Self-declaration of entry in a professional or commercial register in accordance with the legal provisions of the state in which the bidder is established.
Self-declaration on the grounds for exclusion specified in Sections 123, 124 GWB Self-declaration on RUS sanctions
Legal remedies pursuant to Section 160 GWB: 1) The public procurement chamber shall only initiate a review procedure upon application; 2) Any company that has an interest in the public contract or concession is authorised to apply.

It must be shown that the company has suffered or is at risk of suffering damage as a result of the alleged breach of the procurement regulations; 3) The application is inadmissible if: (1) The applicant has recognised the alleged breach of procurement regulations before submitting the application for review and has not notified the contracting authority of this within a period of 10 calendar days; the expiry of the deadline pursuant to Section 134 (2) GWB remains unaffected, (2) violations of procurement regulations that are recognisable on the basis of the contract notice are not notified to the contracting authority by the expiry of the deadline for application or submission of tenders specified in the contract notice at the latest, (3) violations of procurement regulations that are only recognisable in the procurement documents are not notified to the contracting authority by the expiry of the deadline for application or submission of tenders at the latest, (4) more than 15 calendar days have passed since receipt of the notification from the contracting authority that it does not intend to remedy a complaint. Sentence 1 shall not apply to an application for a declaration of invalidity of the contract pursuant to Section 135 (1) No. 2.
The Institute of Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) is developing radiotracers as radioactive drugs for clinical application. For in-depth characterization of the molecular properties of brain tumours and their microenvironment, non-invasive imaging modalities are crucial. The Free State of Saxony is now supporting the purchase of a simultaneous PET/MRI scanner suitable for small animal studies with funding from the European Regional Development Fund and tax revenue from the state of Saxony within the project GliaRPET. 

Therefore, the subject of the order comprises a preclinical SPECT-PET/MR system (minimum 7 Tesla field strength) must be capable of SPECT/MR imaging and simultaneous PET/MR imaging of the brain and whole body of rodents. It is essential that the system supports dynamic whole body rat (600g) studies with simultaneous PET/MR imaging. In addition, the ability to decouple the SPECT or PET from the 7T MR and use them as stand-alone units or in combination with a CT on a bench would be a valuable feature. The laboratory expects high throughput imaging, so the ability to scan at least 4 mice or 2 rats simultaneously with PET/MR imaging is essential. The system should support imaging of larger animals such as rabbits or guinea pigs.

The following services are included in the offer (i.e. included in the offer price): 
• Delivery to the place of performance DE-04318 Leipzig
• Installation on site and operational set-up
• Instruction and site acceptance tests (SAT)
• 36-month warranty and service packages of additional 3 years minimum
• Free software updates within the warranty period
• Analytical software for all imaging modalities of the system

The scope of services also includes:
• CE marking
• Operating instructions (English and/or German)

The offer must also includes product data sheets for the products offered and a corresponding detailed offer for the separate items.

Eligibility requirements: Self-declaration of entry in a professional or commercial register in accordance with the legal provisions of the state in which the bidder is established.
