About the bid

Assignment description

This tender is adopted with Innovation Partnership Procedure which is a specific procurement method established under EU public procurement law (Directive 2014/24/EU), allowing public contracting authorities/companies to procure R&D services and the subsequent purchase of resulting innovative products, services or works in one integrated process. It is particularly useful when products or solutions do not exist on the market. The high-quality HPHT diamonds themselves are not inherently innovative. However, due to the current political situation, there is a lack of an established supply chain within Europe. The innovation in this case lies not in the material, but in its use: EuXFEL is pursuing the development of a prototype Diamond Double-Crystal Monochromator (Diamond DCM) using HPHT diamond, which provides significantly better thermal conductivity and quality than available CVD diamonds. Although silicon-based DCMs are already commercially available, diamond-based equivalents have not yet reached the market. Single Procedure: Combines R&D and subsequent commercial procurement, avoiding the need for a separate tender once the innovation is developed.

  Description

  Selection criteria for Phase 0: Phase 0 - Selection suitability criteria for invitation for next Phase (Phase 1): A total of 100 points can be achieved when evaluating references. References (3 References – experience as a company in projects of similar characteristics within the last ten years stated on the Tender Forms) are evaluated by comparing applicants with each other based on the following scale/grading system. The maximum number of points is multiplied by the respective weighting factor (percentage)– multiplied by the respective weighting factor (percentage). - 100% = very good: The applicant meets the requirements for the suitability criterion to the highest degree, - 80% = good: Applicant meets the requirements for the suitability criterion to the highest degree, - 60% = fully satisfactory: The applicant meets the suitability criteria to a high degree to a high degree, - 40% = satisfactory: Applicant meets the requirements for the suitability criterion to a sufficient degree, - 20% = adequate: Applicant meets the requirements for the eligibility criterion to a barely sufficient degree. In the range between 0% and 100%, intermediate values can be formed to take into account a tendency toward the higher grade level (10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 90%), which be assigned to the respective grade level with the straight percentage below it. An assessment of an aptitude criterion (performance or expertise) with 10% would correspond to a complete failure to meet the respective suitability criterion, which would result in the exclusion of the application for participation (knockout criterion). The above criteria are suitability criteria, not award criteria. EuXFEL aims to select maximum 5 bidders/applicants in Phase 1. If no 3 bidders/applicants are similarly qualified in terms of meeting the minimum requirements or total points, only those applicants who are sufficiently suitable will be included. If several applicants/bidders achieve the same total score and the number of applicants/bidders exceeds the planned number to be invited to the next phase, EuXFEL reserves the right to select among the remaining applicants with the same score by drawing lots. These criteria will be used to determine which applicants will be invited to the next phase of the process.
