Proposal for the award of a blanket contract for the supply and installation of automatic gas detection systems

This document concerns the award of a blanket contract for the supply and installation of automatic gas detection systems. Following a market survey carried out among 54 firms in eight Member States, a call for tenders (IT-2696/ST) was sent on 26 May 2000 to four firms and four consortia, each consisting of two firms, in six Member States. By the closing date, CERN had received five tenders from two firms and three consortia in four Member States. The Finance Committee is invited to agree to the negotiation of a blanket contract with the consortium SPIE TRINDEL (FR) ? WINTER (DE), the lowest bidder, for the supply and installation of automatic gas detection systems for a total amount not exceeding 3 400 000 euros (5 297 600 Swiss francs), not subject to revision until 31 December 2003. The above amount in Swiss francs has been calculated using the rate of exchange stipulated in the tender. The consortium has indicated the following distribution by country of the contract value covered by this adjudication proposal: DE - 52%, FR - 48%.
