Coach transportation service

The purpose of this tender is to establish framework agreement concerning commercial transportation service in relation to coach transportation — primarily in Denmark. The service is a supplement to The Danish Defence's own capabilities.

DALO is in charge of entering a framework agreement that meets the Danish Defence’s demand for domestic and international transportation of personnel by coach. The transportation entails soldiers with and without equipment (including weapons and ammunition), office staff, bands with musical instruments and VIP transport.

The framework agreement tendered is non‐exclusive, as DALO has its own coaches.

As well as the option of booking coaches via a current framework agreement covering military exercises. Accordingly, if transportation of passengers is needed in connection with a specific military exercise, the current framework agreement or DALO’s own coaches will be used.

The framework agreement encompassed by this tender is thus a supplement to DALO`s own capacity. The routes may be of short or long distances throughout Denmark as well as international voyages. Some bookings will encompass return trips and others will be single trips. Sometimes there may be need for coaches to remain on site but normally DALO expects the supplier to perform tasks for other entities in the interim.

Every year DALO has events which require coaches with service to and from an event as well as shuttle coaches in a given area.

JMTO (Joint Movement and Transportation Organization) is responsible for all coordination, ordering and billing of personnel transport by coaches.

The framework agreement includes an option for DALO to extend the framework.

The Agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all divisions of the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all divisions of the Danish Defence subject to the command of the Chief of Defence is entitled to use the Agreement. For further information see the "additional information" document available at the URL address in section I.3).
