Czechia – Freight insurance and Insurance services relating to transport – Insurance of military equipment transport

Opportunity description

The objective of this procurement procedure is to conclude an insurance contract (hereinafter referred to as the “contract”) with one participant for the purpose of securing cargo insurance for the transport of military equipment under the CV90 project, carried out between the contracting authority and external suppliers (in particular Excalibur Army and BAE Systems). The subject matter of the public contract is insurance relating in particular to the transport of: – separate turrets, – complete military vehicles, – possibly other related military equipment components. Transport will be carried out either by the contracting authority itself or through contracted carriers. The insurance must apply to transport generally carried out under FCA terms, with insurance commencing at the moment the consignment is accepted for transport. Repeated transport operations are expected to be carried out under various logistics scenarios, in particular: – transport between suppliers and the contracting authority, – transport for testing (e.g. Bzenec), – transport for handover to the ACR. The number of transport operations, their exact dates and routes may change during performance depending on the development of the project and coordination between the contracting authority and its contractual partners. The contracting authority reserves the right to arrange insurance for individual transport operations according to current needs and is not obliged to use the anticipated scope of performance. Given the nature of the project and ongoing negotiations between the contracting authority and its partners, it is not possible at the time of awarding the public contract to establish an exact transport schedule or its final scope. The insurance must be arranged so as to cover the variability of transport in terms of timing, scope of performance and type of equipment transported. The contracting authority requires a maximum limit of CZK 200,000,000 per transport operation. The required scope of insurance, i.e. places of insurance, scope and subject matter of insurance, sums insured, deductibles and other insurance requirements, is discussed in greater detail in the Technical Part of the procurement documentation and its annexes. The contracting authority is restricting publication of part of the procurement documentation in order to protect sensitive information relating to the transport of military equipment. The annexes to the Technical Part of the procurement documentation are not freely available on the contracting authority’s E-ZAK profile. A participant, or an interested party wishing to participate, may request that the contracting authority send them via E-ZAK. In accordance with Section 36(8) and Section 96(2) of the Act, the contracting authority reserves the right to provide them only on condition that the contracting authority sends an electronically signed non-disclosure agreement – NDA (Annex No. 7 to the procurement documentation). The contracting authority will provide these annexes no later than 3 working days after receipt of a duly submitted request. For the avoidance of doubt, the contracting authority states that the public contract in question is not a contract for insurance brokerage services. Given the subject matter of the public contract, the contracting authority does not permit variant tenders pursuant to Section 102(1) of the Act. A participant who submits a tender containing performance beyond that required in the procurement documentation will be excluded from further participation in the procurement procedure. The participant is obliged to prepare the request to participate / tender in accordance with the procurement documentation, in particular the Technical Part of the procurement documentation. To ensure the comparability of tenders, the contracting authority requires participants, when preparing their tenders, to use the terminology and structure specified in the procurement documentation (particularly in relation to the definition of insured risks, the extent of insurance coverage and other insurance conditions). The insurance coverage offered must correspond to the required scope established by the contracting authority. If a tender does not comply with the procurement conditions, particularly if it contains only partial or otherwise non-compliant performance, the participant may be excluded from the procurement procedure. For participants’ guidance, the contracting authority specifies the anticipated scope of performance in the Technical Part of the procurement documentation (in particular the numbers of transport operations and indicative values of the property transported). These data are for information purposes only and do not represent a commitment by the contracting authority to use them in full.
