Details
This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is established by DALO and the National Danish Police for the acquisition of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). DALO and the National Danish Police have determined that a DPS can be established under the scope of directive 2009/81/EC (hereafter the Defence and Security Directive), as the establishment of the DPS is carried out as a restricted procedure according to the rules of Defence and Security Directive. Due to platform-technical limitations, this contract notice incorrectly states that the legal basis for this DPS is Directive 2014/24/EU.
As the legal basis is deemed to be the Defence and Security Directive, DALO and the Danish National Police seek to purchase unmanned aerial systems which fall under the scope of said directive. Thus, the object of the DPS is military UAS. A UAS is a system that includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a control station, datalinks, payload, and accessories.
The DPS is divided into two categories: UAS contracts approximately over 410 thousand EUR, and UAS contracts approximately under 410 thousand EUR. The categories are based on the value of the contracts.
While The DPS categories are fixed during the duration of the DPS, divergence can occur in terms of the actual value of the contracts under the categories. DALO and the Danish National Police will approximate the value of the contracts and choose what category the tender shall be placed under based on the approximation.
The request for participation shall state which categories the applicant wishes to apply for. Applicants can choose to apply for both categories.
UAS contracts under both categories can contain requirements for different types of unmanned aerial vehicles such as e.g. fixed-wing, multi-copter or hybrids. UAS contracts within both categories can feature a service agreement and accessories, which could be e.g.:
- sensors
- computer equipment
- software
- antenna
- ground control stations
- wires and cables
- batteries
- chargers
- tether-solutions
- storage equipment
The UAS contracts can also feature options for additional deliveries.
In compliance with recital 18 of the Defence and Security Directive, DALO and the Danish National Police reserve the right to deny applicants that are third-country economic operators admission to the DPS.

- Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
- Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
