This document concerns the award of a contract for the supply and installation of pipework for Points 1 and 5 of the LHC. Following a market survey (MS-2567/ST/LHC) carried out among 90 firms in nineteen Member States, a call for tenders (IT-2780/ST) was sent on 7 October 1999 to 13 firms and three consortia, each consisting of two firms, in nine Member States.
