The nanoindentation system shall support the investigation of ion radiation induced damage and other degradation in metals, ceramics, claddings, protective coatings and thin films. The system shall enable high resolution nanoindentation using both quasi static and dynamic measurement techniques, in-situ scanning probe microscopy, and high-speed mechanical property mapping (i.e., mechanical microscopy), thereby allowing precise probing of damage gradients and other microstructural features.
See the official notice for the place of performance.
Tenderers must prove that they have the legal capacity to perform the contract and the regulatory capacity to pursue the professional activity necessary to carry out the work subject to this call for tenders.
Tenderers must comply with the following selection criteria in order to prove that they have the necessary economic and financial capacity to perform the contract.
The tenderer must prove experience in the field of supplying and maintaining nano-indenter for dynamic nanoscale testing including continuous stiffness measurements, in-situ scanning probe microscopy, and high-speed mechanical microscopy.
Involved entities (see Section 2.4) and all subcontractors, including those which do not need to be identified in the tender (see Section 2.4.2), must not be subject to professional conflicting interests which may negatively affect the contract performance. Where the contracting authority has established such conflicting interests, it may conclude that the tenderer or an involved entity does not possess the required professional capacity to perform the contract to an appropriate quality standard.
