6. Results

Maximum value of the framework agreements in this notice : 1 200 000 Euro
Direct award :
Justification for direct award : The contract can be provided only by a particular economic operator because of an absence of competition for technical reasons
Other justification : For Services to be provided for the Maintenance and Optimization of the Radio Frequency Power System modules SSPA, one company (BTESA) retains the unique background knowledge to execute successfully and in time the maintenance and upgrades tasks: • BTESA has been the original designer of the system and provided support for many years to F4E in the maintenance, debugging and upgrades (under OFC-1298, OPE-0984 and OFC-0935). • BTESA is the designer and supplier of the new SSPA for the LIPAc RFQ currently under prototyping in Europe (under OPE-1051) and intended to be used as RF test stand for couplers conditioning. • It is important to note that LIPAC will enter in an intense phase of operation aiming at Continuous Wave (CW) operation, thus support service with fast reaction time and fast implementation can be obtained only if the company owning all the background knowledge is awarded. • It is important to note that LIPAc will need conditioned RF couplers for the RFQ and the SSPA prototype built by BTESA provides unique RF conditioning capabilities.
