About the bid

South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk) is purchasing a Single Burning Item (SBI) testing test system and a Small Flame Tester according to this tender documentation. The equipment will be located at the Mikpolis RDI-unit in Mikkeli. Pricing must include shipping costs to Mikkeli, Finland (Patteristonkatu 3, 50100 Mikkeli, Finland). Installation and user training must be included. The primary use of the equipment is to conduct standardized fire testing of construction products in accordance with European fire testing standards. The SBI test system must enable testing according to EN 13823 to assess the reaction-to-fire performance of building materials, while the Small Flame Tester equipment must comply with EN ISO 11925-2, allowing for evaluation of ignitability under direct flame exposure. Both systems must provide reliable, reproducible test conditions and be suitable for use in accredited laboratory environments. As the equipment will serve a multi-user setting including students and researchers, ease of use, automated controls, and low maintenance requirements are essential. Key features of the SBI system must include automated test sequences, precision gas flow control, accurate ignition systems, and integrated data acquisition for key performance indicators such as heat release, smoke production, and flame spread. The Small Flame Tester must enable adjustable flame parameters, stable burner operation, and clear sample mounting in compliance with the standard. Software for both systems must be based on Microsoft Windows 10 (or newer), supporting full test execution, real-time monitoring, data storage, and result analysis in line with the relevant standards. The supplier must offer calibration capability and performance verification procedures for both devices. Optional accessories such as enhanced sensor sets, video monitoring, or sample holders are considered valuable. Factory-trained personnel must be available for technical support, maintenance, and after-sales service. This procurement combines the SBI and Small Flame Tester into a single acquisition to maximize compatibility, streamline integration and ensure consistent operation across both systems. A joint procurement reduces total acquisition and training costs, simplifies supplier communication, and supports unified data handling workflows. At a later stage, the benefits of joint procurement include the synchronization of maintenance and calibration activities. The procurement has been budgeted at 310 000 euros, including 25,5% VAT. Xamk will not accept offers exceeding this amount.

Oxygen transmission rate (OTR) analyzer
Kaakkois-Suomen Ammattikorkeakoulu Oy needs an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) analyzer for their FiberLaboratory in Savonlinna, Finland, with a maximum total value of 80,000 EUR. The analyzer should be suitable for testing OTR performance of diverse films and sheets, primarily bio- and fiber-based multilayer and coated structures, and must effectively eliminate edge diffusion. Key technical requirements include a coulometric sensor type, compliance with ASTM D3985, an OTR testing range of minimum 0.05–200 cm³·m-²·24h-¹ (unmasked) with a resolution of minimum 0.0001 cm³·m-²·24h-¹, and an integrated sealing mechanism to prevent edge diffusion. The procurement also includes installation, commissioning, and training, with options for masks/masking tools and a service agreement. The instrument must support future upgrades for OTR testing of finished packages. The award criterion is price.
