06Frequently asked questions

Why is this contract not open to competition?
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. There is no other organization that can provide an upgrade that is compatible with the existing Zygo White Light Interferometer.
What are the technical reasons for the choice of a specific supplier?
The Zygo WLI can be supplied with a 1x zoom interferometric objective, which offers a larger field of view than comparable devices from other suppliers. This is necessary for the application of measuring stress and deflection of substrates. An upgrade of the existing device cannot be performed by another supplier without purchasing a completely new device.
Is there a reasonable alternative for the requested upgrade?
According to Universiteit Twente, there is no reasonable alternative or substitute within the meaning of article 2.32 paragraph 3 Aw 2012 that can meet the stated requirements for the upgrade of the existing Zygo White Light Interferometer.
