Kort beskrivelse:

GEUS wishes to purchase a Field Emission Gun SEM instrument, which must be equipped with 2 energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) detectors, an electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) detector, a cathodoluminescense (CL) detector suitable for imaging, at least one backscattered electron (BSE) detector, at least one secondary electron (SE) detector. The instrument must be able to work under high- and low vacuum conditions. The instrument must have a camera to look inside the sample chamber. The detectors must fit simultaneously in the chamber without shadowing for each other. SE, BSE and EDS detectors need to function at the same working distance.

The instrument must be able to automatically correct for drifting of the area of interest during imaging and analyses. The instrument must have an acceleration voltage range of at least 2-25 kV and a probe current that can reach intensities of 100nA or more.

The instrument must give the possibility to view entire samples or load referenced images of those samples, and to navigate precisely (within 0.1 mm) to locations in the sample. The resolution of the images must be such that rocks can be imaged with an SE and BSE detector at 15 000 times magnification (polaroid scale) or higher on coated rock samples; and at 3 000 times magnification or higher for uncoated rock samples.

The instrument must be able to contain a sample holder with at least 7 polished thin sections of c.48mm x 27mm in size or 15 polished blocks with a diameter of 25 mm. The sample stage must have full movement in X, Y, Z (> 130 mm viewing range). The samples must be able to be viewed in a complete 360 degree rotational view and the stage must allow for a tilting of at least 70 degrees towards the EBSD detector. The instrument must be offered with sound-insolation for the noise of the pump or pumps and have a form of stabilisation against vibrations.

The instrument must be provided with a CL detector without an external mirror. A preview of the CL image must be visible at scanning speed (less than 2 s/frame). The minimum range of detectable wavelengths for the CL images must exceed 400-800 nm.

The instrument must contain EDS detectors, with a Mn-peak width of 129eV full width at half maximum or narrower, a 30 mm

The tenderer offers software that is able to analyse the major and minor element composition of at least 1 200 representative grains in a polished section, with results for all elements in wt% or atom% in 2 decimals for at least 30 elements. The grains to be analysed are embedded in a matrix (epoxy), where all grains do not touch their neighbours.

The SEM instrument must be offered with automated mineralogy analysis software that can be used for mineral mapping on solid rock samples. Ideally this software is able to measure the major and minor element composition of at least 1 200 representative grains that are part of a rock in which the individual grains touch their neighbours.

The tenderer offers at least 7 days of teaching of the different SEM techniques: general use and maintenance of the instrument and the usages of the detectors on both a basic and advanced level.

The tenderer offers a service contract for the duration of the contract that might be extendable after the end of the contract period.

The tenderer must submit the European Single Procurement Document (‘ESPD’) with the following information:

— The tenderer's equity in the last financial year available.

The operator's balance sheet or extracts thereof in the last financial year available if publication of the balance sheet is required under law in the country in which the operator is established, or other documentation of the size of the equity. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, sister company or a sub-contractor), the information must be submitted for these entities also.

— The tenderer's equity ratio in the last financial year available.

A statement regarding the operator's equity and assets in the last financial year available, depending on the date on which the operator was established, as far as the figures for equity and assets are available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. If the operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, sister company or a sub-contractor), the information must be submitted for these entities also.

— The tenderer's total annual turnover in the last 3 financial years available.

A statement regarding the operator's overall turnover in the last 3 financial years available, depending on the date when the operator was set up or started trading, as far as the information on these turnovers is available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, sister company or a sub-contractor), the information must be submitted for these entities also.

No more than 10 references may be stated irrespective of whether the tenderer is a single operator, whether the tenderer relies on the technical capacity of other entities, or whether the tenderer is a group of operators (e.g. a consortium).

If more than 10 references are stated, only the first 10 references will be taken into account. Any additional references will be disregarded.

The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the tenderer fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of technical and professional capacity, see section III.1.3).

Before the decision to award the contract is made, the tenderer to whom the contracting authority intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate.
