Brief
Åbo Akademi needs a nanoindentation system for research laboratory activities in materials science, with a maximum total value of 250,000 EUR. The system will be used for high-precision mechanical characterization of hard materials and coatings, including advanced micrometer-scale nanoindentation, hardness/modulus mapping, creep testing, and related studies. The objective is to acquire a robust and high-performance system combining exceptional sensitivity and resolution with operational simplicity, intuitive software, and streamlined workflow. The system should be delivered, installed, commissioned, validated, and include initial technical support in Varsinais-Suomi, Finland. Tenders will be evaluated based on price (30%), technical specificities (55%), warranty, training and technical support (10%), and delivery time (5%). Suppliers must be registered in a register equivalent to the Finnish Trade Register in their country of establishment.

From the notice
The Contracting Authority invites tenders for the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, validation, and initial technical support of one nanoindentation system used for research laboratory activities in materials science. The proposed system will be used for high-precision mechanical characterization of hard materials such as alumina Al2O3, silicon carbide SiC, different types of minerals and composites, etc. as well as hard coatings. Experiments and services planned for the instrument include, but not limited in, advanced micrometer-scale nanoindentation, hardness/modulus mapping, creep testing, and related studies on ceramics and hard coating. The objective is to acquire robust and high-performance nanoindentation system that combines exceptional sensitivity and resolution with operational simplicity, intuitive software, and streamlined workflow.Main features of the procedureProcurement Procedure – Open Procedure This procurement is conducted using the open procedure in accordance with Section 32 of the Finnish Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts (1397/2016).
