      Aankoop van Instrumentatie en uitrusting oceanografische moorings

      Het Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee wil oceanografische instrumentatie en uitrusting aanschaffen voor moorings die langdurig en continu oceaangegevens verzamelen vanaf vaste locaties, onafhankelijk van onderzoeksschepen en aanvullend op robots. Het systeem wordt ingezet in onderzoeksprojecten in de Noordzee, de Atlantische Oceaan en de Arctische Oceaan; de levering is gekoppeld aan Oostende. De beoordeling weegt prijs en kwaliteit elk voor 50 punten. Bij kwaliteit tellen onder meer de hardware, diepteclassificatie, gebruiksgemak en datakwaliteit mee; aangeboden systemen moeten nieuw zijn en voldoen aan de minimumspecificaties, waarbij betere prestaties hoger worden gewaardeerd.

      Purchase, delivery, installation and commissioning of a multi-wavelength orthogonal tomographic volumetric 3D printing system

      Universiteit Gent needs the purchase, delivery, installation and commissioning of a complete multi-wavelength orthogonal tomographic volumetric 3D-printing system for scientific research, installed at its site in the Ghent district. The integrated system must include the optical, mechanical and electronic components, light sources, control hardware and software, safety equipment and accessories needed for operation, and support research into multi-wavelength and multi-material printing through independently controlled optical wavelengths. The supply also includes configuration, calibration, functional verification, user training, documentation, technical support, warranty and maintenance. Suppliers must provide at least one relevant reference from the past three years demonstrating experience with comparable advanced light-based research equipment, including independently software-controlled multiple wavelengths and automated, synchronised control of optical hardware and projection processes. Offers are evaluated on technical value (70%), price (20%) and service, support and maintenance (10%).
