5.1.10 Award criteria

Criterion :
Type : Quality
Name : Quality
Description : The critical specifications include: To ensure best possible counting statistics and speed of time-critical measurements, we require high intensity X-Ray radiation, e.g. from rotating anode or other source type surpassing the intensity of conventional X-Ray tubes. The possibility to change between different wavelengths. The instrument must be delivered with both Cu and Ag Kα sources, and the addition of more sources in the future must be possible. Changing wavelengths must be possible by a trained user, if not automated. Removable Kα1 monochromator for Cu radiation, and the possibility to add monochromators for other wavelengths in the future. Mirrors for divergent radiation (Bragg-Brentano), convergent radiation (Debye-Scherer), and parallel beam. Automated incidence slits to control beam foot print on the sample and divergence angle. Line focused incoming beam with the possibility to select several lengths up to 15 mm. Sample holders and environments for measurement of powders in reflection geometry (Bragg- Brentano), transmission through rotating capillaries (Debye-Scherer), and stage for mapping the surface of samples (in-plane movement and rotation around surface normal). Use of custom sample environments must be possible. Removable Soller slits to reduce peak broadening. State-of-the-art detector with high energy resolution and high surface area, to maximize the utilization of diffracted radiation. The energy resolution must be sufficient to suppress the effect of fluorescent radiation from Fe and Co when using Cu radiation without the use of filters or attenuation of diffracted radiation. The detector must have counting efficiency of 99% for Cu radiation and 20% for Ag radiation, or better. The software must allow automated sample alignment, automated data collection including surface mapping, perform search-match for collected data using common commercial structural databases.

Review organisation : Klagenævnet for udbud -
Information about review deadlines : Following the notification, a standstill period of 10 calendar days will be held in accordance to paragraph 3 of Act No. 593 of 2 June 2016 on the Danish Act on the Complaints Board for public Procurement. This implies that the Contracting Authority cannot sign the Contract with the winning Tenderer before the standstill period has expired. In case of complaints about tenders or decisions, e.g. award of contracts covered by Section II or III in the Danish Public Procurement Act must be submitted to the Complaints Board for Public Procurement (Klagenævnet for udbud) within 45 calendar days from the day after the contractor published a notice in the Official Journal on the conclusion of a contract. At the latest concurrently with submission of an appeal to the Complaints Board for Public Procurement, the complainant must inform the Contracting Authority of the alleged infringement, and whether the appeal is to be referred to the board.
