06Frequently asked questions

Why was a direct award chosen?
The contract can be awarded directly to AMETEK Germany GmbH due to the absence of competition for technical reasons within the meaning of Article 2.32 paragraph 1 sub b bullet 2 Aw 2012.
Why is there no reasonable alternative or substitute?
There is no reasonable alternative within the meaning of Article 2.32 paragraph 3 Aw 2012 because the upgrade of the existing Zygo White Light Interferometer can only be performed by the current supplier without the purchase of a completely new device.
Which technical specifications are required for the upgrade?
The Zygo WLI must be supplied with a 1x zoom interferometric objective. This provides a larger field of view than comparable devices from other suppliers, which is necessary for measuring the stress and bending of substrates.
