2.1.
Procedure
Title: All-metal Gate Valves DN350CF
Description: In the injection and extraction sections of the SIS100, beam dynamics requirements necessitate vacuum chamber and component apertures of up to approximately 320 mm to contain both the orbit beam and the injected or extracted ion beams. To isolate vacuum sections from one another during maintenance work, all-metal slide valves with a DN160 aperture are used throughout the SIS100; in the injection and extraction areas, all-metal slide valves with a DN350 aperture are required. A total of three of these valves are to be procured-one each for the injection and extraction areas-and one valve is to be procured as a spare part, since otherwise the replacement or maintenance of such a valve could lead to disproportionately long delays. 3 Pieces of all-metal gate valves are requested in this tender.

Review organisation: Vergabekammer des Bundes
Information about review deadlines: The competent reviewing authority is Vergabekammer des Bundes [transl.: Federal Public Procurement Tribunal] Villemombler Straße 76 53123 Bonn Tel.: 0228 9499-0 Fax: 0228 9499-163 Email: vk@bundeskartellamt.bund.de Website: http://www.bundeskartellamt.de/SharedDocs/Kontaktdaten/DE/Vergabekammern.html Candidate/ Bidder is requested to clearly identify those sections of the tender that contain a trade or business secret. If Bidder fails to do so, the Public Procurement Tribunal may, in the case of a review procedure, assume that Bidder has agreed to have these documents inspected (§165 para. 3 GWB). As Awarding Authority, FAIR is obliged to make the tender file available to the Public Procurement Tribunal immedi-ately when initiating a review procedure (§ 163 para. 2 cl. 3 GWB). Candidates/ Bidders have a right to expect the contracting authority's compliance with the Bidder-protecting provisions re: the tender procedure (§ 97 para. 6 GWB). If Candidate/ Bidder interested in the contract considers that Bidder's rights have been infringed through failure to comply with award regulations, the infringement must be reported to FAIR within ten calendar days (§ 160 para. 3 cl. 1 no. 1 GWB). Infringements identifiable on the basis of the announcement or the award docu-ments must be asserted against FAIR within the deadline for submission of tenders specified in the announcement (§ 160 para. 3 cl. 1 nr. 2 - 3 GWB). If FAIR informs Candidate/ Bidder that FAIR is unwilling to redress its complaint, it is possible to file an appeal for review with the aforementioned Public Procurement Tribunal within 15 days of receipt of the notification (§ 160 para. 3 cl. 1 no. 4 GWB). Bidders whose tenders are not to be considered for the award will be informed prior to the award according to § 134 GWB. A contract may only be concluded 15 calen-dar days after this information has been sent by FAIR. In the case of transmission by fax or electronic means, this period shall be ten calendar days. It commences on the day after dispatch of the information by FAIR. After this period has expired, a sur-charge is possible, even if the deadline is not passed according to § 160 para. 3 GWB. An application for review would therefore have to be delivered to FAIR by the Public Procurement Tribunal before the expiry of the deadline according to § 134 GWB in order to prevent a surcharge. According to § 135 para. 1 and 2 GWB, the ineffectiveness of a commission can only be established if it has been asserted in the review procedure within 30 calendar days of the conclusion of the contract but not later than six months after the conclusion of the contract. If the contracting entity has published the award in Amtsblatt der Europäischen Union [transl.: Official Journal of the European Union], the period un-enforceability shall end 30 calendar days after announcement of the publication of the award in the Amtsblatt der Europäischen Union.
