be awarded sub-contract C. The tenderer who is awarded sub-contract C can therefore only be awarded this sub-contract. This means that a tenderer whose tender is awarded sub-contract C cannot be awarded sub-contract A and/or sub-contract B. If a tenderer is awarded sub-contract A, the tenderer can also be awarded sub-contract B. Similarly, a tenderer can be awarded sub-contract B if the tenderer is awarded sub-contract A. The sub-contracts are expected to enter into force upon contract signature and will then run for 48 months. The requirements for the training equipment covered by sub-contract A, sub-contract B, and sub-contract C, respectively, are further described in the specification of requirements, which is attached as part of the tender material. Tenderers must provide a number of product samples for Team Denmark. The product samples that tenderers must provide for Team Denmark are marked in green in the tender list, which is part of the overall tender material. The tender is conducted electronically using the tender portal www.udbuddet.dk. Tenderers must therefore register as a license holder with www.udbuddet.dk. Registration can be done without cost. Questions regarding www.udbuddet.dk should be directed directly to www.udbuddet.dk via the support function, which can be accessed via telephone +45 7022 7007. No remuneration is paid for the tenderers' participation in the tender process. If there is any reference to standards anywhere in the specification of requirements or other tender material, any such reference shall be understood as a reference to the mentioned standard or equivalent. If a tenderer does not meet the mentioned standard but an equivalent, the tenderer must document in the tender that the offered solution on the relevant parameters is equivalent. In the event that tenderers express a wish for it, the contracting entity will gladly hold an information meeting prior to the tender deadline. Tenderers are therefore invited to indicate their wish for this on the tender portal.
