### Procedure Types

- open

### Award Criterion Names

- Lowest price

### Award Criterion Descriptions

- The most economically advantageous tender will be chosen amongst the acceptable tenders received. The most economically advantageous tender will be found by assessing the tender against Price. The price to be assessed is the “Total contract value” specified in section 2.1 in Appendix 2 and the “Options” specified in section 2.2 in Appendix 2. The price for the option regarding the extension modules (no. 4-2) will be multiplied by 3, because DTU can buy up to 3 extensions. The price for the option regarding extended Warranty (no. 5-6) will be multiplied by 3, because DTU can buy up to 3 years. The “Total contract value” and the options will have the following weight: - Total Contract value - 32,8 % - Option regarding “SAM” - 32,8 % - Option regarding “LTS Extension Modules” - 32,8 % - Option regarding “Service plan” - 1,6 %. The tender with the lowest price will be awarded the contract.

### Options

- The tendered agreement has the following options: - SAM - Option for scanning Auger microscopy with 100 µm spatial resolution, see requirement 3-9 in Appendix 1. - LTS Extension Modules - Optional 3m long extension modules for extending the LTS base module with up to three more sections, see requirement 4-2 in Appendix 1. - Extended warranty for up to 3 years, see requirement 5-6 in Appendix 1.

## Description

DTU will like to purchase an X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) setup and an Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) Linear Transfer System (LTS) that connects the XPS system with other planned setups (5 in total including the XPS system in this tender). The setup will be used by academic researchers investigating catalysts. The XPS system must be able to perform: • High-resolution XPS using monochromized Al K-alpha photons. • Angle resolved XPS for non-destructive depth profiling. • Low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS) using helium ions and heavier ions such as neon, argon or xenon. • Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy using a helium UV source. • Sputter cleaning of substrates and destructive depth profiling using an Argon ion gun. • Measurements on samples transferred on SHOM flag style sampleholders and on larger samples up to 2.5 cm. The LTS will facilitate transfer of samples mounted on SHOM flag style sampleholders under UHV conditions to prevent air exposure when samples are being transferred between different setups. Through the combined purchase of the XPS and LTS system, we are looking for a solution that will enable a robust transfer of samples under UHV conditions and further establish a working solution for connecting future setups to the LTS. Please see more about the purchase in Appendix 1 – Requirement specification.
