Award criteria: cost, quality

Technical requirements: VITO is seeking to acquire a high-performance X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) system to enable non-destructive internal imaging across research& development activities on battery diagnostic, and quality control applications. The system must provide micro-level spatial resolution, flexible scanning geometries, and support for a wide range of sample sizes and material densities. To ensure versatility across different imaging scenarios, configurations with multiple X-ray sources (e.g. combining high-resolution and higher-power imaging capabilities) are preferred. The solution must include reconstruction software, calibration tools, installation, and training.
To demonstrate the financial and economic stability of the tenderer, VITO will request Dun & Bradstreet for a financial assessment. 
This is based on financial statements or extracts, if the legislation of the country where the tenderer is established requires the publication of financial statements.
If the tenderer has been active for less than 3 years, the assessment will be made based on the available data or financial capacity may be considered. Minimumeisen: The following risk ratings are deemed appropriate: low, moderately low or moderate.
If no D&B report is available or the assessment is deemed moderately high or high risk, the tenderer will be asked to prove its economic strength. Preferably with financial statements or extracts. Otherwise certified numbers, reports, attests,… (no need to upload yet, VITO will request if necessary).
The submission of at least three references concerning comparable assignments realised during the last 3 years. 
The tenderer should submit an information sheet for these 3 comparable references, indicating: client and contact person address details, place of execution, turnover on an annual basis, description why this reference is relevant for this contract. Max. 1 page per reference  Minimumeisen: Comparable is considederd for projects concering public authoroties with research aim and more specifically battery research.
Will not be selected, the candidate whose references, after checking, show that: 
- the candidate did not submit sufficiently relevant or a sufficient number of references; 
- one or more references were not properly performed;
Technical requirements, especially Imaging Resolution and scan speed
