Framework agreements on purchases of microscopes

Aarhus University

The Contracting Authority held an EU-tender process in early 2010 with the intention of consolidating all purchases of advanced instruments and equipment solutions in a number of framework agreements. The framework agreements concluded on the basis of that tender lay down the overall conditions for the specific contracts subsequently entered into on the basis of the framework agreements. Additional conditions may be laid down in connection with conducting mini-invitations to tender as described in the Specifications.
The Contracting Authority has however been forced to terminate lot 5 of that agreement due to insufficient competition and mini-tenders resulting in outrageous prices.
The Contracting Authority therefore now retenders these framework agreements.
The now terminated lot 5 of the previous tender process has been split into two lots under this tender procedure:
1) advanced microscopes and accessories for research purposes,
2) simple microscopes for teaching purposes.
Reference is made to Appendix 2 available at the website of the Contracting Authority for a detailed description and exemplification of the contents of the lots.
The number of framework agreements to be made in respect of each lot will depend on the tenders received. Thus, the Contracting Authority will award a number of lots which will ensure the Contracting Authority's reliability of supply. The number of framework agreements will not necessarily be identical for both lots. Provided that a sufficient number of conforming tenders are received, at least three framework agreements for each lot will be concluded. In no event will more than ten framework agreements be concluded for each lot.
The tenders will be evaluated separately for each lot in accordance with the criteria listed in the Specifications to Tenderers.
It is noted that the Tenderers are only entitled to take orders and deliver products under lot(s) for which the Tenderer has been awarded a framework agreement.
